Good Wine

Today, May 25th is National Wine Day!  Drink up.   

I'm enjoying a bottle of Malbec

Late summer I had a problem with a Plum tree. Some invasive beetles were trying to eat it.  Harvested 16 pounds of fruit turned it into wine. Opened a bottle today. Very dry, great aroma. Needs to age for a while. I'll open another in about 6 months.  A new hobby for my semi-retirement, next is going to be Apple, then Grape.  

Are Grapes even used in those rotgut brands?
Or are they made with KoolAid and a little yeast?

How about 14 Hands FH?  Lol

jumpsteady, You will never see MD20/20 in the cellar, along with barefoot, 2 buck chuck, Boones farm, Thunderbird, Sutter Home, Yellow Tail,& Mogen David,         

I don't see MD 20-20 FH.
He He..

My wine cellar upgrade project.

Funny GTN.

My bud FH texted me the other day and shared he tasted a red and one of the notes was graphite.  FH educated me on that, as graphite was a new one for me.

The wine I showed in my earlier post had a mineral note to it, I really couldn't place it. It was flat/smooth, and a little earthy.  I looked it up on Vivino, and it was graphite, so funny!  

Literally learned that a couple of days ago, and boom, there it is!

Looks good Brent will have to try

Thought this was a nice red.

Fairly bold and dry, which are two of my favorite things in a cab!

Fruit forward too.  I liked this red quite a bit.

Gorgeous early eve on the front patio with the sun!

Sharing a bottle of Joel Gott with my bride.

Love it! Hope we get a few more days like this!

Bought this bottle bottle because I liked what it said lol!

I'd say a 3.5 or so...

Sitting on the front patio enjoying the afternoon sun with my wife. 

Be careful with that antler that is for winos.

Pour a glass of Red Wine tonight it’s National Red Wine Day.
