1/3 of a bottle of wine over the course of two hours is the perfect amount. Don’t @ me.

@JS_WineDad @TorbreckBarossa Torbreck Les Amis 2004 is, to this day, one of the best wines I’ve ever had. Straight knockout!

@Jeremyonwine Saint Pierre punches above its weight

Grolleau is known for being a “meh” grape: not much personality, sort of simple, bland. Anne Claude Leflaive, however, has managed to produce quite the wine in 2020. Crowd pleaser with all around positive reviews at a recent lunch for 6. Will try some more. Cheers!

@greg16676935420 That’s Jeff Bezos’ cousin

Spotted in the wild, this old grandpa is holdin up just fine! Love me a Rioja with some age to it. Cheers!

Got to taste Vega Sicilia’s current releases this week. Of the two pictured pictured below, the fella on the right blew me away. Hadn’t had a great Valbuena in quite a while and although way too young, this is definitely one of the great vintages of late. Cheers! 🍷

This is 1 of 12, btw and we’ve had 6 or 7 since I opened the case 2 years ago (OWC, impeccably stored).

Such a cool label, though!

Tasty, if simple, German pinot noir. Love cool finds like this.

@MoutonIsAClaret Love le Moine

@strikertree Sydonius Bordeaux glass, the larger version. Cheers!

@MoutonIsAClaret Very prices, even 3 years ago!

In the second glass: guck. You don’t want to drink this stuff (or look at it, really). As for the wine, probably the best bottle from this lot but still not where it could be. I’ll give it a solid B considering it’s a 50 year old “geezer” 😂 Cheers!

What you see in the first glass is what you want to see: a translucent liquid and a color that is (hopefully) in the range of what would be “age-appropriate” — In this case, big check on the former, sort of check on the second, but hey, close enough.

@JimLockardWine @RussellVine1981 Got it, thank you! Looked like they were blending finished wines 😂
