Reserva Waterdog Setúbal Red Blend 2021

Red blend from Portugal, 70% Castelão, 30% Touriga Nacional. Varietals I have never heard of! Medium bodied, mild tannins. Presents tastes of blueberries, black current, spice, and mild raisin. Also, picking up tastes of a whole cluster wine. Enjoying the complexity in this bottle!

Shout out to Iowa Women's Basketball and Caitlin Clark! Go Hawkeyes!

Finest Vintage Port Blend 1977

Decanted 9 hours before service, sweet toffee, redfruits and spirit, sweet fruit on palate, nice balance, long, lingering finish, very fine vintage Porto, but doesn’t seem perfect, or close, any longer, merely wonderful. — 4 months ago

P.S. — Most importantly, we were able to source some Colston-Bassett Stilton (rather than other inferior Stilton in the market), which really upgrades the vintage Porto experience!!

Happy Holidays to all my Delectable friends!!

Tasted a new bottle last night. Agreed. 9.5. Will be hovering above for a few more decades to come.
