At home. Made tri-tip Santa Maria which includes coffee in the rub. Adan was home for Thanksgiving but rushed out before it was ready. Maybe later. Wonder if Bryson will like it though. #Optoutside

One of the best bangs for your buck around. Never disappointed with this wine, especially with a good artisan cheese plate. Very rustic and old world taste. The 10 yrs in oak really come through.

Good flavor, decently "full" but not overly powerful... good "middle". Touch of spice. Would buy again.
