Tallax Shiraz 2020 Australian good.

Amalaya 2019 Malbec
The pundit Syrah
Proto reserva 2011 this one was very good. Best bottle I’ve drank in a good while. From Spain

Jake, I have only had 1 Malbec I liked, it was from France in the Bordeaux. Malbec is 1 of the five original grapes allowed in red Bordeaux. Many vineyards in Argentina are changing from Malbec to other wine grapes.

2020 Louis Jadot red Burgundy, Volnay, le Calleret.

Hey Spey, I’ve drank Malbec for years. It’s certainly not Uber complex or anything like that I just like it. I like Bordeaux better probably 9/10 times but there’s just something about basic Malbec and Malbec heavy blends that does something for me.

^ me either jeebs

Alamos 2020 Malbec
Bone shaker zin 2019

I used to by all kinds of ZINFANDEL...BUT THAT was when I had money...

The brand with the narly root on the front label was very good...

I may start watching for sales and get a bottle of that again...

When I visited California twice in the 90's I tasted some delicious zinfandel all over the state and a few in Washington state also...

For our 33 anniversary I got out the Riedel and pulled a good one out of the Vinotemp.

2019 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Dave Harvey Upriver series 2021 Mourvedre Grenache Syrah. Obviously a blend and I’m not sure if this is something a wine snob looks down their nose at, but dang it is tasty and pairs well with this LGC Serie R.

I’d drink it w you jeebs. I drink and smoke all over the spectrum. This bottle I’m drinking came from the “naked wine” subscription

^ agreed. Bourdeaux Is just one example

DED, are you in to wine? Or just trifle a bit?

I didn’t stick with the subscription jeebs just got a large package from splash and naked. I usually go to the shpo or order online from places that’ll ship to me

Prolly our oldest Shiraz is only a few years. We drink a lot of Aussie wines from McLaren Vale and Barrosa Valley. We buy it, we drink it. Drinking Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy 2019 now.

Man, I was going to say that sounds cool but it sounds wonderful. Your 33 year commitment is laudable as well. (Spell check almost had me with laughable but I caught it just in time. 🥴)

I didn't mean at that moment. Ment were are drinking from a stash of 2019 purchased in 2020.

LOL But you do you and we won't judge.

2019 Donelan Tripp's Block Pinot Noir, Bennett valley winery, Mendicino vineyard. In a blind tasting I would swear this is a high-quality Volnay from Les Caillerets vineyard. So far, the one of best finds on the vacation.

Monsanto Chianti 2015 Italy
Robert mondavi maestro napa valley good but wouldn’t pay 40$ again 2017
Montebuena rioja 2020 Italy
Meiomi Pinot noir 2021 California

The maestro was a blend and the best of the night. Just not close to a 40$ blend. Big hangover Sunday morning. Fairly confident we opened more but I don’t honestly remember. Crashed out at my buddies house. Been awhile since we had one of those nights

2019 Rhys vineyard Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountains, Alpine Vally vineyard. The 2019's have been amazing as a whole. We have had an account with them for a number of years.

2019 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evstead vineyard, Willamette Valley.

2020 Van Duzer Dijon clone block Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon.

2018 arbor bench meritage dry creek valley ^ cause Matt said the best grapes in the world are grown there.

Arte? Red blend from Portugal

Jake, I have run into quite a few Malbec blends I have enjoyed.

2010 Domaine Wassler Riesling Grand Cru Frankstein, Alsace

^ that’s what happened to me last weekend deadeye. Sunday morning was rough 😂

You guys order your wines or do you buy local? Like liquor stores? I’ve been digging around online a little lately but not sure where to source stuff

Jake, make sure you know the cost of shipping before you order online.
