needed something to open after drinking 2019 austin hope, just had a little last night so I'm not sure ift followed the wine all that well, will reserve judgement til tonight when I drink on it's own to be fair

bigbass250 commented:

5/23/21, 5:08 AM - no the Austin Hope was great what I was trying to say is that it's so full bodied that it might make others seem pale in comparison

2015 Tenuta Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 50th Anniversary Sangiovese

I know the 2015 vintage is supposed to be fabulous for brunello but this was very ordinary IMO

bigbass250 commented:

4/6/21, 4:03 PM - Perfectly valid thought, last nights dinner was not to our liking so certainly that would effect the wine taste though it was also my 3rd night drinking this bottle and for the most part it was unimpressive
Thanks for pointing the food part out though something I often neglect to consider

Had a coravin glass out of it last night, not sure as to what to make of it, my wife tasted and thought sour?

bigbass250 commented:

1/6/21, 4:52 PM - I used a coravin and then drank soon after as it's an expensive bottle and didn't want to crack the whole bottle, put it back in the cellar for at least another year, thanks for your input

2011 Tommaso Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend, Corvina

Just amazing

bigbass250 commented:

9/18/20, 7:12 AM - Does anyone have any suggestions on how to organize a wine cellar?
I started mine by style (ie:Amarone) and year from old to new but I'm quickly finding out that this doesn't give me room to add bottles and the styles have overlap as well
Just wondering what others do
Thanks

2008 Cayuse Syrah Armada Vineyard Walla Walla Valley

4/8/2020 - bigbass250 Likes this wine:

decanted and drank half, was at least drinkable unlike the 2007 I had recently, hoping when I finish tonight to be even better as many of the reviews have written
update 4/8 went to pick up decanter and it shattered in my hand opening a nice gash in my finger my wife wouldn't let me drink it so I'll have to wait til the next bottle to see if it changes after 24 hour decant

2009 Araujo Estate Syrah Eisele Vineyard Napa Valley

amazing night after Christmas needed it to cope with all the overtired grandkids

bigbass250 commented:

12/29/19, 4:52 PM - grandkids range in age from 2.5 to 16 so it was for their parents though in Italian tradition we give some of the little ones a shot glass sized portion with 1/4 inch of wine and the rest pelligrino, and yes nothing but the best for them pretty sure I'm not taking it with me

2015 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Le Volte Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend

having with the famous vinegar chicken my noni's recipe that my wife does a fabulous job with

bigbass250 commented:

12/7/19, 10:45 AM - OK here goes my translation from a heavily soiled 3x5 index card
Use bone in skin on chicken thighs
Heat oil of your choice (my wife uses sunflower)
Fry chicken pieces, adding seasoning while frying (oregano,rosemary,garlic, onion,salt,pepper)
After chicken is brown add 1/2 cup each ofvinegar and water, cover, cook until tender about 1 hour all together
