Stemmy = very high quality?

I get the $$$$=very high quality, but stemmy?

Or do I need coffee?


A wine can be stemmy (probably fermented with a large percentage of whole cluster to give that herbal characteristic) and still be high quality. Some wines pull of a touch of sage / bay leaf VERY well. It works great with Italian food, particularly with Nonna's old school home made gravy - known red sauce to the rest of you non-NJ/NY/Philly, non-Chicago natives. I don't mind a little in a Pinot, Sangiovese, or Nebbiolo if paired with the right dish.

Cheers!

I know, I know. In for 6 (2-2-2 Horseshoe) so I can stay in good standing. I'll probably have to store it in the attic, though!

No worries. Next time my wife and I migrate South, we'll have to work out a layover in the Carolinas.

Besides, I have a couple of dessert wines better than that.

Got 6 PN's, no Syrah - am a bit overstocked there.
I'll probably order 6 more in November from the new release.
It's all headed for the sleeping side to be revisited in 2021.

Good people to do business with. I do have a question into Leah concerning the Parker score on the new wine.

No, if you buy wine then your stay ends. You can restart another stay in the Moratorium the very next day if you wish.

It's sort of like those "ACCIDENT FREE FOR XXX DAYS" signs at work.... once there's an accident, you just start over the next day at 1.

Did you go to their sale on Saturday? Curious to know how that was, unable to attend in person.

I went (first time) and was impressed by the process. An eclectic mix, great if you are an avid bargain hunter but you need to understand what you are getting. Savings varied between 10% and 60% with no particular rationale other than creating a treasure hunt atmosphere.

Back in the 90's and early 2000's, Binny's in Chicago had better, but a more limited range of, deals

I love that.

I prefer the Bordeaux in the spring, so I bought a case there but will probably buy 4 bottles of their Rhone, 1 rose and 1 Chenin Blanc.
