And again, a glass - or three - of Chilean Chardonnay is keeping me company tonight.
Got a tip for us?

@Scepticalscribe if you love Burgundy wines…you should definitely try this Appelation. Very good price for a great quality, check it out!
Ah, sigh.
Actually, I don't just like, nay love, Burgundy wines - in truth, I adore them.
Thank you for thinking of me - this looks as though it would be something well worth pursuing.
Ah, Closerie des Alisiers; excellent.
This is something I know.
Many (not all) of the Pouilly Fuisée, and Chablis I have had (enjoyed, savoured) over the past number of years have been Closerie des Alisiers.
Do enjoy.
Had a couple of pints of a very nice seasonal beer from local brewer Dr. Gabs:
Delorean!
Very nice, with citrus overtones reminiscent of some wheat beers I have had and very pleasant to drink.

Yesterday was a Puligny from Olivier Leflaive with Dublin prawns.
Tonight was special.
Charles H Grande Cuvée (it has a special place in my heart because it used to be the one they served on Singapore Airlines), then Perrier-Jouët, then a wonderful Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières and because that was not enough…a flabbergasting Meursault 1er Cru Gennevrières.
OMG. I’m so blessed they do such amazing wine in France. I just wish more people would be able to just try it. Amazing.

Gorgeous selection.
Absolutely gorgeous selection, a selection that includes some of my own favourites.
Do enjoy.
Sipping a glass of Chianti myself.
I read somewhere that half the enjoyment of a good wine comes from the experience at the time. I can attest to that. Back in 1973, when I worked in a stereo shop in Toronto, we were often taken out to dinner by McIntosh, a high end audio manufacturer. They plied us with all kinds of good wine. That is when I learned to enjoy the finer wines of France. On my wife's 25 birthday, we went out to dinner at the stuffiest restaurant in Toronto, called Wellingtons. 2 Couples, all very young with long hair. We got very mediocre service by the waiters with their noses up in the air, until they asked what we wanted to drink, and I said we wanted a $150 bottle of 1967 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild. I wish I had an iPhone then to get a picture of the look on his face. Immediately several other waiters came over and straighten the silverware and decanted the wine. It was faaantastic, but the experience was definitely a major part of the evening and the pleasure of the wine. An evening I will never forget to this day.
Love some beer, particularly New England IPA, Belgian styles, and German styles, but have been trying to keep sugar intake lower, so I drink dry red wine or whiskey more often.
My top Cabernets are 1) Juggernaut Hillside, 2) Joel Gott 815, and 3) H3. I regularly try others, but keep coming back to these as regulars.
These days, if I have beer, it’s when I can get ahold of the world class stuff. Most often when I can get Treehouse.
Cheers!
