Oh my.. all the winos here!! I'm not in bad company then!! Lolol!!
Sis Kathy, you might have to get started on Morgan David! My late MIL swore by it every night. She never had any heart issues.

Cookie, you're right, my birthday has passed. I was saying that normally I'd decanter a bottle on the day, but I decided to do it another night. That's when I found the cooler not working.
The wine you served on my last night.. a Merlot I think.. was good!

Karen, drink more wine.. it will boost your health according to the French and Mediterraneans.. and the Greeks too.

Not you Barb!!! Chrissy, I can believe she's capable of 'celebrating', but you!! That must be the most memorable wine tasting you must ever had, if you remember all that you've drunk!

Carole, I wish there's a way my sister can send me a barrel of first pressed olive oil from Tuscany! I'll certainly share that gold with you.
And yes to Ca. wines, now that the French wine has higher tariffs. Besides the Cabernets, I'm a glutton for Louis Jardot Pouilly Fuisse. Can't help naming the youngest rescue Bebe Louis!

LK, I love some whites. But since I forced myself to go on a wine diet, I stick to reds. Biblically.. Jesus made wine. Wine is wine.. and if it's grape juice. it would say so. (in case some wonder what this Christian girl is doing)
Drunk in moderation.

When I was 20 going 90, I thought I knew it all! I'd only drink Mateus Rose as I love the bottle shape. At every fancy restaurant, I'll wait for the sommelier to do his rituals, and I would oblige by swirling the glass.. sniff and sip..
Then one eveningh I realize that ALL Mateus taste the same!! DUUUH.. I might as well ask the sommelier to do a fancy presentation on Coca Cola!!
Told my date to get me the most expensive bottle on the list. Poor soul obliged, and it was a Dom Perignon. Mercifully it was only $50 then (in Singapore, booze is cheap).
Don't feel bad for him.. I married him a year later!!

Didn't drink my TL 1997 yesterday. Was recovering from a headache.
Here are some bottles waiting in the fridge..
1997 Gallo Sonoma.. 1996 Turning Leaf... 1998 Turning Leaf.
I regret not getting a case of the 1997 TL. It was an exceptionally good year for the Napa Valley.

Okay.. talk about multi tasking.. while doing this.. I just answered the phone and donated $ to the Children Cancer Fund. Wine always makes me feel good!! Lolol!
