What's in your glass tonight?

[Doug’s wines]

I often add a drop (or ten) of sweet spiced rum to my wife’s dry whites. She loves it. I also have some cassis I add every so often. Makes a really cool cocktail because the cassis drops to the bottom of the glass and stays until she swirls it up real good.

to stay true to the vermentino I wonder if a little aperol + club soda would be good?

2012 right bank Bordeaux blend from Saviah Cellars. Awesome from first to last drop. Went especially well with some rigatoni with bolognese sauce.

My 2017 Malbec was perfect with burger night last night.

That was a great kit. Wish they'd do another.

At a little over 2 years, this one is drinking pretty well!



goes pretty well with pizza hut thin crust pepperoni, sausage and bacon pizza.

I don't have a picture of this. Today my wife and I bottled a double batch of Peach Apricot Chardonnay, an Elderflower, and a Blueberry. A total of ten cases. If course we had some leftover partial bottles. I can upstairs and my wife has poured some into a glass for me and there was a bottle sitting next to it. Unbeknownst to me the glass had the peach Apricot Chardonnay and the bottle was the Elderflower. So into the one I poured some of the other, boy did that taste good. Both are good on their own, but together was wonderful.

You would think that RJS would have called that Spanish blend "Garnacha/Syrah." Sounds good, though!

Maybe this one did not come up as expected but to me it is missing something, aside from being very dry, it is like a bit tart and out of flavor.

i made it per instructions.

You won’t be wealthy long by buying 92 point wines for $104. If you’re going to spend that kind of money on a bottle of wine, you can do much better!!

I was a stags leap club member for several years. Fay is my favorite single they do, although cask 23 and SLV are both very good. Parker gave the 16 a 96, and spectator a 94

Special occasion bottles.

That’s my last remaining stags bottle. Drank all the Fay and SLV already.

LOL! If you work at it, you can get really good wines for attractive prices, just gotta be willing to try some different things

For a change, the most enjoyable thing I had from NM today wasn't a photo from Mike:

Sister in law and her kids came by yesterday so we could all sit 6 feet apart on the deck. Nice socializing again. Popped a bottle of the Viognier/Rousanne/Marsanne and a bottle of the 2017 Merlot (with some Cab Franc). Both were very good.

I bottled some wine yesterday. It’s a white sangria I purchased from Midwest. Of course we had to have some!
