Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Cruiser Elite]

LP Grand Siècle?

Nope - it's a BARBIE world

Quintets need time and patience to shine and the 08 is in a good spot, entering its drinking window and it is just brilliant!

 

[VPS]

Excellent Alsace Riesling

I really like this producer....and not just because of the name

We are currently in Fernie BC, Canada “enjoying” -33 temps! Some bottles from our sojourn…

All these are BC wines mostly from the Okanagan Valley. The ice wine was beautiful and the others were ok with the Frind “The Premier” being somewhat of a standout. Prices are reasonable other than for the ice wines but Canada’s liquor laws are pretty weird.

Well I never... bought this in a strange mixed lot of what I thought would be over the hill Clarendon Hills stuff on getwinesdirect. It turns out to be excellent and still has plenty in it.

There are worse ways to start the week

A fabulous night of wine, music and food with our friends in Merimbula.

Coriole (McLaren Vale) makes nice Chenin Blancs. Their cellar door only wines are always worth a try.

Dinner at Sacher hotel restaurant Rote in Vienna.



Classic old world PN still fresh and vibrant after 15 years.



Deer Wellington cooked to perfection!

Some nice wines from Hungary



Cab Franc made only in exceptional vintages.



Tokaj Aszu with some age on it is just wonderful.

A stunning wine from my wine fridge. Just wonderful nose and mouth feel. Much better wine than the $800 Château d'Yquem 'Y' d'Yquem Blanc we drank last year.

besides the ever-reliable Pig Face and new-vintage Brookland Valley (currently 20% off @ Cellar One), first-time 2020 quaffers - good time to try/buy Amen Break with 20% off @ Prince Wine Store


2015 pinot noirs, including one of my all-time favourite wines, Gembrook Hill - plus perhaps my first untasted direct case buy, 2017 Vanguardist Grenache (looking forward to the GW97 2022)


2006 Charles Heidsieck much better than 2005 same time last year - both pinots similarly good, but distinctively different - half-bottled Suduirant simply delectable

 

[boomy]

Pannell goodness.



Port and ice cream for dessert

With lamb chops for Italian wine invasion day.
