What Wine Did You Drink Today #1? 2015-2020

We had an outstanding 2005 Rocca Napa Valley Syrah. It had such complexity to it.

Two weeks ago, we drove up the coast of Girona to see my parents and grand parents. Here is what we drank and had paired with the Champagne.

Back to craziness here with a “re-run” of another wave of Covid. Italy and Spain are waging war.

How was it? I’m cellaring 2004 magnums and haven’t tried it in a long while.

Celebrated a birthday dining outside No 9 Park in Boston with a bottle of Movia Puro, a Slovenian sparkler that is shipped undisgorged. They disgorged it tableside in a bucket of water, inverting the bottle and wrenching the cork off with something that looked a bit like a tire iron. Sitting on the lees that long it certainly had that toasty character - really a delightful wine. image

It was great. Lost a little fruit but still solid. Ridge wines are built to last.

You have more restraint than I can muster, cellaring a sv Rhys for that long. And a Chassagne-Montrachet warmup. Well played!

Hah - well that was back when I could afford them - Rhys has doubled their pinot prices since then so have have to ration my remaining stock.

Since March we’ve been having weekly dinners with our next door neighbors. We exchange meals over the fence then retreat to our respective dining rooms to connect via Zoom. Tonight was our turn to cook. Ridge 2008 Carmichael zin to accompany meatloaf, mashed potato and celery root, and salad of shredded beet, cabbage, carrot, and apple. After a 1-hour decant (on both sides of the fence) the Ridge was drinking beautifully. First sip elicited a “wine candy” comment from my SO.
