Its been forever - but thought I would finally get back to blogging! 2010 got off to a bit of a crazy start thus far with nutty adventures in California and lots of changes (new job, etc)- as part of our effort to collectively set some goals for this year - we decided we needed wine goals (of course) - one being 2010 is the year of the decanter. Too many times we've opened up a bottle - $$ or $ and been sort of so so on the first couple glasses only to savor the last two - ah if only we decanted. Happily we are off to a good start and are decanting pretty much everything but white wine and bubbly at this point. HUGE difference - especially for some of our older Pinots. Unfortunately (part of our crazy 2010) we dropped a wine glass on our Spiegelau decanter so we had to find a replacement (thank you Jamie for the recommendations).
We also are going to attempt to build a passive wine cellar in the crawl space to help keep our wine at the preferred temperature - I'll take pics of the before and after to document the event once we get started. We've had the wine in racks, inventoried, and organized for eons just haven't finished building it out (spreadsheets are of course involved).
Keeping this short and sweet tonight - weekend of madness dealing with appliances - we've been drinking a fair bit of tasty red from WA....so here are my picks for my favorite reds of the moment:
- 2006 WoodsLake Syrah (Patterson Cellars)
- 2007 Sharecropper Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2006 Darby Darkside Syrah
Hope everyone is having a great new year thus far - promise to be a bit better about keeping up with my blog!
