A good friend brought out some fun bottles this weekend.

This bottle will be deeply missed once emptied. 

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

that should do it. one of my all time fave vintages. 
It was fantastic; a real one off for me. My dad was gifted it a good while ago and I finally convinced him to open it.

We also had a Cote Rotie on Christmas; '79 Guigal Brun et Blonde that was a goner 😞  Most have been solid, but this one was no bueno.  We went with a 2003 Ramos Pinto Duas Quintas Reserva that was quite special!  Was close to opening a Musar as well.  Oddly, no port over the weekend except for polishing of a Noval 10 tawny that opened a week or earlier.

Received a bottle over the summer as a gift. Just cracked it, really enjoying this. Nice caramel, vanilla and spice.

Irish Whiskey does not get its due.

That's must've been fun.

Indeed it was. I've never had a bad vintage of Clos Des Papes. This was my last bottle. I also had a 2010 and either an 07 or an 09... I can't remember that earliest vintage but they were all phenomenal👌

i have seen the 07 a number of times, probably more than more recent vintages. for me, as good as i have seen from them. definitely good fun. 09 pretty special as well.

Yeah it was actually the 07... out of sheer curiosity I found the old invoice 😄.  I just remember snagging it when the opportunity presented itself. Good stuff!

this was pretty exciting yesterday. from the famous massandra winery in crimea.

And?  I never had the white muscat, but have tried a few Massandra's.  The one's I have tried were fortified.

amazing stuff. apparently the Livadia was their prized vineyard. same as you, my experience was with their fortifieds. this was still extraordinarily fresh. quite pepperminty.
