Eclipse Sauvignon Blanc. 1 year old and tasty! Time to get it in the rotation.
What's in your glass tonight?

Bought a bottle of Muscato. Another wine I have little experience with, couldn't even remember what it tasted like, just knew many were sweet. This one has a really nice overall flavor, and although sweeter than what I normally drink, it is quite pleasant and enjoyable. Went well with some spicy nachos I had for dinner.
Considering a kit purchase as I really don't have any sweet wines (a few off-dry bordering on semi-sweet) to offer guests. I imagine one kit would fill my need for many years to come. I could also buy some golden muscat grapes from my local source next fall. I am assuming that is what muscato wine is made from?

Home made 2012 pear wine, a little sweet for me but still good after cutting firewood all afternoon

Eclipse Barolo, 27 months old. A very, very slight hint of kit taste and I might have overoaked a tad. Nice though. I should have added more tannin.

Tonight, it is my 'Chianti Ripassa", a Vinifera Noble Chianti fermented on the gross lees of a CC Sterling Amarone. I added some raisins in the primary and a couple extra ounces of american heavy chips in the primary. It is quite yummy. Just reaching a year old now.

I have done this on several occasions. I have also made a GCI Barolo on the gross lees of a CC Showcase Amarone. It is terrific! May have been better with a bit more tannin but it is quite nice as it is. This is a winner of a tweak, in my opinion.

A 2013 petite sirah. Considering I have some in the basement undergoing MLF I thought I'd hunt one out at the store. Big. Bold. Chewy. Cloyingly drying. Heavily oaked. Not many discerning flavors besides oak. 15%. Longest finish I have ever experienced. I still feel it scratching my throat 20 minutes later. Need. Water. One glass is all I can handle. Not my cup of tea. Mine tastes better [emoji12]
Recent openings, all amazing. Not a dud in the bunch. Gorman Zachary's Ladder was the best, Lauren Ashton Cuvee Arlette 2nd, Saviah Cellars GSM was 3rd. Awesome sauce!

Opened a bottle of 2012 Nine Hats Red Blend from Long Shadows winery. This is the best $19 bottle of wine you will ever have. It can be laid down for 5 years easily. Paired really well with a Prime cut of Rib Eye last night. The Long Shadows Story is here.
