Did you really drink this at a car wash?@Doug Powers

@Peter Sultan, of course not, but Delectable (like UnTappd, the beer app I also use) has very limited “venue” apps, so, like my buddy @Severn Goodwin, who once checked in a wine at a Canadian toll booth, we all look for funny venues!! On UnTappd, I was able to create a custom venue that I use, but have never figured out how to do so on Delectable?!?!

Oh shoot, I was really starting to enjoy the image of Delectable-ites toasting with their Chinon while watching as their car gets scrubbed. All kidding aside, there was a shift on Delectable several years back I noticed when it became impossible to locate myself ( though w restaurants it works well); apparently my closest drinking venue is the synagogue across the street!@Doug Powers

Franc de Pied Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2017

Beautiful. From legendary Thierry Germain. Ungrafted rootstocks planted on sandy topsoil. 12,5% abv. Dense yet weightless. Like ballerina performing a physically demanding solo yet evoking a sense of lightness and grace on the edge of your tongue. High acidity, soft chalky-type (drying) tannins, but juicy. — a month ago

Clos de L'Échelier Dampierre Sur Loire Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2021

Beautiful color of deep ruby and it looks thick and unctuous in the glass. Prominent spices on the nose- clove, bay leaves and fresh red fruits touch of Brett in a pleasant way. Spices carry through to the tongue. Good weight and body. Fine tannins. I'm glad this wasn't blended. It's a great expression of Cab Franc. — 7 months ago
