What's in your glass tonight?

Our friends left me a couple of bottles of this...... I just don't know what to say, tastes like melted peanut butter Ice cream. Yummy, weird, I like it but don't think I should.... has a really long finish like I just ate a half dozen really rich peanut butter cookies....... 6.3 abv and I'm motivated to finish what I start.... but probably not opening another anytime soon.

Makes me think of the Sweet Baby Jesus Peanut Butter Porter. I know people that love it, but I can't stand it.

Revisiting the remnants of the Petite Sirah/Zinfandel wine that @jgmann67 made that we both contributed young wine to originally fermented in the Fall of 2016. Just so many good flavors bursting out of this wine. Perfect ending to a beautiful evening in front of a small fire with my bride.

I had something similar last weekend, peanut butter whiskey. I think the name of it was Skrewball. Kinda okay, but more something I'm going to buy.

Ooh! I have a bottle of that downstairs.

Tried to post last night but had issues...Jim, I think you can open that now, just give it some air time. I had a second glass and it was better than the first. That background taste that I thought was inherent to the Dornfelder varietal is gone. Very smooth and drinkable. I have another bottle or two of that if you like it.

This is hitting the spot after doing some yard work. 75 degrees, partly sunny, gentle breeze. Perfect day, I'd say.

Does it remotely taste like an IPA?

Yep. On the lighter side, of course, and a little fruity.

A glass of a blend of Coconut Yuzu and Tropical Dragon Blood. Not fancy but I really like it. Good thing I do because after blending it, I have about 5 gallons of it.

@ceeaton I’m not necessarily a fan of a pale ale but reached into the beer case we bought at Costco and this is what came back in my hand. I’m more a lager beer fan boy but this ain’t bad

Last one. And I'm loving it - just wish there was a lot more.

Just finished mowing the yard. Its 88F, 7% humidity and not a cloud in the sky. Need something ice cold and wet STAT! This hit the spot.

Pulled this 2015 Chateau Clos du Roy Fronsac out of the cellar and OMG was it good. Smooth. The bouquet from the glass literally filled the whole room.

I enjoyed a crappy, oxidized wine. This takes some explanation!

Last fall, I made a Viognier from juice from Prosser, WA. After racking down, etc., I had a 6-gallon carboy and a 1.5 L vessel, for eventual use in topping. I used a universal bung with arilock. However, when I checked sometime over the winter, the bung was not seated well, and the wine was oxidized. I didn't throw it away, but it was clear that the wine in the 1.5L vessel was compromised.

I recently fined the 6 gallon vessel, and will soon bottle, so the 1.5 L vessel is clearly expendable. Since it is the only white wine in the house, I decided to tap it to go with dinner tonight (grilled shrimp). It was okay, barely. Oxidized with off-notes. Oh well! At least the 6-gallon batch seems fine.
