Who here knows anything about wine?

[Eric Sedletzky]

I was up working for Rafanelli the last four days and he gave me these!
The zin is rated by some as the best in the valley, all estate grown, hillside so the berries are smaller with thicker skins meaning a very bold red and high sugar = high alcohol, aged 18 mo in new french oak barrels.
If Dry Creek Valley is touted as home to the best zins in the world then this bottle could be considered one of the best of the best. The cab is actually priced higher.
Our ocean conditions might suck and the water is cold, but the wine around here makes up for it.

Nice, you will enjoy, I wish I was paid in wine!

A beautiful pair. Enjoy

Zin sucks (imho - not to my taste). Dry Creek can do much better. Check out Unti or Porter Creek.

But my knowledge is dated as we stopped going there about 15 years ago. Ask me about Okanagan wines...

I do enjoy the Zins from California but generally lean to Malbec and Shiraz from Argentina, Chile, and Australia. That being said, I'll keep my eyes open for that one. Thanks for the tip.

Australians use it when cooking, sometimes it goes in the food.
Otherwise it's beer [good ale], good wine is wasted here [most of us don't move the wine drinking circles].
It's good in pasta dishes [I am told].

Ha! I have a high tolerance for bad alcohol but... A good wine with a good steak or pizza is nice and makes me appear way more sophisticated than the troglodyte I actually am. And weather the Aussies enjoy it or not, y'all do make some nice wine.

Cheers

My dad operates a winery, I wish he had a brewery.

I really like the Kirkland brand box wines......especially the Cab. Just remember that just when you think that "box" is empty, just remove the bladder and you'll get a whole additional glass out of it.... Plus, the bladders are totally robust and can have other uses....

Ok... so you know I have to really be getting bored and punchy from two years of COVID to post something like this... Part of my Armageddon, apocalypse prepper plan includes a healthy stash of vino....and believe it or not I actually really like the Kirkland Cab box wine. Comes in a 3LTR box...

wine is fine but liquor is quicker.
