Yesterday, brought up two bottles from the wine cellar, JDusi’s 2017 Sly, and JDusi’s 2021 The Other Brother, now wife has to plan meals this week to complement them.
Took the better half out for a belated anniversary dinner at a local spot that is supposed to be all that! Well the bottle was much better than the food oh well
@hscottk@klezman@rjquillin
Thanks everyone! 33 years good Lord who would have thunk it when we make it back to chicago we will bring our best riesling for Leah!
@hscottk@klezman@rjquillin@ScottW58 A bit late to add my “Happy Anniversary!” (knee replacement has a way of messing with my schedule). 33 years is a good start – we just hit 48 (two days after I got my new knee)!
Good to be back home in SC, Shrimp Country…was a tough day on the beach watching them shrimpers, so went to my guy and grabbed a few, a little lemon garlic pasta
@kaolis@rjquillin
As you know retirement is a tough job and I am very happy to see you taking it seriously! Great setting great looking meal and how was that beauty of a bottle? Very jelly
2019 Casa Primicia Rioja Crianza. A souvenir of our trip to Maine last summer, where we get to shop in a Costco that sells alcohol, always a treat for us deprived New Yorkers. For $10, we figured it would be great mixed with lemon soda, but it turns out to be a very decent bottle on its own.
@rjquillin hanger rut is a-ok in my book, easy to do and you’re nailing it…never had EMH but they do take time if I recall chatter…love the grilled pineapple
@kaolis oh sure you get great shrimp and stone crab! I hope you’re happy with yourself! No worries on the green stuff as it’s properly placed on its own plate
The benefits or disbenefits of having a large and largely disorganized cellar.
Had this Macchia, Amador County Port style wine the other night at a birthday party. I had found it among my Ports, and since it was a 2005, I had no idea if it would be good…it was fabulous!
I also found 3 bottles of Maggio (2 2011 PS and a 2011 Merlot). At that same party, I cracked open one of the PS bottles, and it was horrible. It had some putrid odor that I couldn’t identify. Tonight, I opened the 2009 Merlot, and it is very good. Maggio is a Lodi winery selling inexpensive Lodi wine. It’s OK… But, I stashed these 3 bottles because my Uncle-in-law is named Maggio, and I intended to make the cute little fairy lights in the bottle for him, and finally got a round tuit.
Haven’t been doing much cooking lately (too damn hot) but drank a killer resiling and champagne the last couple days. Tomorrow doing a leg of lamb on the rotisserie so that will be fun.
@jmdavidson1
OMG, now I’ve got to see if I can find my '98s.
With a name like this, who’d have thunk.
CT locations from around then are sketchy at best.
Sunrise over Myrtle Beach
Party over here!
Gratuitous selfie
My blushing bride on our wedding day, 10 years ago, October 8, 2016.
Our happy place. We have been to at least a dozen unique Ruth’s Chris restaurants, in at least 6 different states.
2008 Robert Craig Howell Mountain Cab, purchased on the 2012 RPM Magical History Tour. Paired with Filet Mignon, garlic mashers, brussel sprouts and chocolate mousse cheesecake. Delicious!
We had a bottle of 2010 Wedding Cuvee at each table at our reception, and a 3L at our table. This one is our wedding year!
@chipgreen Happy Anniversary! We visited South Myrtle Beach for a week a number of years ago. They were dredging the ocean to “replenish” the eroded beaches. Many “beachcombers” walking the areas where the dredging was being deposited. We were told that the dredgers would hear cannonballs being pumped through the metal pipes. Remember enjoying a dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse for our anniversary dinner. We’ve also enjoyed those Mulderbosch Rosés on “lunch cruises” on our pontoon boat on Lake of the Ozarks for several years now.
@kaolis
Well happy anniversary to you guys too! She crab soup yum, Fripp island seaside simplicity, I knew you were simple man even with your high faluten wines and travel ha. You guys are killing me with all these pics of the ocean! Hope that hurricane doesn’t come your way. Is that the first Fingers crossed release?
@ScottW58@hscottk Thanks! First vintage for me, but several before, first one I cracked, haven’t had a red yet…was a pretty good match for both dishes…a tad of maybe heavy rain and breeze here anticipated is all. Y’all know where you live when there is a hurricane ready to hit and no one talking about landfall but if Georgia / Alabama will play as scheduled
A fun bottle of fizzy, dry Lambrusco. At a restaurant called Fuzi, no relation.
Excellent pork chop, with agridolce pears and risotto.
Spaghetti with duck sausage, etc.
Fun to support a local place with high ambitions.
@klezman@Mark_L@ScottW58 Used to have nice season tickets at the old Chicago Stadium, then the move to the United Center we got screwed on our seating… gave up the tix haven’t been to a game since not that I hold grudges
@chipgreen even with years of questionable storage (styro but in my old office with notoriously terrible a/c) this was great. Fairly evolved towards the late teenage years, lots of depth and density still and no lack of fruit.
@kaolis@klezman@ScottW58 I have many fond memories of watching the Blackhawks at the “Madhouse on Madison” (probably mid-70s through 80’s). Esposito, Bannerman, Belfour, Laramer, Doug Wilson, Magnuson, Secord, Bob Murray, Behn Wilson, “Charlie” Manson, and so many more. We would often get tickets from a “scalper” we found outside (“Tom, the ticket man” who always had a toothpick sticking out of his mouth), often around the blue line in the main section in the “drip line” of the balcony. And that theater organ with pipes in the ceiling over the ice…
Birthday dinner last night in Saugatuck, MI with extended family. Didn’t grab a pic prior to consumption-tenderloin, and salad. 2012 Virage Bourriquot. The last of earlier purchases, case pending from Vindependence day purchase. These have been so good!
Don’t get around here much, buy why not today? My wife made up some Fathead Pizza for me (crust made with grated mozarella, almond flour, cream cheese, egg, herbs) topped with sauce, more mozarella, peppers, onions, Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and more mozarella. One slice is enough for a meal (along with a side salad). Finished off a 2020 Scott Harvey Barbera Mountain Selection. (Still don’t get a lot of flavors, but really enjoy the changes across the palate.)
(This is on a 8.5" Corelle plate. The “serving surface” is a “table top” I made to go over my “knee replacement recliner” which has worked very well. The replacement has also gone very well – walking around the house without a cane on day 10, now on day 24.)
Brown rice and fennel roasted with onion never look like much on the plate, but who cares? And the Riesling is quite nice. Not detecting the funk one reviewer on CT mentioned.
Okay lots of bandwidth here, rented a house in Ojai for the family for a few birthdays. Last minute they cancelled on us because of high winds and possible power outages so they moved us to the Johnny Cash house a few miles away. Fun place! Packed a bunch of wines but dropped a mag of Brunello damn it but replaced with a long lost Jana cab. Anyways the pool is cool and the outside bar is stocked with hard liquor and good beer on tap lucky us
@chipgreen@klezman Yes, white. A recommendation at 750ml on Market at Pilgrim Square just east of Fairlawn CC. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Picpoul, and Picardan.
@ScottW58 wine is young and will benefit from some time duh but I’m old so popped it anyway…really delicious, lots of layers, kind of unique…I have maybe 2 cases, including a few bottles of Jasud and a couple bottles of chard, from '19 forward but this is only the second red I’ve opened, been a bit hesitant because they are all onesies and twosies, that’s how they are offered and that’s ok, but hell time to drink 'em anyway. Other one I had was '19 Vare which might be your '17 vineyard, think there was only two?
But it’s wild chanterelle time at Costco, and that Picpoul Blanc from Sue added the needed touch, but Pine Ridge Chnin/Vio went into the Bomba juice.
SWMBO did go a bit heavy on the greens garnish
@rjquillin unintended consequence of moving to Chicago, no chanterelles at Costco here. I guess I’ll save a couple hundred bucks, but damn those are good shrooms.
Last night had a Goodfellow Table Wine, NV, that was part of a mystery 6-er. Somebody on CT said 2/3 Cab Franc and 1/3 Pinot. I can’t verify that, but it was delicious with cheesy spätzle.
@kaolis@klezman
oooh taking a shot at me because I called him knucklehead… Or worse it’s okay I can take it but it’s a real shame befouling that beautiful dish with that nasty smelly weed! Lol
Made some air fried wings and a brilliant Syrah from Tidings! Clocked in at 12.8 abv really nice. Sadly they are not making any Syrah anymore. Cabs are fantastic tho.
Local sourdough pizza place that is also a brewery and winery. Sampled much of their wares. Pizza was great. Wine and beer were fine, but nothing special.
Yesterday, brought up two bottles from the wine cellar, JDusi’s 2017 Sly, and JDusi’s 2021 The Other Brother, now wife has to plan meals this week to complement them.
@winecaseaholic I was wondering what early bird already had an October bottle to report!
Took the better half out for a belated anniversary dinner at a local spot that is supposed to be all that! Well the bottle was much better than the food oh well
@ScottW58
Of course it was; it wasn’t a house wine!
@rjquillin @ScottW58 Happy Anniversary!
@hscottk @rjquillin @ScottW58 happy anniversary! We miss you guys
@hscottk @klezman @rjquillin
when we make it back to chicago we will bring our best riesling for Leah!
Thanks everyone! 33 years good Lord who would have thunk it
@hscottk @klezman @rjquillin @ScottW58 A bit late to add my “Happy Anniversary!” (knee replacement has a way of messing with my schedule). 33 years is a good start – we just hit 48 (two days after I got my new knee)!
@hscottk @klezman @Mark_L @rjquillin @ScottW58 Congrats! We’re 38 next week, and I’m not talking about years old ha!
@hscottk @kaolis @klezman @Mark_L @rjquillin @ScottW58
Happy Anniversary to you both!
10 years for us, also next week. But we have been together 29 years.
@chipgreen @hscottk @klezman @Mark_L @rjquillin @ScottW58 hey what’s the hurry right?
@chipgreen @hscottk @kaolis @klezman @Mark_L @rjquillin
Eh none of you look a day over 40! Me on the other hand
@chipgreen @hscottk @kaolis @klezman @Mark_L @ScottW58
Yet another late congrats; and it made me think.
While we’ve been together since '84, only married in '14, so now I guess a bit over 40 years here.
I had no idea…
2023 Tercero mourvèdre rose
The end of that Wm. Harrison Cab and a 2013 Wellington Syrah, Charlie Walker’s Corner
Good to be back home in SC, Shrimp Country…was a tough day on the beach watching them shrimpers, so went to my guy and grabbed a few, a little lemon garlic pasta
@kaolis clearly life can be challanging
@kaolis @rjquillin
As you know retirement is a tough job and I am very happy to see you taking it seriously! Great setting great looking meal and how was that beauty of a bottle? Very jelly
@kaolis Outstanding cuisine, big boy bottle. Enjoy.
Syrah heavy, really pretty good.
@msten I have liked those bottles a lot! Have not seen one in a while.
@msten @ScottW58 agree
2019 Casa Primicia Rioja Crianza. A souvenir of our trip to Maine last summer, where we get to shop in a Costco that sells alcohol, always a treat for us deprived New Yorkers. For $10, we figured it would be great mixed with lemon soda, but it turns out to be a very decent bottle on its own.
@InFrom
In Ohio, we can buy beer and wine at Costco, but no hard liquor.
Seems I’m hangaring in a rut lately; that EMH is still rather primary, or perhaps just in a dumb phase.
@rjquillin hanger rut is a-ok in my book, easy to do and you’re nailing it…never had EMH but they do take time if I recall chatter…love the grilled pineapple
yeah yeah lots of green stuff…fennel/cucumber/avocado
@kaolis That’s a beautiful salad, and Mr. Crabby looks pretty good too.
@kaolis oh sure you get great shrimp and stone crab! I hope you’re happy with yourself! No worries on the green stuff as it’s properly placed on its own plate
This is the second bottle of the vertical. Both have been very good. With a roster chicken.
@msten that was a really fun lab rat experience
@klezman @msten Wtso had a few vintages for a bit, almost grabbed some several times never did
With sirloin steak. Really nice.
@msten that’s a nice bottle

@FritzCat sweet on that TUIT,
I need to start collecting them
Had to get the picture of the Maggio.
Haven’t been doing much cooking lately (too damn hot) but drank a killer resiling and champagne the last couple days. Tomorrow doing a leg of lamb on the rotisserie so that will be fun.
2015 Easton Old Vine Zin, Rinaldi Vineyard
These are consistently excellent and age really well.
@jmdavidson1
OMG, now I’ve got to see if I can find my '98s.
With a name like this, who’d have thunk.
CT locations from around then are sketchy at best.
@rjquillin I think I got this one from Garagiste.
@jmdavidson1 Same here, $35
@jmdavidson1 @rjquillin
Prison wine!
Back in the saddle again! Leg of lamb on the rotisserie. And using half the coals
@ScottW58 Looks delicious!
@klezman @ScottW58 oh damn that looks awesome…soft spot for Spottswoode…and yes you have been in Hades your way, repent while you can!
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
Trying out the new oven with pizza. Damn, what a difference a high end oven makes.
2018 Under The Wire Bedrock Vineyard Zinfandel

@chipgreen Happy anniversary chip! Nice work. I will forever recognize those yellow beach umbrellas being at The Myrtle Beach shore
@chipgreen This is Casemates anniversary month! We’re cued up later this month. Enjoy the big 1-0!
@chipgreen @InFrom Cheers to a bunch more…
@chipgreen
Celebrate!
Thanks to all for the well-wishes!
@chipgreen Happy Anniversary to you both!
Damn I think I recall sharing Oct 8 with Mr Chip…
She crab, North Carolina brook trout, pork schnitzel
@kaolis
Well happy anniversary to you guys too! She crab soup yum, Fripp island seaside simplicity, I knew you were simple man even with your high faluten wines and travel ha. You guys are killing me with all these pics of the ocean! Hope that hurricane doesn’t come your way. Is that the first Fingers crossed release?
@kaolis Happy Anniversary!
@ScottW58 @hscottk Thanks! First vintage for me, but several before, first one I cracked, haven’t had a red yet…was a pretty good match for both dishes…a tad of maybe heavy rain and breeze here anticipated is all. Y’all know where you live when there is a hurricane ready to hit and no one talking about landfall but if Georgia / Alabama will play as scheduled
@kaolis
Happy Anniversary! Everything looks great!
@kaolis Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary to all y’all!
Pork chops and 2015 Domaine des Entrefaux Crozes-Hermitage. This is a great bottle from a garagiste mystery case.
@klezman sounds great, and I’m more than a bit challenged on bottles of rhone
Royer 548 Chardonnay and ‘19 Elkhorn Pinot with Maine lobsters (and clams,sausage, hotdogs, potatoes and onions).
Won’t knock your socks off but solid wine at $30…and a surprisingly tasty little tenderloin tail picked up at Harris Teeter
@kaolis nice! Damn I passed on that one on tso and I’m guessing none left.
@ScottW58 still available if you really want any, not sure if this link works
https://www.wtso.com/wine-search?terms=Faug#product_id=89858
@kaolis thanks got a couple, damn case club!
Some meat some grilled oysters and some gougère’s, a tough evening of cooking
@ScottW58 damn you were a busy boy… living under a rock never heard of the cheese puffs, all looks delish. And a damn nice bottle
@kaolis @ScottW58
Yeah, who knew? Also, love the oyster pan!
A fun bottle of fizzy, dry Lambrusco. At a restaurant called Fuzi, no relation.
Excellent pork chop, with agridolce pears and risotto.
Spaghetti with duck sausage, etc.
Fun to support a local place with high ambitions.
@InFrom fizzy fuzy… chop dish looks righteous
@InFrom @kaolis
Yes I think righteous is the right word here! And supporting the local business nice.
@InFrom
Yum!
Simple tonight, some Costco ribs, beans, potato salad, okra with 2006 McCrea Syrah Boushey Vineyard
2007 Victory with Wagyu rib steak from Costco and some fondant potatoes
And a Leafs win!
@klezman man everybody rockin’ it, that looks perfect
@klezman
Great work! And go Leafs well as long as they don’t beat my kings
@klezman @ScottW58 We Blackhawks fans continue to suffer.
@klezman
Looks great! How’s that Victory holding up?
@klezman @Mark_L @ScottW58 Used to have nice season tickets at the old Chicago Stadium, then the move to the United Center we got screwed on our seating… gave up the tix haven’t been to a game since not that I hold grudges
@chipgreen even with years of questionable storage (styro but in my old office with notoriously terrible a/c) this was great. Fairly evolved towards the late teenage years, lots of depth and density still and no lack of fruit.
@kaolis @Mark_L @ScottW58 was going to go next month to see the Leafs but I’m traveling for work.
@kaolis @klezman @ScottW58 I have many fond memories of watching the Blackhawks at the “Madhouse on Madison” (probably mid-70s through 80’s).

Let’s try this again…
@rjquillin
Nice looking sausages!
@chipgreen @rjquillin betting bottle was a nice match
@chipgreen @kaolis
Could have used a touch more acid; otherwise, yes.
@rjquillin good job Ron hope you like the mustard
@ScottW58 Yes, thanks
After a hard day of golf this beauty is just what the doctor ordered! Wish I could get more.
@ScottW58 somebody has to do it! Looks like a nice day, y’all cooling off a bit?
@kaolis yes thank god! It was downright freezing yesterday morning at 45 degrees.
Used in braising chuck roast, served with meal. Vindependence purchase. Nice wine.
[1]:
@msten I’ve popped one since delivery-they are nice.
Birthday dinner last night in Saugatuck, MI with extended family. Didn’t grab a pic prior to consumption-tenderloin, and salad. 2012 Virage Bourriquot. The last of earlier purchases, case pending from Vindependence day purchase. These have been so good!
@pjmartin Yeah, those Bourriquot bottles are good
@klezman @pjmartin HBD! Looks like a beautiful evening
@pjmartin
Happy belated Birthday!
A bunch of Winesmith Grenache just showed up today, so I think it’s time to open one I’ve had for a while. 2019, most likely.
2019 it is!
With Japanese pulled pork tacos.
Speaking of Grenache 22 Domaine Gramenon with some takeout tacos. Excellent
Don’t get around here much, buy why not today? My wife made up some Fathead Pizza for me (crust made with grated mozarella, almond flour, cream cheese, egg, herbs) topped with sauce, more mozarella, peppers, onions, Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and more mozarella. One slice is enough for a meal (along with a side salad). Finished off a 2020 Scott Harvey Barbera Mountain Selection.

Lamb chops, caesar salad, and 2013 Bedrock Wine Co. Mixed Blacks Weill a Way Vineyard
Drinking another Portland, ME Costco pickup from last summer. With fennel two ways with roasted salmon, another NYT winner.
Brown rice and fennel roasted with onion never look like much on the plate, but who cares? And the Riesling is quite nice. Not detecting the funk one reviewer on CT mentioned.
@InFrom nice!
@InFrom Fennel is one of the “secret ingredients“ in so many different recipes. Really pops in soups, salads and sides.
Okay lots of bandwidth here, rented a house in Ojai for the family for a few birthdays. Last minute they cancelled on us because of high winds and possible power outages so they moved us to the Johnny Cash house a few miles away. Fun place! Packed a bunch of wines but dropped a mag of Brunello damn it but replaced with a long lost Jana cab. Anyways the pool is cool and the outside bar is stocked with hard liquor and good beer on tap lucky us
@ScottW58 The Man in Black won’t allow any power outages!
@ScottW58 looks like a great consolation prize! Happy birthday to all!
@ScottW58
Wow, very nice!
@chipgreen @ScottW58 Very cool…gotta love that wanted poster
Something a little different, with fish(salmon) chowder.
@msten that the blanc? Does garagiste sell that one too? I’ve got several vintages of the red in the cellar.
@klezman @msten
Have never had a white CdP.
@chipgreen @klezman Yes, white. A recommendation at 750ml on Market at Pilgrim Square just east of Fairlawn CC. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Picpoul, and Picardan.
Rinse and repeat, more tenderloin tails, long day outside in great weather
@kaolis
Very nice! How was the Beta? I have a bottle a 17 but have not tried it yet.
@ScottW58 wine is young and will benefit from some time duh but I’m old so popped it anyway…really delicious, lots of layers, kind of unique…I have maybe 2 cases, including a few bottles of Jasud and a couple bottles of chard, from '19 forward but this is only the second red I’ve opened, been a bit hesitant because they are all onesies and twosies, that’s how they are offered and that’s ok, but hell time to drink 'em anyway. Other one I had was '19 Vare which might be your '17 vineyard, think there was only two?
Wedding wine from the bride’s home.
[1]:
@rjquillin that a calzone? Yum
@klezman Yup. sausage from just down the hill
@klezman @rjquillin looks tasty as heck…the vino, had to look that one up, sounds like a nice bottle
Tasty little wine, basically right off of the truck, nice casemates pickup
Still stuck in a bit of a rut with Campo skirts
But it’s wild chanterelle time at Costco, and that Picpoul Blanc from Sue added the needed touch, but Pine Ridge Chnin/Vio went into the Bomba juice.
SWMBO did go a bit heavy on the greens garnish
@rjquillin unintended consequence of moving to Chicago, no chanterelles at Costco here. I guess I’ll save a couple hundred bucks, but damn those are good shrooms.
@klezman @rjquillin Upside to the midwest you may find some good morel contacts
@klezman @rjquillin hanger rut, Campo rut…life is hard
Returned home to near freezing temps. But the wine selection here is better!
@hscottk sushi and bubbly are always a welcome combo!
Last night had a Goodfellow Table Wine, NV, that was part of a mystery 6-er. Somebody on CT said 2/3 Cab Franc and 1/3 Pinot. I can’t verify that, but it was delicious with cheesy spätzle.
veal/grits/yummy green stuff directly in contact with and on the plate
@kaolis Poking the bear, eh?
@kaolis @klezman
it’s okay I can take it but it’s a real shame befouling that beautiful dish with that nasty smelly weed! Lol
oooh taking a shot at me because I called him knucklehead… Or worse
@kaolis @klezman @ScottW58 I’d eat two of the three things on that plate (and the grits isn’t one of them).
@kaolis @klezman @Mark_L @ScottW58
yes, to all of the above.
More info on the protein needed…
@kaolis @klezman @Mark_L
then again taste is subjective!
Oof well since you’re taste has been compromised I will hold my tongue
@kaolis @klezman @ScottW58 For me, a lot has to do with the carbs.
thighs, local made mole negro paste base
@kaolis
Well damn that looks delicious!! Never had a Nalle before. And where the hell do I get a mole negro paste???
Last night at the Johnny Cash house nice sunset and bacon futures out by the pool
Tonight a easy fritata.
@ScottW58 dang!! and looks like you could’ve had a little pork milk…
@kaolis
Ha! I’m telling you ever since it’s been bacon this morning and bacon and sausage in the fritata!
Made some air fried wings and a brilliant Syrah from Tidings! Clocked in at 12.8 abv really nice. Sadly they are not making any Syrah anymore. Cabs are fantastic tho.
Local sourdough pizza place that is also a brewery and winery. Sampled much of their wares. Pizza was great. Wine and beer were fine, but nothing special.
@klezman Sounds like you’re adjusting to chi-life quite well. Congrats and (belated) welcome.
Tahini chocolate chip cookies. Wine>>cookies.
@msten I’ve had those kinds of cookie before…usually pretty good!
Chimay Bleue and some impossible burgers and roasted honeynut squash. No wine. This was easier.
2020 Sandlands Table Wine, Contra Costa County
Saw a shipping notice for the next round, so why not have one?
2013 Horse & Plow Carignane w/Cavatelli & meatballs
