Today I received an email from AxR letting me know that they are being featured at a wine dinner in Phoenix on 4/23. We opened this tonight to verify whether or not we should attend. Last time this vintage crossed my lips was straight from the barrel, and it was delicious. Keep you posted.

Last September, we visited Alois Lageder Vineyard south of Bozen, italy. Highly recommend if in the area. 🍷

My last bottle of the ‘18.

I love Pride Mountain. The setting is just plain gorgeous. Having pizza later, figuring this will go nicely.

I assume all these wines are part of your official physical therapy/recuperation protocol?

Yes sir!

Pain relief…

Been a while since a good bottle. Went with the Chileans tonight. Clos Apart 2012. 66% Carmenère, 19% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very good, off the beaten path wine.

Picked up a few "reasonably priced" bottles at our local Costco for the Minister of War & Finance.

I'm not much of a wine guy, but she's got a *serious* lust for Pinots and associated reds.

Fixed it. It's sideways because it's too big. I reduced it to 1200X900 from 2133X1600.

Thanks. I just posted it and was enjoying the wine too much to bother with the correction!

Yes...Pride Mountain is an awesome place! I used to have a guy there that would give my family and our visiting friends and family tours there. He once bottled us a rose straight from the tank that they didn't offer to the public because he said it wasn't up to the winery's standards. Which is mind blowing because it was one of the best rose's I have ever had...they used to just give it to the workers as gift bottles. Finished products, I love their Merlot & Viognier the best

RickFLM4 · 04-21-2024, 06:14 PM

Enjoyed a bottle of 2019 The Bard from Realm Cellars along with a filet mignon today. First steak and wine since late January (dental issues) was very enjoyable.

Roman · 04-26-2024, 09:00 PM

Another (unknown) wine club bottle and another wine I'll be buying in the future. I recommend you do the same if you can.

Cheers, friends.

hubbahubba · 04-28-2024, 12:39 AM

A happy haul for today

Fugly M3 · 04-28-2024, 11:03 PM

At St. Elmo’s Steakhouse tonight in Indy. Driving with BMW next two days on the GP track. Had to have one of my faves.

hubbahubba · 04-29-2024, 06:36 PM

For tonight’s spaghetti and meatballs

hubbahubba · 05-04-2024, 04:18 PM

Going to Italy tonight with a tasty Cab Franc from the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. Pairing it with tequila shrimp over Spanish rice. Feeling multicultural.

hubbahubba · 05-07-2024, 08:21 PM

Wasn’t planning on anything tonight, but Mrs H said she could have some wine. Who am I to argue?
