As is the NYE tradition, I picked up a nice champagne to share with the family. Unfortunately, my flu-like symptoms forced a delay of opening that bottle til next NYE when I see the family. So Mr. 2006 Taittinger Comptes de Champagne, we shall meet again. Have a good nap.
Let's get some wine pics going here!

I decanted it for 6 hours which let the tannins integrate pretty well but the real problem is the 85 Mondavi Reserve that I had after the Macdonald blew it out of the water. The Mondavi was a perfect bottle.
I think I could maybe justify the release price on Macdonald but not the aftermarket price of $300-500/bottle.
I don't have a picture of the bottle, but here is a visual representation of the 2012 Bordeaux table wine I had last weekend.
Got you there. Just not in style!
I had a 2012 Domaine Durand St. Joseph "Les Coteaux". I really good example of St. Joseph Syrah. Lots of black cherry and cedar with lots of blackberry, slight blueberry, raspberry, and herb de Provence. Needs about a 1.5 hour decant to come around. Pretty tasty for $25. Found it at Central Market.

Speaking of Syrah, I got some Gramercy Cellars in today. Ordered 2-Deuce 2013, and 2-Columbia Valley 2014. Haven't tried Gramercy before, so I hope it's good
Has anyone had Outpost cabs? Their cabs are being released on Tuesday, and I was tempted to try one. Curious if anyone has any thoughts.
Yes, great Howell mtn cab, try one to see if you like them, they have some high ends cabs that are allocated and are very good also. Thomas Rivers Brown is winemaker so you know the pedigree is there. Try their zin's too.
Thanks! I'm going to try the entry level cabaggiejumper said:

+1 on Outpost. If there is such a thing as QPR wine at that price point, they definitely fit the bill.
I love Howell Mountain wines!
The King's Row is quite excellent and drinking lovely. I like it as much as the Checkerboard, actually.nclawson said:

I just added in a few Texas wines after a trip to the hill country this weekend.
From Lewis:
2012 Newsom Cabernet Reserve
2013 Parr Tempranillo
2013 Texas Tempranillo
From Perissos:
2015 Brennan Malbec
2015 Estate Malbec
2015 Petit Syrah
The Brennan Malbec has the ability to be the winner of the group. It should drink well in another 5 years.

Did you make it by Inwood Estates? Honestly our Tempranillo is much richer (to my taste) than any other Tempranillo I've tasted - from anywhere.
Next time you're through on a Saturday, stop by and see me!
Just ordered 2016 Myriam Beckstoffer offerings. I have a problem.
I understand your addiction. 2 Elysium and two Dr. Crane's for me. On to the Rivers Marie offering.
Y'all have problems? I bought both and I don't even drink that much!!!
3 each...
His stable prices are refreshing...

My order goes in later this afternoon. Likely 2 of each

My wife and I were planning our spring trip while chilling out at Lewis. I wanted to crash in Fredericksburg and call in sick on Monday, but she wouldn't let me. Inwood will be the first stop on our spring tour!cecil77 said:Tumble Weed said:

Passed on Checkerboard. Just can't justify $325 and $375 for those. And with a minimum of 3.
