Warre's Bottle Aged Late Bottled Vintage Porto 2008


Midnight black hue with aromas of dense, crushed dried prunes, prune whip, juicy raisins, and tar

Palate--Mind blowing thick, silky, rich dense fruit loaded with minced meat, stewed prunes, espresso, and a finish that goes on and on with wheel barrows full of rich dark fruit.

I paid $36 for this LBV porto reluctantly and only did so because I had a $21 credit so this only cost me $16.  I love LBV porto for it's economy yet lush rich drinkability and affordability which is why I would never have spent this much on a such a wine.  That being said, it is far superior to many of the vintage ports I have bought for far more money than what this cost even if I had paid for it all. 

This is such a treat, such an experience, such a wondrous world of textured balanced, structured desert wine that I could swim in it.  OK lemme come to down to earth.  This is an awesome wine.  If you see this one, not one like it, but THIS one, get it and experience the best of port wine including the top ranked vintage ports and 203 times the price.  Wow, and wow again,  Need is say it?  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!

Cigar Box Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Hand Harvested) Dalle Valley Chile 2010

Bricking hue with aromas of spicy baked blackberry pie, and blueberry, with a touch of menthol and savory spices at the rim. Palate--Sturdy structured Cab with loads of mature dark berry fruit. It has an "OK" finish and it does linger for a good while! This isn't a complex Cab but the fact that it is as delicious as it is at 10 years old is a surprise and a treat! This sold for probably around $10 at its release so it is an outlier that it is still drinking so well.  Definitely at it's ultimate time but will hold for I would guess 2 years anyway. It is a testament of the quality of even inexpensive Chilean Cabernets which are among some of my favorites. It is doubtful that you will find this wine this old but if you do you want to snag it and enjoy.  Raise a glass!

M. Chevallier Brut (Cava)

Straw hue with aromas of gentle vanilla, lime, more vanilla, and citrus. Palate-- Fresh, clean, teensy pin prick bubbles, creamy texture, fresh clean finish that lingers a bit. If you want a great summer bubbly with no animals on the label, tastes like real wine than a manufactured wine beverage, this is a great summer choice. It's a Trader Joe's regular and runs $10.  Raise a glass, sit on your deck or pool side and enjoy!
