A) How many countries from each of those continents.

😎 How many specifically named and delineated
regions have you drank wine from?
C) How many sub regions from that delineated region
have you drank wine from?
D) How many varietals or blends of wine have you
drank from that sub region?
E) How many of those varietals or blends have you
drank red, white, and rose versions of?
F) How many of those varietals and blends have you

Ok, I wanted to get through the end of the alphabet, but that's all I got. And I'm not going to give you one that easy either. Freakin amateur!!!

M) Have you ever had a Burgundy that illegally
used beet sugar to bump up the alchohol
content in an underipe vintage?
N) Have you ever had a red Burgundy that blended
in Moroccan wine illegally?

Ummmmm.....

Did I strike a chord??? Holy schitt. Ease up there buckaroo.
You’re sounding a lot like a hysterically wise Latina...

I’ll address your questions once I return home
and have access to my tasting notes in my wine cellar

Until then my friend...

O) Have you ever had mega purple made from Moroccan wine?

S) Have you ever had a whole cluster green pruned red Bodeaux?
T) Have you ever had a red Bordeaux that used all 5 of the traditional Bordeaux grapes?
U) Have you ever had a Cabernet Suavignon, one of the traditional Bordeaux grapes, that strongly tasted of green bell pepper because it was grown into hot of a region such as California's central Valley?
V) Have you ever had a central valley labeled Rhine and didn't know what it was fine Rhine has no meaning on California wines?
W) Have you ever had a Spatlese Riesling from Reingau, the most famous wine region on the Rhine river in Germany?
X) Have you ever had a Mueller Thurgau from German, a workhorse grape that they make their bulk whites from?
Y) Have you ever had a Sylvaner grown primarily in Germany and Austria?
Z) Have you ever had a Federspiel Gruber Veltlinger from Wachau, a sub region, of the delineated region of the Danube valley, in Austria, on the European continent?


Wine comes full circle, how about that? Freakin amateur!!!

Spey! No more wining! I said I’d get to it!

Why am I reminded of this heated debate that I had with Justice Sotomayor???
It’s like déjà vu. And like I’m living it all over again as well.

Get some rest Spey. Please...

Orion’s Nebula (Ledger David)
Schmidt Family Vineyards Cab Franc

OK, OK! Sorry I said whine!
Or were you bored in the hospital?
When you getting out?

the cops had a term other than "wine cellar" for that sub-foundation concrete closet

Bored out of my mind. Am being released shortly today. I am no longer in intermittent A Fib so the Sotalol is working as expected. Also I fall nicely in the parameter range for Sotalal so all is very good.

YAY!
so Spey's wine corner column will be resuming?

Ledger David 2016 Primoris Chenin Blanc

Light honey hued in color. Aromas of pineapple and lemon lead to pear & white grapefruit on the palate balanced with lovely acid structure. The finish is medium bodied and lively with a touch of minerality.

Have you noticed any difference between their 2 Chenin Blancs Z?

just had a glass of High Hook Pinot Noir 2015 Willamette Valley.
Finally a Pinot Noir that doesn't make me think I'm drinking a heavy Cab

Nah, still miles to go on the weight Frank. I was able to maintain in the hospital and am still at 215 lb. Surprisingly I was able to get in 36 K steps while at the hospital. So I have lost 50 lb, and I will loose between 35 lb and 45 lb more. Then I can add wine and hard liqueur back in. No beer, but as you know that is no great loss for me.

Yes, the Encore is sweet, the Primoris is dry.

Makes sense, their vision is very European in nature as are their grape varietals. The Encore is their version of a Vouvray while the Primoris is stylistically a Savenierres.
