The one's I have tried were fortified. amazing stuff. apparently the Livadia was their prized vineyard. same as you, my experience was with their fortifieds. this was still extraordinarily fresh. quite pepperminty.

Popular Post NapaNolan Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Posted March 8, 2022 Nice find for $21 at Costco. Infinitely more immediately drinkable and enjoyable than the 2017 Produttori I also bought there recently, though I'm sure the Produttori will be the better wine in 20 years. 5

Bill Hayes Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 A negroni my way with a sprinkle of instant espresso muddled with Angostura bitters and orange bitters and a slice of orange. Nice match with the Carlota Maduro thanks to the underlying coffee note. Cheers. 2
Popular Post Shrimpchips Posted April 10, 2022 Popular Post Posted April 10, 2022 Realized I haven’t bought a sherry cask finished scotch in some time. Rectified that with a Glen Dronach Revival 15. Should have paired with a VR or RA. Quite liking Revival. Any recommendations for a next bottle? 5

I am certainly more knowledgeable about red wine than Champagne. Everyone enjoyed it and found it a step up from a lot of others ones we’ve had. The truth is I was looking for something more known like Dom but the selection of Champagne’s here right now is very limited. My daughter is a music teacher so I though the Stradivarius was appropriate for the occasion.

I have avoided as well. Seems to gimmicky to take seriously. Plus, I have seen some heavy discounting of their wines that lead me to fortify my opinion.
Bill Hayes Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 Trying to broaden my wine experiences into Europe, which I know little about. Late Autumn chill suggests Northern Rhone might be ideal. Always thought this would be my go-to region. Here's my first introduction. A cheapie but nice all rounder. Enjoyed a Southern Rhone 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Moudervourerdhowdoyouspellit yesterday which I thoroughly enjoyed too. Ha ha! Cheers. This one I thought a little thin but I just had a cigar and a stout. Very rounded for a 2019. 2

It was very nice but of course it would never live up to the cost and I got a great deal on it. I always wanted to try a well aged First Growth Bordeaux. Now I have, lol. Good stuff really! 1
