Thanks to @Bill Bender for this one. Getting the primi off to a good start. This is a Chardonnay that wants to be a White Rhone! 🙂😋 Happy TG to all my wine friends! — 10 years ago

This was absolutely perfect with some butternut squash cream soup. Mother in law wasn't invited. 😈

Is it beer or is it espresso? Great nutty beer from Surly in Minnesota. Sometimes you just need to go on a bender....sorry about MSU Jim — 10 years ago

Dajoar Mosel Reisling 2012

9.0

Medium lemon colour. Nice intensity nose showing aromas of ripe green apple, peaches, lemon peel, honeysuckle and hints of honey.

Sweet in the mouth with a high zesty and refreshing acidity well-balanced by loads of fruit concentration and the residual sugar. Lingering citrusy finish. Quite nice and beginning to develop tertiary aromas, but it could be more complex, maybe in a few years more.

Epoch Estate Wines

Estate Blend Red Rhone Blend 2012

Tuesday night. Big Blackhawks game. Although I would prefer a bottle of Imposter McCoy as suggested by @Bill Bender & @Dag Zapatero, alas, I will have to settle for some Epoch with my leftover pizza. Go Hawks! We need this one. — 10 years ago

I'm going to check it out tomorrow and I think I'll open a Quella. I've never had one and they've been sleeping in the cold too long!

Never noticed it. I was too busy looking at Dag's date.
