    Valdemar Inspiracion Maturana 2005 Rioja - Pours a deep, inky, purple with tinges of maroon around the edges.

    On the nose, this wine brings forward fresh, ripe, dark fruit, earth, leather and mineral notes.

    The palate opens up with plum, black cherry, char and iron. Alcohol heat is present but not overbearing. Acid structure is in wonderful balance and the tannins are gripping yet balanced. The finish is spice, mineral and earth.

    Given the structure of this wine, I'd expect to get another 5 years out of this bottle at an absolute minimum. This absolutely has not reached its peak, though is incredibly drinkable now.

    Gentleman Jack. Neat. Mostly because it came with cool glasses. But I'd do really like it....

    One cup of coffee and the rest of my day I only drink water.
    Why, you might ask?
    Simple, one day my father will need one of my kidneys and I prefer to keep them in tip top condition for him.

    You've already been tested for a match ? Well that's forward thinking. I'd give one up, but it will come "as is", Hey something is better than nothing. Egg Nog One of my favorite thing about the holidays.

    A Manhattan. Or was it three?

    No tasting notes but I was tasked with bringing beer/wine to my parents' house for Thanksgiving dinner. Dogfish Head Kvasir went well with apps, 2007 Paul Autard Chateauneuf du Pape with dinner, Goose Island Big John with dessert and finally a 2012 Domaine Dupont Cidre Reserve. Gotta say, not a bad night.

    Drank a schofferhofer for breakfast. Don't judge me! It had grapefruit in it so it must be a breakfast drinks right? And besides, I'm on vacation!

    I've been enjoying cranberry juice with vodka and squeeze of lime. For whatever reason, this just seems to be my "go-to" with a smoke this winter. It also takes the edge off shoveling inflicted pains after yesterday's storm.
