That is tasty. Thank you Weygandt. Kind of like during Animal House when the bunny flies in the window and the young boy says "Thank you God." That is this rosé. — 9 years ago

Sadly a touch over the hill, but showing more in the pallette than in the nose. Thin on the back and mid, everything here is up front. What is there is delightful:-) would like to check up on another bottle, think there is some potential here... — 12 years ago

So, I came home yesterday and there was a package at the door. I wasn't expecting anything and looked at the sender. @Martin G Rivard ! Well then! I knew santa was over, but perhaps Easter Bunny Rivard had struck?
I opened the box with haste. Surely anything from @Martin G Rivard would be of high quality. I saw a flash of orange and though, oh my! But there was only one bottle and it was oddly shaped. This must be the limited edition, double magnum of @Jason Chang's Nine Suns cuvée! I ripped open as if it were Christmas and out came Carlo Rossi.
I'd never heard of this producer but I trusted Martin. This bottle came with a very handy pour handle at the top. I was excited. Although it was only 4pm, I remembered what @Bill Bender said about 3pm so, I thought to myself, why not?
Hurriedly, I came into the kitchen and got my favorite Zalto glass, as inspired first by @Roman Sukley. I retrieved my corkscrew and opened the knife only to discover that this was a convenient screw cap! How thoughtful of Martin!
Open it went and the room filled with a lovely sweet grape must. I knew this would be special. I grabbed my winestop given to me by @Ron R and inserted to to insure there would be not a drop wasted.
Into the glass and my excitement prevented any thought of a decant.
What a wine! Those Concord grapes - what has Welch's been thinking? They've missed out on one of the finest varietals I've ever encountered. I knew I was truly lucky to try this rare wine.
But something felt...off. And I realized, I had nothing to pair with this! Thankfully there was a full 4L in this bad boy. And the screw cap allowed for prompt resealing.
Away I went in the car. What oh what to have? Aih! Exactly! @Paul T told me about the heaven of pairing McNuggets. Off to Ol' McDonalds I went.
Twenty McNuggets and sweet and sour sauce please!
I scurried to the back, and carefully withdrew my Zalto from my backpack. Opening the McNuggets, I knew this would be special. And indeed, I am with words to describe the experience. Yet, again, I knew something just wasn't right. The wine wasn't presenting itself. So I thought, how can I classy this up? And then I remembered all of @David L's posts with the classy silver wine coaster.
I had to have one. I asked the chap at the counter of McDonalds, but the response I received was less than satisfactory. I had to solve this issue myself. Thankfully , while returning to my table, I spotted a HomeGoods store immediately next door. I ran across and found a lovely silver charger.
And finally, returning to my table, I was now all smiles! More smiles than @Mike R !
What a special evening. I really wanted to end this off right. I grabbed a dozen roses and rushed home to the wife. Half a bottle Rossi still intact!
I showed her the bottle and wow! You should have see her eyes. I then suggested we retire to the bedroom and this was met with prompt approval.
And with such a great night, I wanted a lovely memento. I gently placed the bottle against her and snapped a lovely shot that is sure to be on the cover of the next issue of BBB with @Bill Bender !
Thanks for thinking of me @Martin G Rivard ! — 8 years ago
Seductive #Wineporn 2001 Casa Lapostolle 'Clos Apalta' #ChileanWine. Blend of #Cabernet #Merlot #Carmenere. Even at 14 yrs, still a monster. Ripe black cherry, plum and fig dance around with baking spices, coffee and pepper. Long and lush texture that keeps going like an energizer bunny. #wine #sommelier #sommlife — 10 years ago

California Pinot noir, why have I ever drank anything else??? Full bodied and almost savory. Flavour stands up to astro high alcohol. Strong ripe plum and pluot. Hint of spice. — 10 years ago
