Dayuum........
Why is the last bottle from a batch always the best. This took its sweet time to come together and soften. Chalk it up to mixing free run with press run to top off the barrels over time I suppose. This was from 2011 LODI grapes from my infamous FVW visit where the truck didn't show up for two days after it was supposed to. Mostly Cab Sauv and a sprinkling of the rest of the other Bordeaux grapes I had that year. Notice the cork. Lafitte 1+1 and looking beautiful even after ~5 years of laying down in the cellar.

Buddy of mine has been raving about this wine. Unlitro- Costa Toscana Rosso. A Grenache blend from Tuscany.
He bought a few cases for his wedding last week and had a lot left over and gave me a bottle. Only sold in 1L bottles.
Diving in tonight!

Needed something to go with take out pizza when it has been a tough week and it is only Thursday. 2009 Cougar Crest Cab Franc (93pts WS) was just about perfect.......

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Tough week? You just retired.
Hope all is well.

In San Antonio to help out with my mom. Had some type of low BP cardiac event yesterday and we ended up in the ER and then admitted for observation for a couple days. She is feeling much better today but not sure what is causing these drops in BP causing her to almost pass out. I caught her as she fell yesterday. She fell last week and nobody was with her when it happened so she has a shiner. She has cardiac issues but she is not in good enough health to try and fix and survive the procedure so she has a DNR in place. Stubborn farm girl. Should get to come home tomorrow but then we just kinda wait for the next event. Positive thoughts very much appreciated.
Definitely feeling for you and for her. I understand the situation. Good luck to all.
Praying for the best for you and your mom
so sorry to hear about your mom, keeping her and you in our thoughts

Don't know what will be in it yet, but there will be plenty. Just passed my ITIL Expert Certification.

Well, congrats! (I think -- After a fair amount of googling, I am not sure what ITIL is!)

Basically a framework for the management of IT services. Not bad for a finance guy!
Varis, I'm not seeing any tasting notes on those last two wines....at 44 months old I can only imagine they are well aged?
The Chilean Malbec is good....but the Cab Sauv and Merlot blend is REALLY good...
The latter made from fresh grapes and the Malbec a cheap 10L WE kit but very good too.
That 10 liter WE was the first kit I ever made.
