We did actually buy a muscat ;)
I'm a sucker for muscat.
We got a white port too, and an aged verdehlo sticky, and some shiraz to put in the cellar.
Much fun was had by all!
I wouldn't choose to drink sheaf stout. :)

My god you are so lucky to be living where you are PIP. Just breathtaking beauty <3
 
yeah, muscat, orange muscat, muscat canelli, muscato etc. mm mmm

i usually go for tawny port, but havent had a white.

what kind of shiraz did you get?

verdehlo sticky... huh? wuts dat?!?

ive been into reds from argentina lately, specifically malbec.

there is a vineyard near by, well several, but mt baker vineyard makes some amazing ice wine and other late harvests. washington state uses the old world french methods, despite californias ultra popular and profitable new world techniques.

i am a big riesling fan, theres a vineyard in seattle that produces some world class stuff 99-100 point according to wine spectator and works with
Dr. Loosen often.

god, what i would give for a glass of this botrytis... probably 50 bucks id guess! haha ugh



i love talking about wine

:D

**Whooooo thread hijack!!** =D

The white port is very interesting! Obviously not as heavy a palette as tawny port but still quite rich. To be honest it's a lot like any other white sticky but hey, they're good too hehe. It's to be served ice cold mmmmm yum.

Did you mean "huh what" to the verdehlo grape or the fact that it's a verdehlo sticky? It is very uncommon for verdehlo to be made in to a sticky, yes! But this one was nice. We mainly got it because it's a rare deviation from the usual semillon or botrytis etc etc variety of sticky wine.

The shiraz we got was also very interesting. Because this particular region isn't very nutritionally-appropriate for red wines, their shiraz's are only light- to medium-bodied, at best. The colour was a dark violet, not the classic dark red. And the flavour was far less powerful than a "usual" shiraz wine. We'll age it a few years and see how it is :)

HOORAY FOR WINE!! <3
 
what kind of shiraz?

full bodied reds can get a bit too heavy, not as much fun off the table...

thats why i like malbec, full on blue fruits and plum, tastes full bodied but is medium, very drinkable, to the laaaast drop. :D
 
I don't know what kind of shiraz...shiraz is shiraz isn't it? Or have I missed something?

Hehe it's funny, all the grapes in different countries. I've heard of malbec but I've never tried it cos it's just not sold over here. What's it like?

*edit* you already told me what it's like, nevermind =D
