What's in your glass tonight?

Tonight I celebrate a $22 per share spike in my Netflix stock with 2016 Sweetpea Farms Blackberry. Mmmm...

Here's to hoping you had at least $1,000,000 invested.

Not really "tonight", but some Swiss clients of my wife recently gave her some fondue and a bottle of Fendant, which is considered the wine to have with fondue. And it actually is. It has the correct aroma and palate to correctly match with a real Swiss fondue.



Side note: Since we left Switzerland, this was the first fondue we had in 10 years. We just can not really get real Swiss fondue here unless self import if from Switzerland or have someone bring it or send it.

Now use your ginormous Crystal Ball(s) and tell us all when to get out!

Ummm - no. But it was enough for a good bounce!

To my way of thinking, it looks good for up to two years max. Next quarter should be a good report, too. Disclaimer: The market is sometime going to tank, and if that happens, all bets are off. Your mileage may vary.

The wife said being we are both sick we should only have one bottle of wine tonight! Guess which one I picked? It a 2014 Biagio Chianti.,purchased at Costco Christmas 2015 for like $24 for the 3 liter bottle. Surprisingly good, bought it for bottle, not the wine. Awesome. Roy

Papaya, stone fruit and lighter than expected acidity make this pretty interesting for a Sauvignon Blanc and a pleasant weeknight drink. A touch of residual sugar as well.

The wife said being we are both sick we should only have one bottle of wine tonight! .... the 3 liter bottle.

You, my friend, are too clever. But beyond that, I am kinda wanting to trick you out of the house, and insinuate myself with your lovely wife (the one who thinks that you should cut down to only a bottle when you are ill).

Roy, what wine is the white wine bottle on the left in that picture?

Varis, that is our Apple Wine 2011, took it out of the chiller for the pic & put it right back in!! Roy

Finally kicked the current keg of Pale Ale (1.046 OG, 34 IBU) and hooked up the next keg (next man up mentality here). A Sierra Nevada clone type beer (1.054 OG, 39.5 IBU) and wow, almost knocked my socks off. Just short of two weeks old (started 1/13/18) and tasting pretty darn good. I'll admit it took a second pint to get used to the hop increase, but now that I have adjusted I'm having issues not pouring "just one last beer" before I seek the warm and comfortable bed. It should clear up a bit as it ages in the keg, if I let it. I'm hoping some of this will last until the Superbowl, if not I have a batch of Eagles Ale to follow, either to toast their victory or drown my sorrows...either one will work for me!

Go Iggles!

Two more bottles of this in the cellar. Corks are starting to go, last two pulled apart. But, man is it becoming something. Very dark and brooding. Full body. The white pepper that was there a few years ago is gone. All dark fruit and earthiness now. A surprise for Dundee Oregon. Went great with the roasted lamb and Brussels sprouts my bride made for dinner. Should I recork the last two or drink? I love dilemmas like this. Went to my wine tasting buddies funeral today. Wish he was here to help me decide. Cheers Bob.

Seems to me that Bob is saying "drink 'em."

Friday I got the email with this review and it sounds like a good buy.

 

[mainshipfred]

Sounds interesting, might pick up a few bottles today.

Interesting comments about the residual sugar. Usually a big turnoff for me in a red wine. Sure, I'll drink it - and often enjoy it if it isn't too much, but it isn't my first choice and I always feel like the winemaker is trying to hide something. I wonder how much RS is really in there.

Came back from Costco and will be trying that 2015 OVZ....

I loved this last night. It's big, layered and complex, with pleasant tannins. Oh, how I wish I had bought a case. Highly recommend.
