Ribeye delicious, Charvin delicious! But maybe a bit to light/elegant for the steak but when I found it I was determined to drink it no matter what I was going to cook
@rjquillin Rhys was spot on, youthful in fact. Lost a touch day two, tonight. Was a glass or so just put back in the fridge. Turned a bit acidic/sour but nice bottle
After a great morning of golf had some homemade Rocky road ice cream, played with the beast, made some ham and cheese hand pies and drank this nice bottle. Life is good!
After two days of services and a harried afternoon of cooking yesterday, relaxing with some leftovers, Great British Bake Off, and 2018 Sandlands Zinfandel.
2017 Vigilance Rose w/ 1/2 lb. Swiss cheeseburger. The wine was a little disjointed on PnP but improved quickly with some air time and was even better on Day 2.
Flying to London, so airplane wine. United apparently started serving a canned wine called Our Wine and a bubbly from Maker that’s made by Nicole from Ser. Should be interesting.
We were too hungry for pics…
Flannery Zabuton, sous vide and grill, white Anson Mills polenta concia (not at all heart friendly!) with chanterelle sauce, grilled pineapple and green beans, caprice salad with balsamic.
2008 Sojourn Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
2007 Tercero The Climb
Took a few bottles to Bears game yesterday. No pic 2010 Pride Reserve Cabernet. Lobster rolls, Morgan Ranch strip and ribeye, Italian beef, wings, cold smoked salmon, other misc food and beverage stuff. Caleb looked good.
@chipgreen@msten Not fancy, just upgraded chaos…ha! Bubbles and lobster for breakfast, was a great start. The cabs were all different animals. Schrader was dark and fruity tannins resolved a mouthful of To Kalon, an '11 with no troubles in my book, Bedrock earthier, more evolved, quite a bit of sediment, maybe more going on than the T6, the Pride somewhere between the two. The pinot never got a sip of. (you do get some sideways looks and a question or two when opening wine with an ah so and assorted wine paraphernalia)

@kaolis I asked our local farmstand guy how it is that he still has t’s. He said he plants in April, June and July. The one’s now are strictly from July. Also picked up some green one’s.
2018 Long Point Zinfandel
Finger Lakes…NY
Gary makes absolutely delicious wines from California grapes, as well as local Finger Lakes wines, Reislings, Cab Franc etc. He don’t get no respect 'round these parts because of the CA grapes.
However, his wines are fantastic. I’m a big fan of his latest Barbera…yummy!
If you have a chance to visit, do. We went last weekend. Tell Russ I said Hi.
Oh, and try the latest Reserve Zin!!!
Taco night
Winesmith Unicorn
Upchurch LTL Merlot
@msten day 2 Unicorn is singing with Shepherds Pie.
Charvin steak and fries/tots work for me
@ScottW58 Ribeye? Charvin tasty?
@kaolis
Ribeye delicious, Charvin delicious! But maybe a bit to light/elegant for the steak but when I found it I was determined to drink it no matter what I was going to cook
Now that I can taste again…
@klezman
That’s truly great to hear! I’m glad your senses are back. Or you’ve come back to your senses!
@kawichris650 @klezman yay!
@kaolis @kawichris650 it’s going in and out, but not up to full capacity. We’ll see what happens over the next few days.
Happy Wednesday!
@jmdavidson1
Missed out, frequently looked on BD, but never quite pulled the trigger…
@rjquillin This is Black Cat, not EMH Black Cat, which is on BD.
@jmdavidson1 @rjquillin Ah, I was confused too. Looks delish by the way
A little homemade Duroc pork fennel sausage burgers, sauteed peppers…catching end of summer maters and corn, kind of sad
@kaolis Looks tasty and those tomatoes, yumm!
Well this doesn’t look tasty but it was…pork tenderloin medallions, green peppercorn mustard sauce
@kaolis oh, yes it does. The Rhys was…?
@kaolis @rjquillin
Hell yeah it does! Eat it with your eyes closed might even taste better
@rjquillin Rhys was spot on, youthful in fact. Lost a touch day two, tonight. Was a glass or so just put back in the fridge. Turned a bit acidic/sour but nice bottle
@rjquillin @ScottW58 See no evil…

with skillet pizza, delicious (the wine)
After a great morning of golf had some homemade Rocky road ice cream, played with the beast, made some ham and cheese hand pies and drank this nice bottle. Life is good!
@ScottW58 looks like a great day!
@jmdavidson1 I’ve thought about getting that a couple times. Sounds like it might be worth it?
@klezman This one is very good. Told +1 that we’ll open one each month. Fun project.
After two days of services and a harried afternoon of cooking yesterday, relaxing with some leftovers, Great British Bake Off, and 2018 Sandlands Zinfandel.
I can now reveal tonight’s wine. I just posted the Lab Rat review.
Dinner was fondue. Dippers were sweet peppers, baby bella mushrooms, and garlic knots. It was absolutely delicious.
@kawichris650 Which was delicious, dinner, wine, both?
@jmdavidson1
The food and the wine.
2017 Vigilance Rose w/ 1/2 lb. Swiss cheeseburger. The wine was a little disjointed on PnP but improved quickly with some air time and was even better on Day 2.
Sometimes after dinner and a walk, a chocolate and a little Bogle Petite Sirah Port is appropriate.
@FritzCat
I need to start doing that. I have so many ports and dessert wines, and SWMBO will not drink them.
@chipgreen @FritzCat Then bring some to California or Toronto and let’s enjoy some together! Also, how can somebody not like those wines??
@chipgreen @FritzCat @klezman Sorry, I. I’m with Chip’s better half.
@davirom @FritzCat @klezman
No dark chocolates in the house, so had to settle for some homemade Cocoa Krispies treats.
@chipgreen @davirom @klezman Yum. I’ve got some old ~2000 late harvest zins. I hit one occasionally…some are good.
Flying to London, so airplane wine. United apparently started serving a canned wine called Our Wine and a bubbly from Maker that’s made by Nicole from Ser. Should be interesting.
And apparently they lied. Random $3 SB and CS. Meh.
@klezman Wrong service class…
@klezman
2009 Gary Farrell Pinot Noir w/ hot buttered cheesesteaks, roasted potatoes and unpictured green stuff.
@chipgreen Looks delicious. We just got an air fryer and made potatoes in it. Amazing.
@klezman
I parboiled these before roasting them in the oven but we do love our air fryer.
We were too hungry for pics…
Flannery Zabuton, sous vide and grill, white Anson Mills polenta concia (not at all heart friendly!) with chanterelle sauce, grilled pineapple and green beans, caprice salad with balsamic.

2007 Tercero The Climb
@rjquillin don’t think I’ve had the concia…hmmm
@kaolis quite tasty, assuming you like butter, cream and cheese and have no other issues
@kaolis @rjquillin I gotta put that recipe in my rotation. Thanks for surfacing it.
@jmdavidson1 @kaolis
https://electricbluefood.com/polenta-concia-chanterelle-sauce/
We used gorgonzola and asiago, with fine white from A-M
@kaolis @rjquillin The gorgonzola, asiago and chanterelles make this especially intriguing.
@kaolis @rjquillin Already thinking about this polenta, some fried green t’s and some type of chicken. Tbanks Ron.
@jmdavidson1 @kaolis @rjquillin I love chanterelle season at Costco…
Took a few bottles to Bears game yesterday. No pic 2010 Pride Reserve Cabernet. Lobster rolls, Morgan Ranch strip and ribeye, Italian beef, wings, cold smoked salmon, other misc food and beverage stuff. Caleb looked good.
@kaolis
Impressive lineup (and impressive performance by the Bears)! That is some fancy tailgating. How was the lobster roll w/champs pairing?
@kaolis those are a couple “big boy” wines. Good for you and your friends. Enjoy. WOTN?
@kaolis Da Bears! Nice menu. Lobster rolls fan.
@kaolis
Nice spread of everything, it’s good to enjoy life!

2019 Vintners Lawrence Estate Wines Cabernet Sauvignon. Tri tip.
@buffaloroam wait…have pics… how do I add photos!?

@kawichris650
@buffaloroam yum
@jmdavidson1 Sounds like a nice lighter-side meal, enjoy them maters…going going…
@kaolis I asked our local farmstand guy how it is that he still has t’s. He said he plants in April, June and July. The one’s now are strictly from July. Also picked up some green one’s.
@jmdavidson1 I buy and pick green or pink, they ripen nicely off the vine, or often do
The AFWE can just skip this…

With salmon and rice.
@msten full pull?
With smash burgers. Really nice.
@kawichris650 so, still good beyond the CT '23 drink-by date?
