For tonight. Good stuff.

hubbahubba · 12-14-2023, 02:29 PM

Just when I thought I was done receiving wine, my Stags’ Leap club shipment came. I changed it a bit from what they wanted to send me. I received 3- The Investor (love this wine), 1- Yountville Cab, and 1- Oakville Cab. I’m sure these will be nice also. They also included a nicely bound logo’d notebook. Now that’s really it! No more pending orders!

Received this as a gift today.

This evening is the Sor Ugo. The bottle pictured is not the bottle I opened, but one signed by the owner of the vineyard. Saving that bottle for a long while.

hubbahubba · 12-21-2023, 04:27 PM

Catching up on a few. All were great.

Donatello. · 12-21-2023, 09:19 PM

Barefoot wine is underrated.

hubbahubba · 12-24-2023, 06:00 PM

Merry Christmas everyone. Tonight’s selection is breathing for Santa’s arrival.
Edited to add that Santa was happy with our offering.

hubbahubba · 12-25-2023, 03:22 PM

I received this from Mrs H today. It does a great job of aerating, but can become too top heavy and tilt, which causes the downspout to also point outside of the decanter’s mouth. Luckily I caught it quickly, and only lost a little wine. My son has a rather entertaining video.

Moral of the story, if you get one of these, pour slowly.

Lady Jane · 12-25-2023, 04:41 PM

Chianti in high heels. It's been a while since I actually had wine with a real cork. I had to view a "How to" video on YouTube.

I have to get something off my chest.

2013 was great year!

Wow! I feel so much better now. Sorry you all had to hear that.

hubbahubba · 12-31-2023, 10:40 AM

From last night. Quite tasty.

LDT · 12-31-2023, 01:29 PM

Found on bottom rack of my wine cooler. Vintage 1995 and praying that it’s still alive. It’s been properly stored save two moves. Have a 2017 Stags Leap as a backup for a quiet NY Eve dinner.

hubbahubba · 12-31-2023, 01:34 PM

LDT I hope so, what a find!

You’ll notice the handwritten 4 $$$$ signs. When the family visits I tell them to help themselves to any wine that has 2 $$ or less. Any 3 $$$ or more requires my written authorization 😎

Great system.

How long have you been storing it?

I bought a case of ‘95 futures while touring the winery. I think it was $85/bottle way back then. One always overpays at the source. Don’t recall what year I actually received it but consumed the case (save this one)over about 10 years as I like to drink one per year or so to see how it matures. This one’s obviously quite mature.
My wife just told me we are having homemade clam chowder, salad and bread for NY Eve dinner. I gotta drink this wine with some meat so will do some ribeyes tomorrow.

Very cool. I hope it has aged well, and you’re a happy guy at the end of your meal! Looking forward to your report.

hubbahubba · 12-31-2023, 02:40 PM

No chance of this one aging poorly, not giving it the chance!

(Don’t worry, I have more.
