Feel my depression, CT brothers and sisters!

Fret not. FSP will occur at home in about three hours.

If the KJ Chard doesn't have enough residual sugar for you Marie's has Sweet and Low and other Aspartame derivatives on the table. Use sparingly Bakersfield.....as if it wasn't bad enough already???

Both very nice wines at an Italian BYOB for Friday night...

Also sipping a bit of 24 hr leftover 2011 Rotie Cellars Southern Blend which is pretty tasty.

Which if you go for white Bordeaux is a screaming QPR deal at a whopping $7

Or maybe something else!

Through the Proper, into the Dolinsek. The latter woke up grouchy, so it's a gradual process.

MuseDir, I have a Rasa Composer incoming next year and have enjoyed several Milbrandt Cabs. Go, Washington!

That said, I have a Mendo PN open and will continue with that tonight. Navarro Vineyards, 2011, may be the last of my 2011 bottles. Very consistent, decent QPR.

PN and WA Wine Cheers!

Okay ... I'll more than prime it. I'll fire the engine and rev it nice and loud.

I just got back from lunch with a co-worker. I smuggled a 375 of 1985 Leoville Barton into the restaurant and we ordered two glasses of plonk. Drained those and had a great lunch with a classic St. Julien!

Anyone else starting early?

at least 10 times.
Plymouth and Fever Tree here.
Oct is our craziest month, but we survived with many successes so we'll do some celebrating.
LARGE Ribeyes are on the kitchen counter.
Time to do some "digging" in the cellar.

Went with a Buty 2004 Beast Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon for the roast. Not at all disappointed.
