Chianti Sangiovese Blend 2018

Typical light Chianti. Fruity, quite a bit of acidity. Not bad! — 5 years ago

Blood Oath

Pact No. 5 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

Its # 5. A mix of 3 different Bourbons, a 13-year mahogany bourbon, un-apologetically peppery with shavings of dark chocolate. Two, an 11-year silky, wheated bourbon rich with vanilla and honey. And three, an 8-year find, finished in Caribbean rum barrels to impart orange, brown sugar and warm island spice. Every sip, an uncharted, sensory adventure. Blood Oath Pact 5 adds additional flavors with the Carribean Rum Cask Finish." — 7 years ago

Alpha Estate

Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2014

This is a new adventure for me and it didn’t disappoint. Black tea leaves, currant, and new leather up front. Lots of tightness, even after decanting for awhile. Dried plums, figs. The tanins are wonderfully balanced. Gotta get some more of this. — 7 years ago

Revana Family Vineyard

St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Revana used to be one of my favorites. This vintage is great! Lush flavorful and just plain spectacular. Too bad they changed winemaker. Been down hill ever sense. Oh well that's why Napa Valley is such an adventure 😎🍷 — 9 years ago

Château Pavie

Arômes de Pavie St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

This second wine is delightful but would benefit from more cellar age. A bit floral on the nose, the palette of dark fruit and fine tannins make for an interesting adventure for the consumer. — 3 years ago

Domaine Bechtold

Obere Hund Pinot Noir 2019

Earthy aromas and a little natural funk, the more powerful aromas do not match the more subtle flavors of earth and black fruits, with mild acidity and surprising tannins. Alsatian Adventure private tasting. — 4 years ago

Michel & Stéphane Ogier (d'Ampuis)

Le Temps est Venu Côtes du Rhône Grenache 2014

Had another bottle. Stéphane Ogier is one of Côte Rôtie’s most well-respected stars & looks for concentration in the vineyards and freshness in the cellars. "Le Temps est Venu, ‘the time has come’ for an adventure farther south, with old-vine Grenache and limestone slopes. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah that comes from the Plan de Dieu and Visan AOCs. Red fruit aromas and pepper spice notes. Sweet raspberry and cherry flavor adding herbs to the mix. Medium length ending with earthy notes. Nice value! — 8 years ago

Crémant de Loire Chenin Blanc

The adventure continues -- trying new wines this weekend. Pear, lemon notes on the front, orange citrus notes on the of back. Soft herbal note on the nose -- sage? Medium acid that trails off pretty quick. Nice wet clay & earthy tones from the lees — 9 years ago

Château Destieux

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Vacations that involve both cycling and wine are the absolute best. Already thinking of where to go in 2023.

Last night my neighbors shared this gem that they brought back from a recent Bordeaux wine and bike holiday. (Note to self to spend more time with the fun neighbors 😁).

The 2014 Château Destieux was super approachable after a short decant. Very ripe concentrated fruit, but not in a bad way. Complex with soft tannins. 14.5% ABV. Really a lovely bottle.

Rule #64 Remember to bring back a bottle (or bottles) while traveling. The subsequent stories about the adventure will pair perfectly with that wine.

Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2010

Yes, an aged Loire Romaratin. 12 years aged & intriguing: Dainty and fino like on back end, moderate acid & more floral than fruit. For 20$ a worthwhile adventure… — 4 years ago

A great grape to lay down and forget about, especially at the prices when new!

Vinhão 2018

So yummy! The first day we opened it, it was super funky - sour cherries and sausage?? It was also so silky and bubbly that first day. But after 2 days, it lots that weird meaty/farmy taste and became just a beautiful, rich, bright wine and didn’t lose its bubble :) ripe strawberries, cherries, rounded tannins. What an adventure! — 6 years ago

Sichel

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blend 2010

Drinking this is like coming back to an old girlfriend. There still a lot of the reasons there why you fell in love with her in the first place. Drinking it and exploring the taste you can get with fruit and cheese is always an adventure. Honey and caramelized peach flavors with not a cloying finish in sight. — 7 years ago
