Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

The results.

On my way!

careful - one of those bottles has my name on it

Is that because the input field only allows two digits?

Excellent response

I tried different Aussie Malbecs over the years and none really did it for me so I don’t have much of it in the cellar. The Wedouree however is magnificent! I’m sure it will last much longer but I think it’s in a great spot now, particularly after 6 hours in the decanter.

Like a combination of @VPS and @RooFlyer in the same bottle. Wine maker notes says it all.

So, gentle acidity and soft red fruits. Which is who are you suggesting @TheRealTMA ? Think carefully before you reply. .

But speaking of odd blends, or what I would regard as odd, this is this one I had in Cordoba. I was asking after Pedro Ximinez and the waiter suggested a ‘white one’.




Not really ‘Pedro’ is it?

So for the cheese (and what amazing cheese!) I selected the hundred percent stuff. Gloriously puce and treacley and so rich you have had to think about the next sip each time.






Then at the end the maître ‘d seeing my interest in Pedro Ximinez, apparently a favourite of his too, poured me a glass of it which he said was the top shelf stuff.

Interesting.

But neither that nor @TheRealTMA's wine indicate the proportion of riesling. Obviously small - but the question has to be, particularly in the case of yours, - why the bit of rizza?

Mine was 4% Riesling. They had bought it from the wine maker and told me the reason but after coughtails red wine and whiskey I don’t remember the answer but I will ask again.

I checked with my friend who bought the wine and apparently the Riesling was to lift the aromatics and some other reason that they have also forgotten

Since others haven't drunk anything nice in the last week, I'll have to take one for the team tonight

 

[cove]

That is a good plan @Daver6.
We will go to a lovely lunch tomorrow with something nice from the cellar.
