I have a natural cellar that sees seasonal swings and have been using it over 15 years. The oldest bottles are as nice as one would want of "good provenance" bottles. I see little reason to modify except for increased humdity which does not bode well in an open home cellar next

Here's a cool bottle I can't wait to try:

kelmac07 · 11-24-2011, 04:21 PM

A few pick-ups for Kellie. Been hunting down the Roscato for about six months now. Kept getting told there was no such thing as a red moscato...but I kept on hunting. Perseverance paid off!!

Mac is the red moscato sweet or semi sweet?

Supposed to be sweet...as the regular white moscato is a very sweet wine. The red moscato is supposed to have hints of berry to it. Haven't cracked a bottle yet.

I saw a red moscato at Kroger's of all places just a few days ago.

Also, I picked up a a bottle of Penfold's Grandfather Port last Friday after a tasting here in Columbus. Grahams 20 year tawny was my favorite, until now! Recommended for any lovers of Port Wine.

This is my absolute favorite wine right now. 100% Cabernet.

Opened my first bottle of 2007 Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinking great right now. Decanted about 2 hours. Some great values in 07 cabs from Cali. I need to stack a few more mid range priced 07's away. Also opened a 2006 Peju Cab Franc. Wow. what a wine. Great earthy flavors, and some forest floor action going on. Not as much oak character as one would expect. This is a wine for the old world wine drinkers to check out.

I have an 05 Reserve in the basement. Peju makes some very good wines.

Napa. I had a friend take a vacation in Napa a few months back and he stopped at Peju. He brought back a bunch of good bottles. Napa would be a great trip to make.

I have a 2007 Cab Franc and a few various Cabs from Peju. Another of my favorite warm weather wines is the Peju Provence red white mix. Amazing wine.

"Earthy" and "forest floor" are not flavors I think about in wine. Living in the forest and tasting earth occasionally may have an affect on that.

Try a cab franc from the Loire Valley. Hard to believe you've never tasted earth/soil in a wine before. I'd also tell you to try a pinot from North Burgundy, but then again unless you like the smell of sh!t, you won't enjoy them. Sh!t is not an aroma anyone thinks about in wine at first thought.

Gamay from Loire can be full of non-fruit driven flavors too. I like Loire Valley wines and they are well priced

I have had quite a few Pejus, my Grandparents love them and always bring a few bottles over for family dinners. They have always been solid performers in my book

jwintosh · 01-22-2012, 10:16 AM

I met James at Perfecto Cigar Lounge in Roseville. I'll have to get out to Paso and look him up.

Sterling Cellar Club Sangiovese 2007. Damn good

hammondc · 07-18-2012, 12:25 PM

Any input from you fellas regarding a Rose'? As much as I love my reds, it is summer and I need something a bit lighter.
