It's Baseball & BBQ night. Go Giants! I Coravin'ed four wines to see which would pair better with pork ribs, pulled pork, seasoned baked beans & slaw. Started with the Pinot...that worked pretty well w/ the ribs but not necessarily the spicy beans. Then, the 07 Hope & Grace Malbec. That went ok. I think the H&G Malbec is perfect solo. Third...was the 09 Ridge Carignane. This was the more classic pairing...yum. However, the 05 DuMol Syrah was the real winner for all four of us. It's worked well with the beans spice and the BBQ sauce. Handled both worlds of strong spice in the beans and the sweet and light spice in the BBQ sauce. Fun experiment. — 9 years ago
Toro is my favorite spanish region. Its tempranillo blend, called Tinta de toro, is superb.
And along comes the Vega Sicilia family with their impeccable craftmanship. The result is a joyous, experience. Mature, and silky enough to carry the Vega Sicilia coat of arms on the cork, but lively enough to challenge the wandering palate. — 9 years ago
Color : Red
Wine estate : Château Saint-Georges
Designation : Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion
Name : Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion
Country : France
Vivino : 4/5
Note : We smell the aromas of red fruits wandering in the glass. Her blood-red robe comes with a powerful nose of spice, pepper and blackberries. On the palate, a balance and a delicacy with deep and long tannins for a final on copper, raspberries and prunes.

On sent les arômes de fruits rouges se balader dans le verre. Sa robe rouge sang s'accompagne d'un nez puissant d'épice, poivre et mûres. En bouche, un équilibre et une gourmandise avec des tannins profonds et long pour un final sur le cuivre, framboises et pruneaux. — 7 years ago

This is a great Splash to drink while wandering around the garden and watching the sunset. I would recommend it for anyone who's not very serious at the moment. I would buy more. — 9 years ago
My baby among the Giants tonight. Every time I open one of these 2011 tastes more like the #chateauneufdupape it was modeled after. — 9 years ago
Tasting for new Club Red at the Downs Club. Margaret River the home of the best budget and top shelf Cabernet blends. Good berry fruits with vanilla notes. — 10 years ago
This 2014 gem was the perfect start to the Mayacama comeback weekend. Ample fruit, acid, length...fighting, fencing, giants, true love! Things can only get better. — 8 years ago
Stonestreet Upper Barn 2012 at is Best. Tropical Fruit galore, good underlying acidity, yes just the right touch of oak! Also watching the Eagles Beat NY Giants on Thursday Night Football! WOW! #Eagles, #philly . Great end to a day of wine selling at WineWorks in Marlton NJ! I give this a solid 95! — 9 years ago
Skinny, lean & classy Syrah from the Swartlabd. Donovan Rall is a bloody genius. Dark & earthy with hints of truffle mixed with clean red berry fruit. LOVE — 9 years ago

This was a label pick... It wooed me in like a lady posing in an Amsterdam window... I loved it, oak, fun, playful on the back of the palate.... It reminded me of the first time I tasted a wispa bar..... The baroness was shocked that I selected a wine on looks alone... You can judge a wine by its cover.... This wine found me wandering through the library of O Briens - thank god it did@Delectablewine Delectablewine — 10 years ago
