What's in your glass tonight?

[eblasmn9]

I am drinking a 2011 Small lots Winexpert 3 continents meritage. Very nice.

A quick sip of my first Riesling!



..an International Series kit from Costco.

 

[vacuumpumpman]

A old kit wine that a friend gave me and I made a port out of it - really good after a hard day at work !!!!

Well, a bit of a cheat. I am enjoying my 2013 WE LE Oregon Pinot Noir. Tonight was bottling night for that batch, and my carboy holds about 31-3/4 bottles. So I get to bottle 31 and drink 3/4!

I am very favorably impressed with this batch. Almost zero KT, and a nice, solid taste. (It is a bit light, in the Oregon/old Burgundian style.) Now put it to bed for 18 months....

Some of my merlot/blackberry combination. 64 ounces of concentrated Merlot and 5 jars of blackberry Jam. It is only six months old but it is very good. Gonna do this again.

I am going to start this one soon. What did you fortify with and how much?

About 3/4 of a bottle of brandy.

About 3/4 of a bottle of brandy.

Funny, I saw the thread title and your reply "3/4 bottle of Brandy". I know where you will be spending the night, passed out.

A nice Rose from whidbey island winery.

Thanks Jim. I will keep the brandy in mind as I make the Black Forest Port.
And Thig, I will try to make sure the 3/4 bottle of brandy goes into the port instead of me. lol

I had a taste of my first Riesling the other night... still has to finish clearing, but it was gooood! Its a Cornucopia kit that I boosted the sugar content.

Last night we polished off another bottle of skeeter pee and then opened a bottle of Duplin Sweet and easy Muscadine.

we are doing operation Restore Sanity at the beach, so we drank a Sweet Red Muscadine (and toasted ffemt), then a couple of Key Limen wines. My wife's aunt and uncle are making margaritas also.

Tonight we will try the new Menage Trios Midnight and a rregular ed Menage Trios. The wife wants to mix some pina colada mix into the cranberry wine and some Lime slushie mix into the Key Limen.....

so we drank a Sweet Red Muscadine (and toasted ffemt)

How did the Muscadine go with toasted ffemt? Did the flavor profile integrate?

 

[Hokapsig]

ffemt gets toasted frequently, along with mrs. ffemt. And we raise a toast to him at times too....

 

[Boatboy24]

Eclipse Barolo. It had it's first birthday earlier this week. It is tasting tart/astringent, which it has not done before. May be that I still have just a touch of the cold I had earlier in the week.

Pretty much, yes.

Go big, or go home.

 

[spaniel]

Bacardi Rum and some diet juice mixer, because we're on vacation and trying to finish off everything in the house since we'll have to throw it away. Though I spent most of the week working through a nice selection of $10-$18 Malbecs my wife picked up at the local Costco.

The Costco-brand Signature, $18, was the standout of the lot.

One of the best Cabernet Sav I've tried....so silky and smooth...

Tried to find this in my local liquor store and also in Costco but couldn't find that vintage. Costco did have an H3 Merlot. May have to try that one. I understand that this region is adjacent to Red Mountain AVA. The ones I have had in the past are outstanding.
