I Waited Very Patiently

[jobe05]

I was very good...., surprised myself by leaving my hands off of JW's
wine that he sent me about 6 or 7 years ago........ at least it seems
that long ago, maybe it's only been a couple of weeks.....



Well, for a long time I have been trying to think of not just what
would go with this wine, but what would be deserving of this
wine.............



I do have a history with wild grapes that go back to my teen years.
Unfortunately all I knew what to do with them before I got into wine
making was jelly or as a sauce to go over wild duck or rabbit. The
wild grapes I was use to had an almost Grape juice, or grape Popsicle
flavor. After JW posted he was going to make wine from these type
grapes, I could only imagine what that would be like.



So ............... I said the bottle was in the fridge for this
weekends grand opening, and today is Friday......... and LET THE
WEEKEND BEGIN!!!!!



I chose a simple yet deserving meal for this wine

Fillet Mignon, Sea Scallops, Saphron Rice, and Califlower. My oldest son and I had the Scallops, y wife and youngest son had shrimp scewers with Masta's Mojo spice on them.

This wine was unbeleivable! My hats off to you JW

This wine was just like I imagined, Nice grape flavor, very full bodied and left on the sweet side. No one could possibly make a better meal with a better wine (at least for me) than this meal.

Sadly................ It ended as fast as it began............

:

As said JW........ My hats off to you, that was one of the top bottles of wine I have ever had, sincerely, you did a great job with this wine. Thank you so much for sharing it with me................

Now what was so different about that second bottle you sent me....... I may have to find out.

My goodness. That sounds great Jobe- both the wine and the meal! My oldest boy "cooked today" on his day off. He had gotten a couple subs, so we had sub pieces with WE Trinity Red wine. I think- make that know you had a much better meal! My hat's off to both you and JW for such a good meal with his great wine!

Wow JW, now thats a great review!

That "ole *******" knows how to make wines now. I too can attest to that

 

[jobe05]

He sure does Waldo..... After the initial very pleasant surprise Grape taste, I was very surprised and pleased of the balance on this wine. If I recall, this was his first gallon batch that was rather experimental, so that makes this even more of a surprise that he got a handle on what the wine needed in order to come out perfectly like he did. Thats wat I have a problem with......... I can only fix a bad wine well after the wine is done and just flavor it with something. JW seems to have hit this spot on the first time. Impressive.

Nice looking meal there. Sounds like good pairings. Those scallops look great!
