Love Fleur de Passion. You gents are on your game lately

Wife out of town and going halfie today (I don't trust halfie drinkers myself so not my proudest moment)

But compensate with a bloody great Saint-Joseph. This is as good as they come

Two bottle night yesterday and this was the second

**** me this is good. I just love grenache.

And I agree with these guys, the current production is one of the most undervalued wines anywhere. ($40)

Pretty sure I was singing their praises here a couple years ago.

Oh em gee. This was ******* incredible. This is a case buy if you can find it.

French wine from one of the CA guys - I may actually open one of the few CA bottles I have to reciprocate

Nothing like a good Spanish Mourvedre/Syrah blend. Well worth the $15. Paired with a SRF ribeye and it was spectacular...the steak that is. The wine was satisfying though and will buy again.

Just-past-nooner. I did not saber it and that’s not blood on the label.

Languedoc. Syrah, grenache, carignan.

A lot. And my drinking issues is still not under control so no worries there my man. Big Australian from last night with 15,5%. Also had a dolcetto from Piedmonte on monday (too hot for a heavy barolo after a 13km run)

but didn't posted since team US not really drink that grape

Clean label do over @jcman311 you fastidious ******.

English sparkling seriously underrated. Blanc denoirs. Fairly priced here as well at €40. More interesting then a lot of champers out there

 

[edmorel]

The English sparkling wine industry is really taking off and getting lots of love. What’s next, English BBQ?

Cinsault is underrated as a single varietal. Margerum makes a good one too and you inspired me to go get a bottle from the cellar and crack it!
