I figured this could be interesting

This is mine this week

Our family use to have a cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains and we had to drive our garbage and recyclables to the transfer station (dump) and I always looked to see if any of the locals and visitors were drinking anything interesting. There were almost always a couple of surprisingly good to great empties mixed in with the typical supermarket plonk.

Thanks Kris. It did look like a 94 pointer.

Your alcoholic beverage:milk ratio looks pretty even.

Not last week but here is the round up of the last longer, two week holiday. Featuring two bottles contributed by the neighbors, which ones?

@MaciejK What did you think of the Twardowski?

We didn’t enjoy it so much I am afraid. A 2018, closed and hard as nails. I am letting my remaining bottles rest and I skipped the last two vintages but I intend to come back. A more mature bottle I had about 3 years ago was much more inviting. More say a Corton than a spaetburgunder, lean and muscular, with good acidity.

Isn’t this thread just the slightly greener, weekly consolidation, version of the “what wine are you drinking tonight?” :joy:

You don’t need more opportunities to talk about what you drank? :rofl:

A 2016 I believe.
I cannot be sure anymore, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. I struggle a bit with Balthazar wines, I stopped enjoying (and buying) CdR and Cuvee Casimir sometime ago, and I tend to open the big wines too early. Crozes as a daily drinker is fine. But I noticed that Syrah in general is not as mine anymore as it used to be, so make your own calls!

It’s the non-wine products that really have me coming back :joy:

Ouch… Rotkäppchen and Syrah Rose?
