A dry red wine from my "wine advent calendar.
Pretty good.
Earlier a "Pumpkin Porter" at a craft beer bar before dinner.

Broke open a bottle of Louis Roederer Brut Primier (champagne)...no special occasion except that we felt like it. Not supposed to drink any alcohol due to the meds I take...but what the hell, you only live once. In my days of Champagne, Roederer "Cristal" was my drink of choice. All their wines are spectacular! Nothing improves a glass of Champagne as much as a Cognac Float. Ah, the good old days!!! |

Opened a bottle of dry white wine from (and named) Orvieto, after a small town in Italy. I've been fortunate enough to visit that town twice (2001 and 2018). A great old world village on top of a kind of a butte. Only small/tiny cars allowed in the town. Most people have to park in the city parking lot below the town and either take a shuttle service or a funicular (inclined railway) up into town. The "butte" is kind of a soft volcanic pumice-like material, and most houses have a basement that was created by manually carving out the soft "pumice-like" stone. The "underground" of this village is full of tunnels. Many of which were part of the city defenses hundreds of years ago. Regular cars and trucks are too heavy and caused the streets to collapse into the tunnels.    |

Ronv69Yes, there are a lot of Vespas. I guess I'm wrong when I said only tiny cars. There were "buses" that weren't much bigger than regular vans, but they were only allowed at the top of the entrance road. Not through out the town. The streets were stone paved and very narrow anyway. Just Vespas, bicycles and foot traffic. Wouldn't mind living there actually. Bought some of the best "no-name" wine there, that I could never find again. Was thrilled when I found the Orvieto white wine locally.

Just had a shot of Chivas. I have been trying to get warm all morning and I needed to empty the bottle, so why not? I'm retired. It's 62 degrees and sunny so I don't know why I am feeling cold, but that fixed it.

Touriga Nacional from Portugal.
I can only say a BIG red wine. Often used to make Port and blended with Tempranillo, as a table wine at 15 per cent alcohol, it has lot of character. Closet comparison I can think of is the Italian Amarone de Valpolicella.
I buy the Quevado Family products and enjoy them. Douro Valley.

Back around 69 I inventoried a liquor store that the multi-millionaire owner was getting rid of. They held out a bottle of French wine from 1874, the most expensive bottle in the store. We sat around and the manager/sommelier and he served us all a bit. It was corked. |
