mostly wine stuff

The last Swedish Hill MF I had was around 2001 - I remember it as better than the bottle I had above.

My belief is founded on a bottle I had by a QC producer around the same time - but it was restaurant-supply only.

But, seriously, try diluting it with club soda as a summer drink.

Thanks, I will have to give that a try. It is better than other options. My wife wanted to pour it down the drain, but I would not let that happen.

Spritzers are an underrated summer drink.

The part that never fails to amaze me is the vast change in balance and mouth feel when a nigh-undrinkable wine is diluted.

A friend of mine likes to add Pellegrino Spring water.

Especially good for some of that homebrew stuff people bring, saying it tastes great! Grape juice!!

This will surprise those of you who have been paying attention over the years, but...

I've been known to go in the halfpipe when no one is looking.

Edna Valley TOTALLY underrated for Chardonnay!!!!! Back before a certain wine mega-conglomerate bought it, the brand "Edna Valley" Chardonnay was a raging bargain.

Talking of May and wine, who's got a Sardinian bottle or three for the Giro start?

Or at least a cheap domestic Sauv Blanc and a can of sardines?????

I goof around a lot here, but put your pencils down now, children, and pay attention. This is a drop-dead gorgeous wine that shows why famous terroir is famous. The fact that it only costs fifteen dollars makes it worth a special search. Lives in the shadow of its big brother, the Morgon Côte de Py, but this thing will make you swoon.

That's a great way of getting amazing wines on the cheap. Second wines from really good producers. Tasting thoughts, please? Pretty please?

so who carries it Tony?

Short answer: Where you are, I have no idea.

Alcohol distribution laws and practices in this country are absurdly arcane and variable from state to state. If you live in a state where buying wine online is legal - I don't - you can Google it, I guess.

Here in New England it's imported by Ideal Wines and Spirits of Medford, Mass. And distributed by ... whichever local middleman has the Ideal portfolio at the moment. On the west coast Burgaud may have a different importer ... or none.

Never was a fan of Macabeo and this confirms my thoughts

 

[cantunamunch]

Now this one is more better, though the acid is both sharp and late

OK this is coming to live at our side of the table and I'm not waiting for the calamari.
