What's in your glass tonight?

Testing an 'over oaked' red that I knocked together in 2016. Having opened the bottle I’m committed to drinking it. I'll definitely be leaving the other bottles at least another 2 years under the house.

My own creation from 2012. El Peso Pesado or "The Heavyweight"! Just now hitting the sweet spot and drinking spectacular with a 40 min decant. Paired wonderfully with leftover brisket from Monday.. 75% Cab Sauv, 15% Syrah, 10% Zinfandel. All made from CA grapes back when I had a fantastic source. If your making wine and its not ready for 6-7 years. You are doing something right! LOL

Drinking a 2 year old bottle of rhubarb wine that I had lost in the other wine in the rack. The extra year of aging made an amazing difference. I have a new rule now for my rhubarb wine - 2 years aging in the bottle.

At Costco, $6.99 plus tax. Too cheap to be true?
This is for tomorrow.

I bought that one awhile back. Pretty good for $7.

That is good to know.
I'll see how this one compares to the Cup Cake (really good SV at the price), which is now up to $9.99 at Costco.

Sauvignon Blanc at an event.

 

[geek]

Well well, this Sauvignon Blanc at this price point is an excellent choice, I’d buy this in a heart beat.!!

Pear on the nose, nice and pleasant minerals and right acidity for me, hands down really good.

For about $7.40 out the door......do I need to say more?

 

[ibglowin]

Considering that an Eclipse NZ Sauv Blanc will cost you ~$5 a bottle plus corks, label, shrink cap on top of that......... $7 for something all you have to do is put in the fridge and crack the cap on demand......

Exactly, why even bother making the wine yourself, LOL

There are some wines that make me wonder that. H3 Cab is one of them. I can get it for about $8 at TW.

Now that's a silly question that we all know the answer to. LOL
