Red blend from slodown wines. We are fans of sexual chocolate but I prefer stand out

Mulled wine is now the wine of the season!

I have really never met a wine I didn't like

Loving my birthday present - the vinovolve is still a prototype but used at some high end local restaurants

What's a vinovolve?

 

[Traminer]

I have really never met a wine I didn't like

I have - but only very very rarely!

What's a vinovolve?

Something to help stirring the wine, as it seems.


But I doubt whether it is really needed.

What is the difference between this thing and aeration devices such as Vinturi?

 

[Traminer]

I am sorry - but I have no idea.


I do not need any such gadgets to enjoy my wine.

It is something for aeration - it is in the prototype phase. We were offered the option to purchase in late 2015 by the sommelier at a wine bar we frequent. The inventor is local and it is in the testing phase. So far Ruth's Chris, Del Frisco and dean & Delucca are using them as well as some local upscale establishments. The national launch should be this year. The reviews are excellent and we have noticed a major difference with bigger wines that benefit from aging.

I met the VP at Gundlach Bunschu on Tuesday at a local tasting. The Cab was very nice. And she was lovely.

Also purchased a bottle of 2011 Opus One for Valentine's Day/hopefully a post-Carolina Panthers victory celebration. If Denver should win, it may saved for our anniversary this summer.

Tonight is a mild Zin - Cheers

I started a wine club in my neighborhood. I host in March and my theme will be aeration since we are suckers for gadgets - comparing simple decanting, Vinturi, Vino VoLve and Phillip Stein wine wand. So hopefully we will get some fun feedback.
