Opened my last bottle of Ledger David Malbec yesterday…..

My two favorite vineyards both fell victims to divorce.

2020 Turley Zin Old Vines - new case just delivered. Age worthy.

Not a big wino but when you have Italian food sometimes you gotta git yer wine on.

Last night went low brow and picked up Menage A Trois Decadence Cab. I thought it went well with the meal so much that I poured a second glass and had a cigar after dinner.

Fonseca Tawny 20 year

Wine night with prime rib:

Cakebread Cellars Cabernet
Silverado Vineyards Solo Cabernet
Silverado Vineyards Oakville Station Cabernet

19 crimes Martha Stewart. I don’t really dig white wine but I bought it for the bottle. I do really like red wines quite a bit. I’m not into super fine reds. I typically buy Malbec or blends

We don't drink bubbly often but I found a bottle of our favorite to celebrate the New Year.

Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Brut

Charles Woodson's Intercept
Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Technically haven't opened it yet. Going to a dinner party and in addition to the gift for the birthday girl, bringing this along.

Grahams 10 year old Tawny Port, Duero, Portugal

Gonna spend about a week visiting the Willamette Valley this summer. Our favorite pinot area.

1999 Tyrells Vat 1 Semillon, Hunter Valley, Australia. A unique experience. Thought provoking to say the least.

2020 Bouchard Borgogne Rouge, Burgundy, France. Buying 2 cases today. About $20.00/bottle and exceptionally good.
