A couple of bottles of a very nice cabernet and I need to ship it about 1000 miles. I will wrap it exceptionally well and I’m not worried about that but what about flying in an unpressurized aircraft?
Just built a small (282 plants) vineyard in the backyard. about 1/2 is syrah, 1/2 is cabernet souvignon. We’re looking for some creative names for the vineyard (not the actuall wine). Any ideas are helpful.
Thanks
a certain wine is coming out that I’d love to have, but I won’t be able to drink it until october. it’ll be sold out long before then, so I’d need to order it now. if I store it properly, will it be all right until october? how should I store it? there’s also a cabernet in the same line - does that keep any better?
Merlot or Cabernet if possible. I like the wine Bogle…anyone know a similar type to this?
I collect a small amount of wine. Currently I have about 60 bottles. I started collecting Opus One and a lesser-known Bordeaux by Rothschild with the 1998 vintages. Yesterday, I bought three bottles of a 2005 Concha y Toro Don Melchor Cabernet for about each, and three bottles the 2005 Opus One for about 0 each. The Don Melchor was rated by Wine Enthusiast at 96 while the Opus One has a 95 depending on which magazine rated it.
The ratings have been similar for these wines. Here’s what I’ve been able to find for both:
2004 both were rated at 94
2002 DM was 93 OO was 94
2001 DM was 94 OO was 89
2000 DM was 95 OO was 89
I know the 89s for the Opus is not a good representation of it’s true quality. Both tend to come in around the mid 90s.
Also, Don Melchor came in as the fourth best wine in 2006 according to Wine Spectator .
So, why does the Opus One get so much attention when you can get what appears to be just as good a wine for much less money? I know the name is a part of it, but why wouldn’t Don Melchor end up with as good a name after years of great wine?
I guess my question is, I’m I missing something? Is there something other than name and points that make Opus worth more?
My fiance bought me a couple of bottles of wine and i didn’t know when i’d be drinking them so i put them in the fridge. Will this compromise the flavor of the wine when i do decide to open them?
I have a bottle of cabernet souvignon and a zinvandel in the fridge. Should i take them out?
I'm looking for Cabernet's and other dry reds rated 90 pts or better by Wine Spectator for and under.
Oh, and I don't care how the French classify their wine, I'm interested in the wine, not the labeling.
I have listed on ebay 11 bottles of Screaming Eagle cabernet but they are not selling as well as I expectd. Could someone recommed another auction site for selling wine?
I am leaving to go out of state to stay with a friend and her family for the Thanksgiving Holiday. My friend's parents each like different wines. Her mother likes Pino Grigio and her father likes Merlot or Cabernet. Can you recommend a good one to take as a Hostess Gift for them? I appreciate your help.
