Septima Malbec 2011

Aged garnet hue with slight bricking at the rim. Aromas of milk chocolate, cigar ash, dark berries.

Palate--Jammy first impression with lip smacking acidity and gorgeous silky tannins and berry fruit galore. Finishes with some finesse and more nice latent dark plum and tart raspberry fruit.

At the $10 price point this is a lovely surprise. This 9 year old Malbec is drinking deliciously when it should have been well gone by now. Grilled T-bone is on the grill and this will be prefect so raise a glass!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice. Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red. Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon. At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

We've moved!

I am a regular guy with a very limited wallet so I drink what you drink with rare exceptions. So scoot on over there, follow me if you want short, no non sense wine info. Raise a glass!

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!
