From what I can tell this is 70 to 80% Shiraz. I just bottled a S African blend that is 83% Shiraz/17% Cabernet. I`m going to have to buy a bottle to compare. I'll give you one when I return your pump.

Not bad at all for $11 or so. Like yours, I think it would benefit from a rest.

The 2016 was great after it laid in my cellar two years. I drank it in '21.

I know it's Derby Day, but I just wasn't in the mood for bourbon.

My son did a combination Mother's Day dinner for his mom and a birthday dinner for me, making shrimp scampi and a cheesecake with lemon curd. Dinner included a Sauvignon Blanc, and we sampled my present afterward.

Just topped everything off and pulled a sample of the 2021 Serène Blend. Delish already! Here’s what’s in the 225L barrel: 90L of Clos du Lac Petite Sirah, 60L of Clos du Lac Cab Franc, 52L of Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and 23L of Rattlesnake Hills Malbec. Coming along nicely.

OK, this hasn't been in my glass (yet), but today I learned that apparently some people are mixing wine and vodka together. They call it a "Brutal Hammer." I dunno...

Remember... Just 'cause all your friends are doing it, doesn't mean you have to!

BITD, if my friends were doing it, it was usually best to NOT do it!

That seems like a terrible thing to do to wine. I'm thinking I am going to pass on that.

OTOH, it seems like a wonderful thing to do to vodka!

Just the other day my daughter in law ordered a drink that was wine and vodka. I said yuck and after taking a sip, double yuck.

I've been on an Old Fashioned kick as of late.
