Headhammer Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 A lot of discussion around beer, scotch and other potent potables, but we need a dedicated wine thread. I thought this would be a good place to share some recent wine finds. I've found that people have a hard time remembering great wines they've tried so I thought adding a picture of the label could help. Also it can serve as a repository to refer to when you are shopping for a wine. Anyway here goes. Wine: The Franc Winery: Consentino Vineyards Price: $15 A medium bodied red wine with a very silky texture and aromas and flavors of strawberry & violets. We really liked it with our steaks on the grill. Wine me up!

tony@CIC Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Now I can get into this thread. If you like a good Malbec try "1907". It generally runs around $16.

The blends tend to be not too dry and not too sweet and very full of fruit flavors. Search those out as an entre into the hobby.

Headhammer Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Wine: Sauvignon Blanc Winery: Kim Crawford Price: $15 While not my favorite Sauvignon Blanc, its bright flavors of lemon and grapefruit went well with grilled tuna steaks with a wasabi soy sauce and mashed cauliflower with horseradish. I tend to like much bigger bolder wines, but during the summer I really enjoy ice cold sauvignon blanc out on the patio.

Peaksy68 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Tahbilk Marsanne 2012. One of Australia's best value wines. Sells for around $14 Aus ( ~USD10) and will cellar well for 10+ years. Manages to be both crisp and fleshy at the same time. Develops a lovely honeyed note with bottle age. Went a treat with steamed mussels. One of the few wines that I buy more than a few of year in year out. Great as an everyday quaffed, but builds into something spectacular if given time. Cheap enough to cook with, but still a great drink.

Headhammer Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Anniversary dinner so we broke out a special bottle last night. This is one of our favorite wines, Washington state red blend that proves they can compete with Napa. Big, bold, fruity, oaky, yet a nice dry finish with a hint of anise. Went great with our coffee crusted filet mignons!

Peaksy68 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Benevelli Lange Nebbiolo 2012. Beautiful wine. Rose petal and liquorice root on the nose, more of the same on the palate with dark cherry. Finishes with ultra fine but still raspy (in a good way) tannins. Went a treat with home made pizza. A great introduction to how good Nebbiolo from Piedmont can be. If I had an unlimited budget for wine, Barolo and Barbaresco would pretty much be at the top of the list.

yungkory Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Was my mom's birthday tonight so I opened a bottle of one of her favorites, a 2013 Caymus 1858 Cab Lots of blackberry and plum notes, it needed a lot of time to open up though. Good thing I bought her a decanter for her bday, we got to test it out tonight Not so much a pop-and-pour, but it's a solid wine and went well with the ribeyes.

Peaksy68 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hoddles Creek Chardonnay 2014, a perennial favourite. White peach, oatmeal and melon. Length and subtle power. Leaner, modern Australian Chardonnay, barrel ferment character, but very little overt oak. Very age worthy, starting to flesh out, and will age well for at least 5 more years.

Headhammer Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Wine: Sonoma Coast Chardonnay Winery: Sonoma-Cutrer Price: $24.00 A decent chardonnay, but not nearly as good as their Russian River chardonnay. This one can't really decide if it wants to be a buttery oaky or a steely citrusy chardonnay, it sort of falls between those extremes leading to a confused palate.

SouthboundEventually Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 We know that Kirkland Signature golf balls generate a lot of talk among our friends, but how about the wines? I've become a big fan of Kirkland wines for "everyday" drinking and have found a few wonderful bargains. The Cotes du Rhone Villages for $6.49/bottle is my current favor value wine - don't scoff until you've tried it. :-) There's also a nice cab/merlot blend from the Columbia Valley for under $10. As with the golf balls, the inventory is usually limited. For the weekend, bring on the Amarone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH1980MN Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Kirkland Signature wines are really good- I brought a bottle to my Mom for dinner once and she put it aside, but I cracked it and poured her a glass- when I asked her, she figured maybe $20... It was the $10.99 bottle. Ha!
