50 great wines

OK so i missed it
LOL


51 bottles of Great wine

Probably why Beajoulais is so big in the states.. Disgusting stuff if you ask me

the biggest prob with a wine like that is you ned to have the storage facility for it

58f
75% humidty

and dont plan on drinking it for atleast 10 years

99 is a BBBBAAABBYYYYYYY

and Chateau Haut-Brion is one of the most respect houses in france

i thnk its popular for 2 reason

GOOD marketing

and its cheap

I drink it

ALL wines have their place and time

Thats good stuff chilled outside in the summer or on a picnic or bbq

I suppose it is all a matter of taste.. If I am hot and want to cool down I will usually just get a cheap aussie white wine some 7-up and go nuts with that.. But if it is red I would go with a cheap table wine, or une Vin de Table instead.. Just me though.. all a matter of taste.
Oh and ALL wines don't have a time and place, unless you can give me ONE good time or place for a Blush :D hehe, ugh..

As for a cellar. Will this do?

I wish it was in my house :) But alas, not until I build my house of my dreams would I invest in something like that..

If you got a chick that you want to fuck and she doesnt drink anything else

PERFECT time for a blush wine



:1orglaugh :Graucho :thumbsup

KILLER fucking celler btw

Im going to build my dream house Around the cellar design.

2 great quote from 2 wine lovers

Ernest Hemmingway

" A day without wine is like a day without sunshine"

My Uncle Tony...

" A day without wine should be Called Off"

too verry good solid vineyards from California

Clos du Bois is one of my everyday drinking wines

The sterling Merlot (depending on the vintage and vinyard produced from) can be a top notch wine

I don't know about you but I definitely wouldn't be able to get it up after a bottle of blush.. would be too focused on the bloody taste in my mouth..
Gah.. I remember liking that stuff as a kid, and then trying it later in life and making it through one sip before I dumped the bottle out..

yuck yuck and yuck.

sutter home makes a "blush" style wine

cant remember the name been years

but its actually quite crisp and clean and not to fruity at all

I stick to reds mostly and the ocasional Chard

Coppala Blue Label Merlot

Coppola RULES!!!!!

the vineyard is like 150 years old or somehting like that

was started by a fisherman in the 1800's

the Chateu is stunning

the grounds and perfection


and He has Upstairs all sorts of memerobila from the God father and other of his movies

Fancis has owned it since the 70's and has done a superb job bringing the wine to one of the best in the napa valley

How much do you have to spend to build a nice wine cellar? Not including the price of the wines, of course.

something like that will cost in the range of 25k-75k probably

and they might even throw in a case of wine for you

:Graucho

Blackstone Merlot

talk to MikeW..he just built one in his house
;-))

They did an AWESOME job as well

lucky bastard

:thumbsup

Hopefully closer to the 25k mark. I would think you could get something much nicer than what is in that picture for 75k.

its depends on if the shelvef are hand crafted or machine made

the type of wood

the amount of Prep need to airtight the room

ect ect ect

soo many variables for cellar constrution

My uncles cost him 22k and is no where near as nice as that one

But all the shelvef are hand carved cedar

simpley beautiful

97 cakebread cabernet

has to be 97!

I've been drinking too much wine to have a favorite.
Wines that I've had in the last month that stand out in my mind are all from cali.

the 95 shafer HSSLD I talked about in another thread, 96 opus, 97 cakebread, 96 heitz.

When I'm home, I like to pull a bottle out of the cellar @ 54-56 degrees and decant it for 1/2 hour or so letting it warm up a bit.

most unusual bottle I've had has been a 64 lafite. 64 was a shit year but has sentimental value so I've got a few bottles.
It was great! so thick and old but still held great taste. I've since opened a couple more bottles from other sources that have been vinager.:(

Rick all the trouble we have gotten into together and we have never drank any wine during or around these events...

I love good merlots, but am quite happy with Mondavi Coastal as my staple wine... buy it by the cases and drink it quite a bit.

I always default to it when out as well if no one is sure what they want, its a good idea until I get a bill for $260 ($20 in a wine store) in vegas for the bottle...lol

And I special order almost all the red organic wines our local shops can get in, think I have sampled around 20 different red organics as they come in (they sell out quite fast here as well).

Rick a wine night is in order next time we see each other... looks like enough of us here would be into it as well

You going to come to a show again?

Barolo :thumbsup

95 Caymus

:glugglug

Cakebread is by far one of my favourites.....

whitney

I agree :)

Went to a wedding there last year during harvest. It was OUTRAGEOUS. The wines are becoming more and more commercialy available as well which is nice for we East Coasters,

french ones. red ONLY. may be some white for salmon , fuckers?

Red and white. :glugglug

Portuguese Reds (Dao)
German Whites

I just bought a fine Amarone. Looking forward to drinking it. :thumbsup

Had a 92 Burgess Library at the Foundation Room in Vegas the other night. Can't say enough good things about it and the price wasn't too bad.

My all time second favorite is Kenwood Artist Series Cabernet -- 97, 96, 95 are all incredible at the moment.

Jarvis, Matanzas Creek, Jordan, Beringer Knights Valley Reserve and Estate rock too.

My absolute favorite of any I think I've ever had is the Diamond Creek Volcanic. Their Gravelly Meadow is great as well but the Volcanic is hands down the best. Next time you're in Phoenix head up to Sedona and have dinner at L'auberge, just about the only place guaranteed to have it --

I knew i had the hots for you other than just because you so smookkin

she has good tatse as well



:thumbsup

are u in Kiev?

how far of a drive is it from Odessa to Kiev?

i was thinking of visting there before i leave Ukraine

Wild Horse in Reidel glass. :thumbsup

Hmm

maybe i should put together a wine tasteing party at the vegas show

Nothing major just a couple hours of some good finger food and some varietals from around the world

make it invite only and keep the riff raff out



:thumbsup

Oh, you mean like the cigar and whiskey party at the florida show? I know a guy who crashed the party, grabbed some cigars and ran

My favorite whine is when I stick my dick on her ass and she gives out this feel good whine.
:thumbsup

Ill put some BIG guy at the door

No ONE gets my wine

some guys tried to STEAL wine from My party at my house at internext

I sent My french friend after them

and she is a BITCH

they left the wine AND the party

:1orglaugh :Graucho :thumbsup

Corona :winkwink: :glugglug

I got about 5 cases of various vintages of this laid down.
Truly superb and about $200 a bottle at the moment.

A nice liitle investment.


:thumbsup

My Personal Favorite is Mad Dog 20/20 Orange!!!

i made some wine from what looked like a Koolaid package once in an old 2 liter pop bottle in the firdge.........

an EXCELLENT investment

:thumbsup

I just sold a few bottles of Bordeaux '89 from a lower house or Rothchilds

bought it for 28.00 per bottle in '94 sold it for 65.00

:thumbsup

with hash browns I'm sure.

Actually I like it through a beer bong!!

I rarely drink. But there is one wine that I like. Chateau Elan Summer Wine - Peach and Muscadine. Yum
