What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Gregg Axley]

None on hand.
I have another bottle of the same on my counter top.
It's a supply issue.
One store has everything you could imagine, up to $400 a bottle, but it's hard to get out of late in the afternoon.
Another one has a few wines I drink, but it's easy to get out of that time of day.
I went to the second one.

My Helen has been making Elderflower G&Ts. They are very refreshing after a long day at the office.

I noticed you go to the second one a lot.

Drink the Malbec tonight. I'll be over in about an hour.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Malbec tomorrow, from the first store.
I've really latched on to the Casillero Del Diablo brand, and they make a really good Malbec.
There are other brands I've favored in the past, but I can't remember them right now.
Must be the Guinness.
Actually I remember labels not names.
Once I make my choice I'll let you know.

I'm drinking Sidecars tonight and enjoying every sip.

Wow! Diablo is cheap. If it is good then it might be worth a try.

I had some Amontillado last night---I'd have to go out and look at the label to remember the brand.
You had to let it breath for about ten minutes to get the full round taste. Straight from the bottle to the glass told me it needed airing.

Did you use cognac or bourbon?

For the money I think it's really good.
But it gets some mixed reviews.
I haven't tried this, but the following Malbec gets a great review.

My trip to the store was cancelled today, so I'll drink the Cabernet/Syrah I have instead.
Until I get another CC, my funding is limited, and I don't think my wife will buy my wine.

Wine for Normal People. lol lol

I didn't even catch that.
Does it mean screw top wine?
2 wines I really like, although have a hard time finding here are:
Michael David 6th Sense Syrah
Belleruche Red by M. Chapoutier. A great winery, with a wonderful selection of organic wines.
I'm trying to get store number 1, the low to high end store, to buy more of this winery's products.
For $10-15 dollars, Belleruche is a great wine.
Like I said, I'd buy more expensive wines from this maker, but I can't find them locally.
And my state has some quirky things about shipping wine here.

Screw top?! No, too high class. Wine in a box.

Mogen David---Mad Dog 20/20?

Organic wines?! :hippie:

Mogen is probably Michael's less talented brother.
The one that can't grow grapes right, or ferment them properly.
I think Michael's winery is in California.

MD likely doesn't see a grape in production.

Hi

I'm on my second box of Franzia Fruity Red Sangria. Like a good wine conasewer, I sniffed the box before I purchased on that smeller new. Good stuff, and I think it was $13 for a 5 liter box.

I DID have a Templeton's Rye and a Talisker during the week too. I'm not much of a wino, but I like the better Scotches, Bourbons, and beers.

Later Y'all
