I enjoyed a 40 year old Taylor Port for the first three innings while my VP finished it’s decanting. Then came the 1983 Gould Campbell Vintage Port. Outstanding juice and in the good old days just $29 (and then went up to $39 : (
The Port was as solid as the Yankees win. Nice rebound Pettitte!
Last night…2004 Quilceda Creek Red Wine that was HORRIBLY corked. I mean bad.
Followed it up with a nice bottle of 2006 Paradigm Merlot.
I’m with Glenn here. So Ian, what do you drink for Bastille Day? Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc?

Txakolina?
2004 Andrew Will Two Blondes Vineyard last night - about equal parts Cab Fr & Cab Sav with 20% or so Merlot. very solid.
Nice! Glenn had two blondes last night!
well Monday sucked: game 5 'nuff said - goodness i dislike Girardi and i don’t even live in NYC anymore, lost MNF for my fantasy squad on last PThomas TD catch - 123.54 to 122.15, g-friend pissed @ me for something i did, etc etc…
but this older bottle rocked…
cork densely stained thru bottom 1/8th " or so. color close to megapurple and both nose and taste so incredibly youthful and full of fresh, dark fruit. tannins nearly completely resolved and barely perceptible, there were not a lot of secondary characteristics but i wanted more when this was gone! this was more hedonistic than the 1994 Mayacamas and enjoyable on a very different level.
Game #6 winning wine was 1993 Ridge Maple Vineyard! like Jager in some repects, American Oak a bit too “there” on the nose for me but not like BV. some real heat on the finish but not remotely like a fortified wine. definitely memorable on a memorable night!
2007 Pacific Rim Riesling Wallula Vineyard (Biodynamic)
2007 Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon
interesting that my two best bottles were opened on nights The Philles won!
