So damn good and drinkable. Pure Pinot tasting.

Syrah and grenache, southern Rhône. Seriously good value.

Just so drinkable. Nice mocha and chocolate type notes, perfect level on tannins for a drinking wine, dark fruit.

F*** me, 16,5% and not for the faint hearted.

Did you do the Dooker Shake?

Epoch is a very feminine wine and we love it. The Garnacha is for tonight with homemade pizza. You can get on sale for $15 and I think it’s a great QPR.

Never heard of the Dooker shake before and missed that one. Thanks for the information though.

How was that garnacha?

 

[Piobaire]

It's from the Calatayud DO which is south of Rioja so hot, dry summers. Lacks the plushness of a New World garnacha but nice dark fruit/berries with fine tannins. Great food wine and a nice QPR.

It's been a few years but I've had that before. Central Otaga is making good juice.

Oi, I've been very abstemious lately!

(And, upon reflection, it's not for me.)

Speaking of which, I'm off the meds and back on the reds. This is excellent -- 2016 was such a good year in Napa.
