winchester21 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just opened a bottle of L'bivez Syrah- Mendocino Cunty -CA 2006 This was a big boy that hit the closeout list recently. I bought 2 cases. At 18 bucks it rocks. The bad economy is a wine drinkers gold mine. I hate it for the producers and employees. But while it lasts ,I am drinking 40 and 50 dollar bottles for half price or less. This Syrah is drinking great!!!! At 13.7% alcohol there is some ripe juicy fruit but plenty of structure on the backside. Not at all flabby. Definitely a buy. My beer, Vodka, and Burbon is still screaming retail- We need a govt bailout!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Tonight- green tea, brewed with water just a bit under boiling. Would prefer some good scotch, but it isn't the weekend yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winchester21 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Scotch is definitely a weekend pastime with a good cuban. Make mine 15 yr Balvinnie -16 yr Lagavulen(cant spell) or12 yr old unchillfiltered Coila. Springbank also gets an honorable mention in multiple varieties. If you worked here I work - you would drink during the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT FAN Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Last night a bottle of Marietta Old Vine Red Lot # 46, served with some Beef Bourguignon that I had made over the weekend. A tasty red zinfandel blend with Petite Sirah and smaller amounts of Cabernet etc. Sometimes referred to as a "field blend." An excellent match with spicy bbq such as ribs, it is a soft full red wine that won't conflict with bbq sauce. Good for folks who don't like the tannic aspect (the drying, tea like quality) of red wines. Marietta is a respected winery and this is their introductory level wine. Available for around $12 a bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
