Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Buzzard]

Still drinking this as I write.
WOW!! A $9.50 or so wine from the Fo, $26 cellar door.
Great mouth feel, nice tannins that scream cellar me and I'll reward you, magnificent Shiraz finish on the palate, rich and fruity. Gee I hope you all got some.

Love the Barringwood pinots.Especially sitting out on the deck on a sunny Sunday having lunch.

Lovely spot and good Pinot, the mill block is my preference

+1 Good stuff

I'm in a frontier-type town called Ely in far NE Minnesota. Dining options limited and standardised and the wine list at this joint is 4 whites and 4 reds.

I'm having fish (the famed local Walleye) again tonight, so chose the Bluemoon Oregon Riesling. Light is fading, but get the gorgeous blue bottle!

Contents are bearable and self-described as 'medium dry'. More medium than dry, I would say...

I should have added that the restaurants up here CLOSE at 9pm! I'm accustomed to restaurants that OPEN at 9 pm...

All good fun!

With what? Hot air?

Just refreshed supplies or our "house white" with the 2013 release.

Very nice, lots of limes, lemons, peach tones, acidity. Should cellar well, if they last that long without being consumed. Less buttery tones than the 2012s.

Cork broke while extracting it but the seal was sound. !

Can I suggest the following opener?
Great for old corks, and new

Go one better and get a Durand https://thedurand.com/

I've owned an ah-so and it is good. I've recently acquired a Durand...not had to put it to the test though.

With the way the Aussie dollar is going, I'd be lucky to get one for my 60th

MrsTMA said to me what do you wish for in life, and I said, I'd like a short blond. So she got one for me.

Like the look of that pizza. Home made? Hope you didn't keep the wine near the fire too long.
