It's different... Stone Cellers Zinfandel

Remember kids... enjoy responsibly! Hahahahahaha...

Since we never review California wines, I'd never seen that little box before that makes me verify that I'm over 21. So flattering! That they'd think I was so young. Here in Quebec we start drinking when we're 8.

Back to the wine. J decided it was time we had some Zinfandel. So we headed for the Stone Cellars by Beringer. It's so smooth, it almost isn't there. And that's a compliment. It tastes kind of white, without the tang.

I just... well... It's not that I don't like it. I DO. But there isn't much to go on. It's really nice. It always says "yes" and never crosses over into contentious topics. Never disagreeable.

Grenache: 100 year old vines

A-iiiite. We are (finally) watching all those Wire episodes that all the cool kids watched back in 2006. So famously included in What White People Like, but hey. We like it anyway. So we are onto the last season, 6th episode. Dude just jumped out of the window in a hail of bullets. I figure either Marloe dies or Omar dies: one of them has to die. And Marloe can't die, because then justice isn't done. But maybe Barksdale springs from prison to kill Marloe and then Barksdale gets nailed.

Anyway, to help smooth us in these difficult days of not-knowing, pre-season finale jitters, we are swilling some FINE wine from Spain. Krstn will take a photo and post a picture of the label. All's I know is it's 100% pure grenache vines, and only cost 15$. I think it was a 2006. Nice colour. Instant joy as it goes in the gullet.

Bubbles: Krstn thinks he will make it. Me too.

Cozy like a little tongue blanket: Langlois-Chateau Cabernet Franc 2006

We're newly resolved to be... organized about the wines we're trying. So, introducing St Florent Domaine Langlois-Chateau, Saumur Rouge, Cabernet Franc 2006.

It stretched over my tongue like a little blanket, tickling new places way down the sides of my tongue. But it needs to breathe first... and warm up a little... I drank it in the bath.
