The best Port wine — 8 years ago
This couldn't be anything but what it is. Amazing fruit, gracefully handled by @Angela Osborne - transformative new world Grenache. — 8 years ago
17% ABV! Osborne "Coquinero" Fino. Crazy tasty. More pure and clear than the smokier Fernando de Castilla Antique Fino (the only other Fino in its class). Unfortunately this isn't exported. 🙈👎 — 9 years ago

So this was one of those moments, where I have an opportunity to taste a wine that affects my perspective as a winemaker. It was such an honor to savor a 22 year old Rioja Tempranillo. My first thoughts were "Breathe it in. I'm in love..." 100% Tempranillo, aged for 4.5 yrs in all French Oak, bottled in May of 1999. Subtle oak, tea. Menthol on the finish. Smooth with such finesse. A little soy sauce. When those in Rioja say that they make Tempranillo that will live long, they aren't kidding! Special thanks to Rocio Osborne, 6th generation at #bodegasmontecillo for sharing this beautiful wine with Deb and I today. — 8 years ago
perplexing and deceptive in a good way. It's a very pretty clear ruby color in the glass superfine tannins, subdued earthiness and cut strawberries. @Angela Osborne rocks! Call this a Vosne Romanee Grenache? — 8 years ago
Not actually sure how old this wine is. It was in someone's cellar and forgotten about. Maybe 50-70 years of cellaring? Salt, yeast and fruit converted into creamy, mineral, tangy, waxiness. Almost similar to the way really old vintage champagne matures from bubble, fruit and freshness into dense, creamy, and complex wine. Pretty heady stuff. #nextlevelshit — 9 years ago

Drank this in the bullfighting ring in Ronda, Spain. The guy behind the bar said it was his favorite sherry. — 8 years ago
Forward cherry, raspberry, and the faintest hint of mint. On the palate you're getting tart cherry jam with a citrus, green apple pop of acidity. Finish isn't anything amazing, but the tannins will grip anything off a BBQ, especially with some spice. Very drinkable on its own as well. Solid value at less than $12 — 8 years ago
