I have opened my last bottle of 2011 Red Raspberry. It is really good. I was pretty pleased with my restraint for saving it for 3 years.

Currently enjoying 2012 Red Muscadine...

Sipping on what was left in the bottle of my 2013 Amador Gold Petit Sirah after I just topped up the barrel. Man! I can't wait for this one. Excellent already. It's my first all-grape batch and I think I got really lucky on this one.

Muscadine gone. Just opened a bottle of the 2012 Gold Medal Elderberry. It was made with 9 lbs per gallon. I haven't had this in 9 months. Wow, the flavor just keeps getting better and better...

And how is it? I'm thinking I need a bottle of that,
I can get you a bottle or 2. Still very full bodied and strong flavor. It has definately smoothed out over time.
A 2012 Pinotage called "Barista." It was, I am pretty sure, my first-ever Pinotage. I liked it! It was quite tasty and the notes of caramel and butterscotch were quite appealing!

Some 18 month old Dragon Blood. At 1 year, I thought it had peaked. Apparently, it had not.

That youtube is great. 10 million views and going strong
Today, I saw a clip of his Good Morning America interview. Michael Strahan was interviewing him. He said "I know you - you used to be a New York Giant. I used to like the Giants, but then my Grandpa brainwashed me to like the Steelers."

Tonight it is a 2012 CC Sterling California Syrah. Tweaked with banana, dried blueberries and dried cherries in primary. It had a healthy dose of oak during bulk aging, along with Tancor Grand Cru and tellicherry peppercorns. It took quite a while to come around (and still is), but it is very complex and enjoyable.
Was this individual glasses of each, or a blend you created? If a blend, can you share more details? Sounds intriguing.

It was a blend. I've been blending wines just to see what comes from it. I was watching something on TV about wine blending, and the expert said that almost every wine can be improved with blending. In this particular case, 2 goods made a better
Last night I blended 2 blends. A 3 year old Chilean Trek and an 18 month old Melange a trois. The result was a very well rounded and fairly tasty wine, but a little too indistinct for my tastes. Apparently you can over blend.

Tonight after a long day working on the house, I'm enjoying a 2011 Noble Muscadine. Wonder if I can find any of the Oaked Muscadine?
