AvingLuving
Muscadet kinda day
>>21621822Based
>>21621822might be txakolina for me
I don’t think I like viognier
>>21622213Def not something I drink much of
>>21618974Where my Vermentino Chads at?
>>21622311present, got a SLO Coast Vermentino I plan on opening at some point this weekend.
>>21618974Don't care for Bordeaux. Only drink Burgundy or Rhone.What does /vin/ think?
>>21622749Is picrel how you view yourself?
>>21622777No
>>21622749>Rhone*Rhône
>>21622883I'm aware. Didn't think that was necessary
Syrah time
>>21622749I think young bordeaux is too austere and kinda shitty, especially compared to young rhone or young burgundy--for both white and red--well aged bordeaux can fucking sing as good as any wine out there and it ages so so soooo well in good vintages and even "off vintage" bordeaux starts punching well above its price tag with 10 years of age on it.
>>21618974You're thoughts on This?
>>21623385this is one of the wines of all time
>>21623370pic rel
>>21623385If you want cheap ass Chardonnay, picrel was $15.
>>21622749>Only drink Burgundy>What does /vin/ thinkyou must be rich.
>>21623385Don't sweat this just drink what tastes good to you. Also snobs look down on it, so there's that. I used to like it, I'm not such a fan anymore. But that was decades ago, preferences change over time. The wine may have changed too but it was probably more a me issue.
>>21622749Richfag detected indeedI drink mostly Jura savagnin, but I live there so it doesn't really count
>>21623907well maybe he lives in Beaune
>>21623907>Jura>Origin: The Alpstrololol
>>21623999I haven't had a Jura wine yet but I've only heard great things
>French/German/Spanish wine producer in Italy:/>Japanese wine producer in Italy:O
>>21623907Not actually rich (100k goy) but idk I just don't enjoy Bordeaux and find the other two regions far more enjoyable. And also how is Rhone, rich? You get some serious value stuff there specially cru stuff. On that note forgot to say (but kinda included) cru beaujolais too.
>>21624021is this a real problem or are you just trying to make ragebait with obscure references to something that didn't happen (but sounds like it would have)also I think you misspelled "in France"
>>21624192>also I think you misspelled "in France"exact same rules apply. Every French, Italian and Spanish wine that was hyped because it had a Japanese label on it has been overrated, not bad wine, but overrated.
>>21618974Is that a Lidl wine?
>>21624199I have never seen a japanese winemaker being hyped for italy or spain but to be fair I stopped going to the millennial tech bro wine shop where I used to encounter those kinds of things. now I get my bottle recs from a 70 year old man with an accent I can't identify who looks like some kind of ethnic but I can't identify that either
Speaking of Jap wine. I had some Muscat Bailey A while in japan and it just felt like a tamer Gamay.
>>21624219theres a few in emilia-romagna making natty orange wines and sparklers
>>21624238Gamay always came across as Nebbiolo's retarded little coursin
Got some homemade lasagna cooking in the oven. Trying to decide between a Chianti Classico reserva and a Bibi Graetz Testamatta.
>>21624356I'd go with the sexy label bibi :P
>>21624352Not sure I agree (especially when you take into account price). Tho I do find nebbiolo, Pinot noir and Gamay similar.>>21624356Chianti here
>>21624350oh, that's probably why. I occasionally drink vecchia modena lambrusco but otherwise I don't touch italian bubbly and I can't say I've ever had an italian orange wine either
>>21624368if you like that you should check out paltrinieri piria lambrusco di sorbara, they drink well young.
>>21624373I think paltrinieri makes an even darker one than the piria, that one’s a bit pink.
>>21618974Does honey wine count?
Universal, Burg or Bdx glass? Will use for everything but I mostly stick to (french) Chardonnays, Rieslings, and PN/Gamay.
>>21624543universal, I had a varietal specific phase back when I was too stupid to use the dishwasher for wine glasses, when they all ended up breaking I switched to universal and while doing the research on my next glasses also found out about the dishwasher thing, haven't had a breakage since
>>21624549But isn't a Bdx glass just a bigger Universal? Seems like a slightly better value? Idk. I don't have a dishwasher so I'll take the risk.
Trying orange wine for the first time. This stuff, at least this particular bottle, is awesome - it has some of the lightness, delicateness, and crispness of white wine with some of the robustness or 'meatiness' you have with a red. I'm not a wine connoisseur and I just buy cheap dry whites and reds to get drunk - two bottles of wine will usually do me for a big night; it's a better and more panther-like buzz compared to drinking the equivalent amount of beer, which tends to make me feel sluggish. A cheap sauvignon blanc will initally be light and refreshing but will get too acidic, reducing its drinkability. A cheap cabernet sauvignon can initially be good but there's this almost metallic quality that starts rearing its head and leaving too much of an aftertaste by the second bottle - obviously you wanna get more drunk so you'll keep drinking anyway, but you become conscious of it being 'heavy' to drink. This orange wine bridges the gap and is very, very drinkable. I really have to do some proper wine tasting to determine what I like beyond dry=good, sweet=bad.
>>21624507Sure.
>>21618974me birfday soon. should go well with a big ass steak.
Primitivo chads where we at?
>>21623412>Santa Ynez regionvery underrated area. the best American Sangiovese I ever had was from a small winery in Los Olivos
>>21625405name of the producer?
>>21624543universal zalto
>>21624543>redsuni ≥ burg > bord>whitesriesling ≥ uni >> burg (for all whites excluding 1er cru and above burgundy) >>> anything else
>>21625402grim
>>21625517>CT85 isn't bad tho, it's not like it's an 85 on vivino. an 85 on delectable is good
>>21625483>>21625507Okay universal then. Thanks
>>21625381niceeeeeeee
>>21624507Yes tej is based
Micro haul
>>21626273I have a few bottles of the 2018 Frogs Leap.Excited to open them soon.
>>21626283How long would you suggest aging frogs leap cab? I opened a 2021 recently and found it young but drinkable
Can /vin/ recommend me a bottle of champagne that is not too expensive but still a nice gift for an elderly relative.
>>21626429Could prob have the 19 now if you like it not too old. I've had one of the 18s earlier this year and it was great. I don't like them too old. I'll prob drink mine just at 10 years.
>>21626540I don’t mind them old or young. As long as it isn’t dead or so austere that I feel like I’m committing infanticide.
