In San Antonio visiting my folks. Made a Costco run today. Found Gorman wine at a Costco!

Steaks on the grill tomorrow night but tonight its a Costco Take N Bake Pizza with some of that Kirkland Signature CV Merlot Cabernet. Will report back how it goes down later.

And I like your patio!

Humid and in the mid 80's. Neighborhood block party early this evening. That's screaming Eclipse Sauvignon Blanc (after an IPA).

Tonight's wine is a 2012 Château Fleur Cardinale Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. It was paired with a Pasta Rigatoni with Italian Sausage.

Dark inky like purple with scents of bramble and dark fruit. Black cherry, raisin, black current and a bit of peat moss on the palate. Not only full bodied, but a ripe full flavor with good structure to match.

This is beautiful now, but I bet it will only get better. It's a keeper!

I think I am making a Costco run later today only to grab a couple of those Kirkland CV Merlot Cab.

Did you try it?

I think it's pretty good and will be spectacular with some more aging, but pretty good right now.

 

[ibglowin]

Yep, It was good and went well with Pizza. Lots of fruit, a little light on tannins and oak for my taste but very approachable now. Good QPR.

How many you got, a whole case? Lol

 

[dcbrown73]

2012 Goldeneye Pinot Noir. Tonight's doesn't taste quite as well as the one I had a couple of weeks ago. (at least as I can remember)

 

[ibglowin]

I have 2 at the house. This would be a "bulk buy" if I didn't already have 400 bottles of Commercial and another 500 bottles of my own "hooch" resting in the cellar. LOL

2010 Yering Station Village Shiraz Viognier

Dark purple in color. On the nose I Raspberry, plum, hints of raddish, and black tea. On the palate, I have a stewed cranberry of sort, vocanic rock, and a brazilian nut with hints of tobacco. Medium plus body with a slight hint of higher acidity that burned off within minutes of the pour.

 

[Boatboy24]

2014 La Finca Argentina Tempranillo that I picked up from Trader Joe's. Light (but not too much), fruity, and nicely balanced with a little oak and acid. Nice buy.

No was mine, but knowing how teenagers are in procuring.....
I wouldn't be surprised if someone had some tucked away somewhere.

Hawthorne, NY. Not too much further down the road from you.

Tonight's wine comes at the recommendation of a G+ wine friend of mine.

2014 Selbach-Oster Riesling feinherb

Tasting Notes:
Straw in color. Aromas of citrus fruit, honeydew and rubber. Flavors of Limon, light grapefruit, and pear. A slightly highened acidity, though it works well with the vivid citrus structure. It's smooth even with the acidiy and has a bit more body that I expected.

Final Thoughts:
Almost Sauvignon Blanc like, yet it still has the Riesling character. Very interesting, and very good!
