What's in your glass tonight?

I ask because I have a 3L H3 Cab Sauv from 2010 sitting in my cellar and I keep thinking we need to find an occasion to pop open a giant bottle like that but have not. Your tasting notes made it sound like it was perhaps over the hill and I got a bit panicky. My cellar is 55F for about 6 months of the year but creeps up or down to/from 65 max during the Summer so I was wondering if yours was stored at a warmer temp or similar temp as mine. Sounds like I need to throw a Summer BBQ in a few months!

EDIT: oops, that sounded defensive. I actually really want to know!

This reminds me I have a couple H3 Cab Sauv/Merlot from Costco sitting in the basement for like 2 years now...

A few months sounds like too long..!!

Really enjoying this PG. Think it’ll be great with the Chicken Piccata.

Must be Italian Night here at WMT...

Must be Italian Night here at WMT...

Seems like it..!!

This Super Tuscan is one I made a few years ago, the nose and flavor is intense, but it has a kick at the end, maybe high acidity, but the flavor is powerful.

If it's over the hill for drinking I think it will have an easy 2nd chance career in the bottom of this dish....

Doing some testing, tasting and topping up in the winery this afternoon (@mainshipfred : the SC-300 works like a charm). I grabbed a bottle of Columbia Crest Grand Estate 2017 Syrah for the top ups where I didn't already have 'extra' wine. This is a really nice wine - grab some if you can. Only ten bucks at Wegmans and more than worth every penny.

I heard it was national "open that bottle" day today. Good excuse to pop a cork on something I have had sitting in the cellar for a few years. 2010 J. Bookwalter Volume One. Did not suck. 100% Cab Sauv from the CV. Paired very well with some leftover beef stew from a couple nights ago.

Last night it was Chateau Clos du Roy 2015 Fronsac. And tonight, too, probably.

There was only half a glass of Clos du Roy left for last night, so I opened one of these. Mmm... South Africa...

At Costco, wife tells me the original price was $50 when this came in and now they dropped the price to $26.89.

2 bottles of champagne and 2 glasses in the box.

Definitely buying 2.

I like this one with a good steak! I have a few of these in my cellar.

I should grab a few more to sit on. I like them a lot.
