Sparkling Shiraz.  So hard to find here. (Toronto)

Not quite in my glass, however this was a pretty cool gift. This whiskey was last produced in the late 60s. This particular bottle is about 60yo, handed down from father, to son (who doesn't drink) to me. And I drink!

With leftover Lasagna and a MOFOH Robusto Trinity tonight. Tannins very refined allowing the fruit to show. Amazing for a 25 year-old Cru Bourgeois - haven't yet touched the 2000 second or first growths.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Baked Potato and Zucchini. Paired with a Williams Selyem 2007 Bucher Vineyards Pinot Noir. Absolutely spectacular.

I bet that was a great bottle of wine having a few years of aging on it.

Family still here for the 4th celebration. Dinner tonight was sous vide Chuck Roast at 132 degrees F for 24 hours and then seared in garlic butter in cast iron. Served with a 2008 Chappellet Pritchard Hill. Amazing how dark purple and smooth the wine was at 17 years old.

Ever had a beautifully prepared steak, perfect sear, excellent side dish and when you bite into it, BLEAHHHH? Well this is what I have. It tastes like cheap burned steak. A very expensive, cheap burned steak.

“Finished” in half a dozen things, starting with awamori? You really should know better!

I was NOT thinking... and I agree 200% with you. Especially since the most recent purchase has been over 6 months ago, I was wanting to try something different. It'll be good for....gee... I really cannot think of anything!

Present from wife. Too sweet. Don't do it. No idea who her source was for this suggestion. But never again is she allowed to buy me booze. Now I got to drink it. Such first world problems...

After hearing about this one the Lounge Lizards podcast, I went looking for it at the local wine shops. Luckily they had it and had some 2020 bottles! This stuff is crazy good! @LizardGizmo and gang, thanks for turning me on to such a great wine!
