Two of the best I’ve had

But of course at this level of quality, I didn’t buy them; they were gifts!

The one on the left was a birthday gift in 2019 from our friends Raymond and Jeanne. Raymond got it in South America on his return from a trip to Easter Island.

The one on the right was a gift from a graduate student and his family as he graduated with a master’s degree in economics in 2011. He subsequently earned an MBA and at last notice, was working in sales. The bottle of wine came with a thank you-note on a funny greeting card, which I am saving. But empty wine bottles? They gotta go; can’t keep ’em forever. So a photo posted to 365 will have to hold the memories. » Cakebread Cellars

Two other memorable wines:
» Cloudy Bay (Sauvignon Blanc): [ April, 2011 ] [ April, 2018 ]
» Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon

Very nice! You would probably stick your nose up at the wine I buy. LOL!

@marlboromaam These are *not*, I repeat, *not*, my everyday wines! My budget for myself is about 20% of what these cost!

[Mags]

@rhoing I gotcha. =)

[Thom Mitchell]

@marlboromaam So I *can* appreciate really good wine. I'm just not willing to pay for it! :D

[Mags]

@rhoing I can imagine. If I always got the wine I wanted, it would be my favorite German wines Zeller Schwarze Katz or the Liebfraumilch that comes in the ceramic bottle. My dad kind of spoiled me with those. =)

@marlboromaam Before I went to the dark side (reds), a favorite was Piesporter Michelsburg, also a favorite of my mom's, I think. I may have to get some Zeller Schwarze Katz for our family members whose preferences run to the sweeter side — thanks for the implicit suggestion!

@rhoing Yeah? Well, what I drink with dinner almost everyday is a glass of white zinfandel - Livingston with the screw off cap - in the BIG green bottle. LOL!

[Thom Mitchell]

@marlboromaam LOL indeed!
