Augsburger Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 nice... seems that one could lay down for a long time as well I have a few stashed Mikey so I am having one per year of these to evaluate how well they age in the bottle. And yes this puppy could and would taste very nice in twelve years, if I can resist the temptation. I also have a case of the well received 2006 Cardinale which will sit for another five years before I start sampling.

Vieux Telegraphe “La Crau” Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2008 and Saint Gayan Rasteau Cotes-du-Rhone 2007. now having the remnants of a spooky cocktail: a blue raspberry halloween mix from Target, with fresh squeezed key lime, turbinado sugar, club soda and vodka. not terrible. Bday dinner sounds like it was nice. Spooky cocktail sounds creepy to me... killed another one of these with green curry chicken... too lazy to take another picture tonight Star Lane 2009 Sauv Blanc Good thing those were on sale.

shellylh Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Nice Greg, Mikey, Dan, Jacob, Al, and Mike. Cocktail hour! Mandarin Napoleon Sidecars with our very own lemons. Very nice and different from the Cointreau variety. I went to the store to get some Mandarine Napoleon and Creole and they were all out of both! Right now I am having some bourbon with my sweet vermouth. 1 oz Vya sweet vermouth 1 oz Blanton's bourbon 1 dash Fee Bros Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters I really like the Vya sweet vermouth. Drinking it straight, I like it more than the Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. Edited October 31, 2011 by shellylh
Augsburger Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 They don't put enough Cabernet in those Cardinale bottles, drinking the Pinot now.

Absorbine_Sr Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 I'll have to grab a Dreadnaught and have Debbie do a taste test between the two.
