The Official Wine Thread

I really wanna post more here but I’m lazy and usually just catch up on the thread 3-4 pages at a time but this was for my wife’s 40th last weekend

Spatburgunders often have problems getting good hang time and can be overly tart. Global warming might fix this.

This was not tart and did not suck.

how was the 170eme? I’m waiting for the spiritual successor to 164eme

Global warming might fix this.

Not to be pessimistic but I believe it’s a will and not a might. 20-30 years from now it’s gonna be all coteaux champenois, spatburgunder, and Swiss pinot

It’s krug but it was ok. Started the dinner with it, insanely tight and not ready. By the time we had dessert it had opened up but I like 164/168 the best out of the last few

Don't forget Niagara bench and Okanagan Valley.

Okanagan is sadly already sneakily warm. Going to be in the 95-100 degree range next week. Beautiful place though.

Wanted something good to drink but the weather here is way, way too hot to ship any wine. Had to stick with the PA wine store—which, contrary to its usual practice, regularly prices Ruinart than most places

Nice to see Ada Nada getting some action!

 

[erictheobscure]

bought this only to test out my hunch that if the winemaker cares this little about label design, he must be pretty confident about the wine itself

 

[jbarwick]

I have that theory about red wine blends from Wine Access though the weirder the label the more likely I will enjoy it.
