Wait, I usually drink with Tarlam. How many quarts is a finger?

I have big hands. My 2 fingers are going to be like 2-3 oz's. I'll just drink from the bottle and be done with it.

So HH, what was the label on the delectable pinot noir?

I liked it. I've only had a couple bottles of Merlot since I've begun wine drinking that really blew me away. Other than those couple bottles (don't even remember the maker), this Pinot was right up there with what I hope for in a decent bottle of wine. I wasn't disappointed at all. I know I'll buy more bottles of Pinot Noir. The price was good at ~ $10.

Try Ravenswood, Vinters Blend. It's a Cabernet Sauvignon. I think it's in that $10-12 range.

I plan on drinking about one bottle per month over the course of my life so I think I'll just buy one bottle to age each month. I'll record when it should reach it's prime, where it's stored on the shelf, ect. . . . I'll keep it in an excel file, then in a couple years, I can just sort it according to what is peaking, look over two excel fields and see where it's stored in my cellar (basement shelving unit that I'm going to build), go downstairs to row B, collumn 5 and grab a drinkable bottle of Cab or whatever the hell I'm in the mood for.


I intend on having an initial description field where I put notes on how it tasted when I sampled it. Then 3-10 years later when it's ready to drink, I'll grade it and then look at the initial notes to see what initial qualities made a great wine or made a poor wine or an average win, ect. . .

It's kind of a little research project that takes a lifetime to become good at.

Anyway, I really enjoy wine. I like that it's hard to find a really good bottle. I like that it gets you buzzed. I'll let you know how my wine cellar develops over the next few months and I'll fill you in on how my rehab goes if this ever gets out of hand

If you enjoyed the Pinot you had try some of the Oregon Pinot's I listed earlier in the thread. Damn good juice.

I enjoy research....

You can usually buy a wine journal at a wine store, along with clear sticky paper that allows you to transfer the label to the journal and then add notes, like so:

I've got one of those, I like to include also, where the wine came from....as in 'who' gave it to us...................they get a better chance of getting invited back that way!
