Really enjoyed this.
@jbarwick how do you enjoy the Papillon? It may be subconscious bias, but I think I prefer the Palermo from all the OS Cabs I’ve tried to date.

Had a cheap, Spanish Monastrell tonight. It delivered.

Turley Casa Nuestra today. New blend for them - good, but needed a few years (or more ‘serious’ food)

It was great as always. We stopped buying Prisoner/Saldo recently as there are better wines for the price but they are part of their own company now. I think we are almost out of our Papillon stash so we are discussing what to buy next for Holiday's and other such occasions. This Papillon haul was bought on a steal in Dallas maybe 5 years ago. It was some outrageous price like $35/btl so we loaded up to our limit at the time.

Is this that cheaper one from Total Wine? I feel like every time you've posted it, the only place I can find it in TN is the Total Wine 3hrs away and no place will ship it to me

Can't remember where last night's came from as it's been in the cellar a couple of years.

I love this. It's so good.

Finished this off yesterday after a shameful two evenings drinking

(opened second one though to keep things in balance). A no named wine with a blanc label. Did I really had anything to drink? This is on a deep philosophical leve but I believe I got a case here

French wine harvests 'at stake' as vintners desperately try to keep fields warm

Vineyards in the French wine region of Chablis are lit up with candles and burning hay bales in an effort to save the 2021 crop from being badly damaged by unseasonably cold frosts.
