Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone will send you to heaven and beyond. Actually, any of their wines are beyond belief.

Re: The Wine Thread
Had a wonder 1948 Fonseca a week ago; absolutely fantastic. The weekend was full of port including 1963 Fonseca, 1963 Dow, 1977 Fonseca, 1977 Dow, 1977 Warre, 1980 Graham, and 1980 Dow.
Also had a really fancy Marsala that tasted like Madeira, but after a few days opened took a life of its own. I needed to finish it before I left the country for work.

Re: The Wine Thread
Being the country of my birth, I have an affinity for South African wines. Alto Shiraz is a spectacular example of an old world style Syrah (I.e. Not Aussie fruit bomb crud). It's been cellared a while, but has aged magnificently into a fine leathery, sweaty, still tannic red. paired up with JBs homemade ricotta gnocchi with a sage mushroom cognac sauce. Totally sublime......

Re: The Wine Thread
Hey, I found a hidden wine thread!!
I see the recent talk has turned to port but I want to share a couple pics of my wine "cellar". As you can see my wife and I enjoy wine way too much. Ports are on the bottom shelf, third rack from the left. Wines that still need a few more years of ageincluding ports, are in the closet to the left of the cooler Also in that closet are my coolerdors and other cigar related crap |

Re: The Wine Thread
That's a good buy at $13. Keep you eyes out for any 2011 LBV's as that is regards as one of the best vintages in long long time.
If you make it to Boston, I have some '70 & '85 Offley vintage we can drink!

Re: The Wine Thread
I was pleasantly surprised, my first offering from Offley and thought it was fantastic!! I'll keep my eyes out for some 2011's. I really do hope to one day share a drink and smoke with you Moses, always look forward to your comments and input!

Re: The Wine Thread
Since you are seeking out port, for tawny or colheita:
Niepoort Kopke St. Leonardo Ferreira Quevedo If you can find anything from these brands, they are all great at every price point.

Re: The Wine Thread
Moses, does Colheita have to be drank immediately after opening (3 days or less)? or is it like most other Ports and can be enjoyed months afterward? Not that opened Ports last a week in my house, just curious, thanks!

Another thing worth trying is white port. Mix 1/2 white port with 1/2 tonic into a high ball glass with ice and garnish with either fresh mint or basil leaf. Great drink to start a night off with friends or alone!

Re: The Wine Thread
Been drinking a lot of Jos Carr Josh cabs over the past year+. For $10/bottle, you can't go wrong with it as an every day table wine.
