Another great value wine on my Funday. This wine is zesty and crisp, and very fruity. Grapefruit, lemon, and pear. Guessing this was aged in used oak. It pairs very well with the chicken I decimated on the grill 🔥.

This wine is helping me stain a table for my kiddo who's heading off to school 😢
But, it is an excellent wine! Good Lord it's very well made. Perfect today and will be perfect in 5 years. Ripe fruit, bit of leather, smooth tannins. A man's gotta believe in something, and I believe I'll buy more of this.

I don't know. This wine is good, and 2018 was very good for Napa. But, to me, this drinks like $30. Don't shoot! 🤞

I've been *trying* to lower my wine budget this year, and it's led me to some fun finds. This pinotage being a prime example, at under $20.
The nose is a massive smoke show with coffee, mint, and scorched earth. On the palette we have coffee, bacon, green herbs, orange peel, bubblegum (!), and tea leaves. There is so much going on here, I don't fully get it, but it's a fun ride. Would be best with food, although a steak would drown out a lot of these wild flavors.

Sweet heat. The 2024 is 136.1 proof, but Delectable didn't have that option. This one takes an ice cube.

A grocery store grab. I was expecting it to be "meh", but it's ok! Very light bodied, gentle fruit and muted spice. I'm quaffing it!

This is actually the new Eagle Rare 12 year, which is really dumb because a lot of Eagle Rare is released at 12 years. Marketing? Tarrifs? Either way, I had to buy it to maintain one of my contacts. I also scored a cool tequila aged in Elmer barrels, which I shall review this week.
This bourbon is great, as ER always is. It's my desert island, everyday sipper.

I like the graphics. It looks like the wallpaper in an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia in 1965. The wine is great, too. I'm sneaking a sip while I cook, and hoping there will be a sip left when I'm done cooking. You ever do that?
I won't break down the flavor profile; it just tastes like solid Sangiovese.
