Simply...The Wine Thread

[Harley Limited]

I had a wine tasting party. Bought 5 Cabs, all California, mostly 2007, and with 5 judges on a blind taste experience. Here is a picture of the 5 wines. The BV Georges de la Tour won by a wide margin.

Thanks for the kind words about my Wife... She has the combination I was looking for in a Soulmate; Sexy/Cute, Very Intelligent, Great Sense of Humor and puts up with me.

Heading up to Healdsburg tomorrow to spend a couple nights for Mother's Day and my wife's birthday (Tuesday). Bringing the kids but still planning on taking a tour of Pride Mountain Vineyards. Will be pretty low-key with the kiddos in tow, but still looking forward to a relaxing couple of days away from the city.

Cheers everyone!

Let's figure this out:
Nice bottle for sure for a Saturday night home steak dinner

Salad could be yellow tomato or yellow peppers not sure from pic
Feta cheese, very white for Feta, could be a trick picture !
Maybe some spinach and or Arugula with possible butter head lettuce

Nice red potatoes with garlic and butter and parsley

And has to be Rib-eye due to how juicy that looks and the right side looks split unless you put in some butter and then I'd say filet. But sticking to Rib-eye

EDIT: not sitting very long because not much steak drippings on the plate unless you sat it on a another to rest then moved to dinner plate so medium rare cause it's so plump but could be just medium


What do you say Roger ?

Hey Mark, no it was not me. I wish I owned Phil's BBQ, because it is always packed and the food is very good. I'm around but been busy. A 10 month old girl running around the house keeps me on my toes.

Hope you're doing well, my friend!

Good eye, although the salad was tough to see since it wasn't a closeup. Roasted yellow beets with goat cheese and apples on the mixed baby greens salad with radish slivers and a citrus vinaigrette.

Correct on the red potatoes with garlic and parsley.

The steak was a medium rare filet seasoned with just salt and pepper before grilling - rested on another plate for about 10 minutes (good eye).

The Stag's Leap Artemis was a nod to my father-in-law as his paint horse guest ranch in Kalispell, MT is called Artemis Acres.

If you are a griller, PM me your address and I'll send you some of our homemade dry rub that we use as a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I have some on the pork shoulders on the smoker right now. Great on chicken, pork and shrimp as well.

Looking great.
For years,I have been looking for a mutual friend with a former Stags Leap winemaker.
Nikki Pruss DPM. A fellow podiatrist was their winemaker for a while.
I have been trying to find a common link in a small profession for a long time.

Very good bottle,and it looks like you had a great meal!

[Baco Noir]

@G8RDPM - yes, it was delicious and a big wine like that pairs so well with a steak. We really enjoyed it, especially on the patio with the waterfall - just getting started with outside dinners here in Colorado.

[Rock]

A wonderful old label from the Pokolbin area of the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
One of the early wines I drank as a 20 yo wine aficionado in the mid '70s.
Lots of backbone and intensity and would reward a bit longer in the cellar.

Some nice wine at Von's. the shelf was empty... I'm going back to see if they stocked up yet.

Papapietro-Perry Pinot Noir. They are another serious Pinot Noir producer that uses Nunes Vineyard fruit.

[G8RDPM]

Humm, something seems fishy here and I don't think it's their seafood market. The retail on the Silver Oak Alexander and Napa Valley ones are $75 & $125, respectively.

[wantonebad]

Finally got the timing right...

[theloxmyth]

G, WHAT DID YOU START...With the Melbecs! LOL

This one is better, in my opinion, than this other.

I think they put the highest resale price on the market for the retail price and then you still see a better deal on the single bottle and 6-bottle sale price. Just trying to make the consumer feel like they are getting Great deal rather than a Good deal. The year could make a difference but did not see it as the shelves were empty.

[BNA/LION]

A little Buttery Oaky Chardonnay tonight.

[incontrol]

This was an excellent chard!

Sorry, the bottle was already sent to the recycling bin. Lol!
