Is it okay to open a bottle of wine that’s been signed by the winemaker? And a legendary one at that? I hope so because leftovers demanded something good so I opened this 2012 Petite Verdot from Grgich Hills, signed by Miljenko “Mike” Grgich himself. This wine drank like a current vintage, so fresh and juicy and vibrant. Makes me wonder why I don’t drink more Petite Verdot .... ——————————————————- #grgichhills #grgich #petitverdot #2012vintage #redwine #redwinelover #petiteverdotlover #winetime #winetasting #winecountry #winetime #wineoclock #wineo #winegeek #winegeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/B5f--DOHFx0/?igshid=1k4wqqo0e082d

The tale of two 2012 Chardonnays. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. As we re-organize our wine cellar this week, I found two 2012 Chardonnays and thought it was a good time to open them up. We paired them with lamb, which many people will find strange, but I thought it was a very nice pairing. ————————————————- The first wine was 2012 Marimar “Acero” Chardonnay from Sonoma County. We were club members for several years, and still huge fans of this winery, so I was interested to see how the 2012 would hold up. The second wine was a Nottingham Cellars from Arroyo Seco in Monterey. The latter wine was very deep golden color, like apple juice, and on the nose was all mango and overripe apple. Wasn’t getting a lot of anything else and this was reinforced on the palate - all fruit juice and no acid to speak of. After 30-45 minutes some acid did materialize and the wine was drinkable but not great. By contrast, the Marimar from the same year, aged in 100% stainless steel, was still fresh, zippy, acidic, mineral-driven, with nice citrus and apple zestiness. I would not have guessed the wine was 7 years old. ———————————————— #chardonnay #2012vintage #whitewine #whitewinelover #sonomawine #winesofsonoma #chardonnaylovers #sonomacounty #sonomacountywine #visitsonomawinecountry #sonomawinecountry #winecountrylife #marimartorres #marimarwinery https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YAKc0HWvh/?igshid=14wwudhn8prxw

“Will age gracefully for up to one year.” - Goose Island /// How about 7 yrs?!? @gooseisland #BigJohn #ImperialStoutwCacaoNibs #2012Vintage - This held up well, considering that the brewery only recommended aging for up to 1yr. /// #beerconspiracy #Beerporn #beergeek #beer @instabeer #craftbeer https://www.instagram.com/p/BzayeaLFXaT/?igshid=rouf60lmlgl9

Name: 2012 Force Majeure Vineyards Ciel Du Cheval Vineyard Collaboration Series V Cabernet Sauvignon _________________ My Rating: 97 _________________ Price: $40 from @winebid, best available now $97.99 online __________________ Pours dark purple. Most amazing nose I’ve ever had the opportunity to smell - kirsch, licorice, leather, and earth all mesmerizing. This amazing mix of red fruit, leather, and tannins continues on the palate. This wine literally dances across your tongue with new world fruit, but a real depth of earth, leather and herbs that seem more old world in character. Wine of the year so far for me. Am definitely going to be on the lookout for more. _________________ #newworldwine #winebid #winetasting #dcwine #wine #winesofinstagram #instawine #redwine #winelover #redmountainwine #2012vintage #winewithfriends #winewithfamily #cielducheval #cielduchevalvineyard #forcemajeure (at Washington, District of Columbia)

Great wines last night @lupomarinodc . The brunello was solid with dark black fruit, leather and a long finish. ________ #italianwine #amarone #amaronedellavalpolicella #brunello #2010vintage #2012vintage #wine #winelover #redwine #winewithfriends (at Wharf DC)
