With all the annoying threads about PC, Gil Lempert Schwartz, Rudy, Alice Feiring’s porch, Galloni’s Clos du Val score and Caymus 40th Anniversary, I thought I would start a completely harmless and noncontroversial thread.
I have not been on the list for very long, so I only have bottles back to the 2009 Eleven Confessions Syrah and Grenache. After considering Alfert’s depressing thread about getting old, since he’s 14 years younger than I, I decided to open a bottle for THE GAME. I will smoke three racks of ribs with a dry rub. I may make some chicken satays for appetizers to eat with a Donhoff GG first. I’ll probably open a Saxum as well because my son is home and he likes those.
So what SQN should I open with the ribs?
I knew it, I knew it! It’s genetic! And there is definitive proof:
Peter:
What took you so long.
My parents didn’t drink wine. So there was no way to test the theory…
I suggest, therefore, that it is nurture, not nature. Otherwise, you wouldn’t drink wine either.

So Jay which SQN did you decide on? Cheers and enjoy the game!
I’m going with the Stein Grenache. Slow ox’d it since 9 am. I think I’ll go down to the cellar and start pouring. One of the advantages of only having 6 people, one of whom can’t drink due to a drug regimen, is that I can open enough good stuff without breaking the bank.
Moreimportantly, which Saxum ?
Seems like a 2007 would be the way to go
1999 Marauder, with the Ty Cobb/ Fred Lindstrom World Series label image. The complexity of the blend mirrors a Super Bowl playbook. The label symbolizes the idea of a great competition for a championship.
2007 Heart Stone after 2012 Bionic Frog.
Tasting note on the Heartstone please
Wonderful - double fruit layer, great complexity, just starting to come into its own. Mourvedre meatyness. More later. Tough choice between then SQN Stein, the 2012 Bionic Frog and the 2007 Saxum Heart Stone. An embarrassment of riches.
