What's in your glass tonight?

[winemaker81]

Went to the basement and grabbed a bottle of wine I didn’t even know what it was since it is one of the last batches I made and didn’t add any label.

It's got beautiful color. Any idea what it is?

I think it may be a blend but cannot put my “finger” on the blend, possibly cab and Merlot, will check the box again, maybe there’s a bottle with a label

I'm going to guess it's one of your Chileans.

You might be right, Jim.
I've been careless once I stopped making my own wines and even have 15gals of red and white still sitting in carboys for a long time.

Look what I found in the basement, a few bottles of this wine kit I made a few years ago, very good tasting, salud

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a Bin 389 day today. Turkey was so big we had to lay a towel under the platter to keep the juices from dripping on the tablecloth.



Mmm. A lil post-dismemberment glass...

We did a sparkler with the Thanksgiving dinner.

After Thanksgiving dinner, my niece, my son, and I conducted a French wine tasting. She had never had Rhone or Beaujolais, and my son had never done a side-by-side tasting.

From left to right: Jupiter, a southern Rhone (75% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah), a Bordeaux (Merlot heavy with Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc, proportions not listed), and Beaujolais (Gamay).

The winner was the Bordeaux (both niece & son favor Merlot) but there were no losers. It's instructive to contrast the different grapes against each other.

LOL, in the audience last night to eat steak and hear Admiral Michael Brooks, immediate former director of the National Security Agency, speak about national security to a cyberdefense and defense contractor crowd ... and what am I doing? I'm taking pix of the wine bottles at the table to share with you guys! I drank the red. And drank the Jack and 7 in the pic, from the earlier open bar mixer (also shown).

Getting together a lil quick BBQ turkey sandwich supper, with a side of leftover green bean casserole, and tonight's libation, apple brandy. Mmm...

I don't think it tasted with any RS, but you guys are dry-bone likers so I may be wrong, lol
