The Official Wine Thread

[Huntsman]

I didn't know about that Musar - I will look for it. Anyway, first wine in a month, wanted big and bold and it is:

 

[ericgereghty]

Beefy

 

[NJE66]

Strong riesling

 

[ericgereghty]

Fun aside: Dad (bless his heart, NOT a wine boy) poured a glass of the Torbreck for dinner instead of my mom’s usual (cheapest TJs red blend) option last night…and complained about the taste

 

[Omega Male]

Ridiculously good value for around $20.

Decanted for an hour and then had with dinner. Wife doesn’t enjoy the less fruit forward, more complex notes this has after a number of years cellared but I enjoyed it!

I know it has been discussed here before, but my forum search skills are rather abysmal, what are some of the glasses mentioned here that weren't Riedel? @NJE66 has one in particular that is wider at the bottom.

I have some Schott (Zwiesel?) Cab glasses. Plenty durable. I really want to try out Zieher glasses. Unsure if any here have experience, but those are some of the most striking glasses I’ve seen.
VERY on brand for KV here. Picked up a bottle of Little K and the Viognier at Costco earlier. Curious to give those a shot.

My wife opened this out of her stash so I had a glass. I’ve had this before and feel like there’s some added sugar in this wine…

I'm about go out for dinner but I get back to the subject tomorrow.

Meanwhile in Sweden

Really quite solid. Great bang for buck.

As always, I'm all about the Schott Zwiesel Triton. I like the Forte collection and the Claret/Cabernet glass is my universal. Maybe I should say, "The One Glass."
