Yer but hopefully its allowed on here ;-)
Im drinking a lovely home made red kinda similar to a merlot, which Ive bottled in an old calvet 2012 merlot bottle, which incidently I found enjoyable as well.

I have 1 liter remaining....
I thought I had a case stashed, but just went looking for it and no dice. Only two bottles on the rack, and one in the wine fridge. I should have made another batch this past spring. Hopefully, they'll offer it again and I can grab one this spring. It's a keeper!
Bottled 1/2 (5 gal) of my Chilean Bordeaux blend (Merlot/Cab Sauv/Malbec). Sampled some (hence it is currently in my glass) and think this will be starting to get really good around this time next year. It is drinkable now, better than any of my other reds, just needs more time. Plan on adding some finished tannins to the remaining 5 gallons that is bulk aging and bottling this spring.
Wouldn't have bottled yet but I needed the 5 gallon glass carboy for another project.

Wasn't in my glass, but will be soon. I went to Total Wine last night. You've got to love H3 Cab for $10.37/bottle.

It was in the store. But here is the wine:
http://www.totalwine.com/wine/red-w...st-h3-cabernet/p/104059750?s=201&igrules=true
And I was mistaken. It was only $10.27.
I can attest to that. This was very good. It has me contemplating a fresh juice and grape blend this fall.
Spring and Chilean grapes are in the air. You can practice on the Chilean stuff and apply what you learn to the fall harvest.
Bottled plenty of 375 ml's on the Bordeaux/Meritage blend. I'll send a bottle over at 12/18/24/30 months with my brother for you to sample along with me so we can track its progress and learn as we go. I'll do the same to the other half of the batch that I'm going to add the additional tannins to so we can compare and note any differences.

My Pinot Gris from 10-2014 bottled 10-2015 did not filter. Tasting good although not real good it's still young! By next Christmas it will be great!
I seem to have the knack on getting things to stand sideways
and after it being in the glass abou 30 minutes, it's b/w good and real good now lol

Enjoyed a little Amarone and amaretto last night.
Been bringing one of these to my parents' place for the last 6 or 7 Christmases and will crack this one open when we get there this afternoon.
