Enjoying a Toscana after my ribeye and grilled veggies.

Love that wine. One of my first "aha" moments in food and wine pairings!

Amarone, old style Barolo, brunello......the best

Oh, good God. For a minute, I read this as Amarone, Old Style, Barolo, brunello......the best. I was very puzzled!

 

[Enologo]

Found it. Like it.

Ok not the eye opener that the Amarone was but very nice and not an arm and a leg.

What's in your glass tonight...

I'm drinking a Maelstrom American Stout Brewed in Beaumont, Texas

It's 1 pint 6 ounces with a 6.8 ABV

Smooth and sweet.

1.5 year old dry Apple wine

Not a bad evening…….

CC Showcase Argentina Malbec...

 

[Boatboy24]

Drinking AND eating well, Varis.

 

[ibglowin]

Who needs Argentina when WA State can produce a Malbec like this! As good or better than any bottle from Argentina!

 

[geek]

Got this at Costco and will try tonight...I hope it will be good..

How did you like the Carnivor, Varis?

Here was my impression of this wine:

Upon opening: Smooth, languid, cough syrup, boysenberry, artificial candy taste, slightly sweet. Bizarre deep purple color, nearly fluorescent. Loooooong legs. The legs themselves look purple. Very viscous. Artificial color and/or glycerol.

Here was my impression of this wine:

Well, not that impressed.
Good aroma, VERY dark in color but it doesn't have that silky flavor I like.

The H3, cheaper, is way much better hands down.
Personally I wouldn't buy again.

 

[ibglowin]

In H3 we trust!

I bought a Barolo to top up my Cheeky Monkey LE Barolo and Barbera blend kit . That was VERY DISAPOINTING ! The other bottle was a Pinot Noir . That was very nice , a rich wine , good color , nice body, with cherry and nice oaking .

I cracked one of my Crabapple Ciders last night. First time since checking the carbonation levels at the beginning.

FANTASTIC. Tasted just like a nice, chilled Strongbow. Acidic enough to be interesting, but not so much that it unbalances the dryness. I consider this a success! Can't wait to sip on it this summer in the garden

Finished off a bottle of my own peach and started a bottle of my own blueberry.

 

[geek]

Trying this Chardonnay from Costco....very good.

 

[RCGoodin]

Drinking tonight.

Mine is from Costco also. It's a Spanish Rioja. Very dry and very bug. I buy a case each time I go. It's on sale for $7.99.

Get some, it's worth it.

The best wine ive had in a long time, some of my home made cherry from January 15, a really nice drink ;-)

Ok ive exceeded my rda at one litre but it was well worth the effort ;-)
