Visiting family in Paraguay (South America). No wine today (too hot and dry here to grow anything local), but I did pick up a few bottles of South American Whisky for about $5-7 USD each.
I won't drink the south American stuff until I get home (not expecting it to be any good, but will be interesting to share it in my whisky club), but got a small bottle of Sandy Mac I am sipping on (Scotch but popular down here and can't get it in Canada).

@jgmann67 inspired me to open a bottle of that WS Amarone. Started 1/10/16, so its almost 3 years old. Swapped the yeast for BM4X4. Kit came with skins and raisins. I used the raisins in secondary, as well as adding a little Tancor Grand Cru. 6 months in a neutral 23 liter Vadai. No notes on oak, but this could use more. Its still a little tight and on the acidic side. But totally drinkable.
 
$20 and worth it.

Every now and then you get a tasting wine glass that goes above and beyond what others push out. This one is one of the best ever brought back and yes its Riedel. The wine didn't suck either. 2010 J. Bookwalter Foreshadow Cab Sauv. Crazy 5 Star QPR value.IMG_3890.JPG

As a result, even with minimal skin contact, it turned a little pink. So I made a rose’ with it blending in a few 20 pounds of Limburger. Left it totally dry. Cracked one open tonight. I like it. But too dry for a lot of folks.
 
I made 2 Amorosso from Mosti Mondiali.
One an all juice bucket and the other a Renaissance Impressions 16L kit.
At some point the bottles got mixed and not sure which one is which, but this one I just opened is nice and balanced, nice cherry on the nose and pleasant going down south.
The kit started February 2015.
The juice bucket October 2014 and did MLF on it and added raisins after MLF (yep).
