2018 Oregon Route Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

not bad, but not quite for me...a bit too earthy, I'm looking for maybe thinner/lighter pinot noir.

2019 Chateau Montaud Cotes de Provence rose
seems to go with all foods. nice stuff cheap...all my roses are cheap.

2016 Valley View Vineyards Tempranillo

Valley View is a local high volume(ish) producer that makes decent wine, this one is thin for a Tempranillo and acidic but it’s ok. I’d have rather had a cheap Spanish one over this but the store where I went didn’t have any and it was on sale for $9.99.

Made butter chicken and rice for dinner.

Frank, stick with Provence and Languedoc and Roussillon for rose, you will never go wrong.

sure seems true.
have had a Greek roditi (sp?) once or twice that I enjoyed.
Perhaps I'm not critical enough yet.

Not saying I wouldn't flip over an expensive rose, but year after year I've been more than happy with <$20/bottles of the pink juice. and most of those were < $15!
Can't say the same for pinot noirs and cabs.

now that I think about it, didn't you send the roditi in that crate of rose?

last night, 2018 Rascal Pinot Noir...(the Great Oregon Wine Company)

Kirkland 2018 Malbec
A very smooth and tasty Malbec

Yes, I did. Try a high quality rose, it will be an eye opening experience. Black Bird, Elk Cove, Il Poggione, La Spinetta, Pascal Jolevet, Petite Bourgeois, Alain Juame, Puech Haut, La Farge, to name a few. In relative terms they are inexpensive. My list above ranges from 11 to 25.

okey dokey!

Last night had some Ledger David Cab Franc with chicken&sausage jambalaya

Liberty Creek Pink Moscato - 750ml down, 750ml to go. Mmm, Walmart wine.

Pink moscato.....hmmmmm ok Karen

So sweet! Wine's not my thing, so I'm drinking it from a pilsner glass.

Mkkkkk, that doesn't count as wine. Z, even a Karen wouldn't drink that.

2016, Austin Hope Cabernet Savignon, Paso Robles, California. An absolute WOW! 98 point review from Vinus is spot on.

Hahaha, I'm a failure and could not finish it.

2016 Ledger David Chenin Blanc paired with prawns and gnocchi in Alfredo sauce (my daughter picked dinner. I picked wheat baguette and green leaf salad. Should have put a touch of fresh nutmeg in the sauce...

Grabbed some cherries at the store (daughter LOVES cherries) good god these are good with white wine.

Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon

Damn good!

19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia.

Very smooth with hints of dark cherries. A Father's Day gift from my daughter.

2017 Primarius Pinot Noir- Oregon
pretty decent, pretty cheap
