This evening is the Sor Ugo. The bottle pictured is not the bottle I opened, but one signed by the owner of the vineyard. Saving that bottle for a long while.

Barefoot wine is underrated.

Merry Christmas everyone. Tonight’s selection is breathing for Santa’s arrival.
Edited to add that Santa was happy with our offering.

I received this from Mrs H today. It does a great job of aerating, but can become too top heavy and tilt, which causes the downspout to also point outside of the decanter’s mouth. Luckily I caught it quickly, and only lost a little wine. My son has a rather entertaining video. Moral of the story, if you get one of these, pour slowly.

Chianti in high heels. It's been a while since I actually had wine with a real cork. I had to view a "How to" video on YouTube.

Wow! I feel so much better now. Sorry you all had to hear that.

Found on bottom rack of my wine cooler. Vintage 1995 and praying that it’s still alive. It’s been properly stored save two moves. Have a 2017 Stags Leap as a backup for a quiet NY Eve dinner.

You’ll notice the handwritten 4 $$$$ signs. When the family visits I tell them to help themselves to any wine that has 2 $$ or less. Any 3 $$$ or more requires my written authorization 😎

Great system. How long have you been storing it?

I bought a case of ‘95 futures while touring the winery. I think it was $85/bottle way back then. One always overpays at the source. Don’t recall what year I actually received it but consumed the case (save this one)over about 10 years as I like to drink one per year or so to see how it matures. This one’s obviously quite mature.
My wife just told me we are having homemade clam chowder, salad and bread for NY Eve dinner. I gotta drink this wine with some meat so will do some ribeyes tomorrow.

Very cool. I hope it has aged well, and you’re a happy guy at the end of your meal! Looking forward to your report.

No chance of this one aging poorly, not giving it the chance! (Don’t worry, I have more. )

Mrs H reminded me it was New Years Eve, and the night was still young. Since we enjoyed the first bottle so much with dinner, we decided to compare it to a different vintage. Letting it breathe for a while yet, but I’m excited.
