white zin lovers beware..this is a wine drinkers wine..high in tannins , enough so to suck ones face inside out...and much bolder than most cali cabs..


PS i dont consider white wine drinkers as wine drinkers ..so plez stay out of this thread..


..no seriously..

[~flower~]

  I am not a wine drinker, but when I do drink it I never have red cause I don't like red.



   I don't care to be considered a wine drinker if it means I have to drink stuff that tastes yucky to me.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
Nothing compliments a good meal like a glass of red wine. Chiraz, Chiante and Merlot.....very nice.

Juni, which ones do you suggest that are available at shops?  The drier the better.


Also, you may want to order a bottle of Duckhorn Merlot.  I think you'd likey.

If you guys ever can try this red, it really is one of the nicest wines you can ever drink.

  Why is it in the fridge?

[Princess L]

I've got a bottle of '99 Chateau Briot Bordeaux and a bottle of '99 Mas Montel Cuvee Psalmodi.  Can anyone shed any light on what to expect? 

[powerpack]

  Why is it in the fridge?

I like my red chilled and that bottle had already been opened and was being savoured at a brisk pace 
Some like it at room temperature but not me 

[Butterbean]

word!

...and I don't know anything about those wines you asked about Princess...sorry!

I like my red chilled .........Some like it at room temperature but not me 

To me it makes the fruit come out too much if it's chilled.  But you should enjoy it how you like!

the 99 bordeaux should be great...as a rule bordeaux's age quick and then refine well..decant though..you can always check online for reviews..  www.winespectator.com i'm halfway thru half a Mr jackson merlot as we speaketh 

know nothing of the other one..

its suppoed to be slightly warmer than room..

i never send bad food back at a resturant..i just order more, of something  different
i tip exceedingly well ( ask Div)
i'm super nice to everyone


pet peevevs that make me walk straight out without paying and cuss out the manager as well

1) i ordered a 1995 clus dubois merlot in 2000...and the c unny brings me a kendall jackson recent vintage in a clus dubois bottle...fuck that..i'm no wineexpert at all but kendall jackson is my staple wine and i can tell a clus dubois and a jackson apart...and i can fiar at telling its age...i simply walked out after giving the manager a few choice words..

2) serve me cold red wine..i'm gonna send the bottle back and order a mixed drink instead..if the house insists on serving me a cold drink might as well get the drink right..


3) if i have leftovers.(sometimes i'll fill up on appetizers and leave my food untouched) pack my food for me..DO NOT bring me containers for me to do so at the table....if ya do..ya get a measly tip...enough to be insulting...cause i mean to be insulting..

I'm not sure why that irritates you so much    Unless it's just a hunk of meat and nothing else, I would prefer to package it myself.

Now... if a server asks "Do you need change?", they've automatically blown their tip.
