4th Friday of the month means Classic Wine Storage happy hour! Great wines, as always, today!

At 16yrs young, this is still a baby. The baby fat has been shed, but there is still a layer of cocoa, dark chocolate and cranberry to get through. After that, leather, plums and gorgeous texture show up. Drink up! Still haven’t had an Insignia, but hopefully that will change soon!

This is really terrific and seems to be drinking at peak right now, at nearly 17 years old.

Excellent Joseph Phelps Wine. Still great after all these years as Paul Simon once said.
