I am home "alone" tonight (jkk playing softball, monkey asleep) and I badly wanted something to drink with my asian style salmon and broccoli with oyster sauce dinner. Sake would have been perfect. Even a 7-up with fresh ginger or bitters. But I had none of that. And so I opened 1 of the 2 mysterious gifted bottles from Laurels bday/room crash reveal party.
I chose the screw top one. Must be the cheapest one....
Holly molly! I knew I would like it.
Just up my alley: central california, paso robles, 2007 sounded promising (and so was the other one, also 07), but the best part was the blend: syrah, mourvedre (?), grenache (spanish varietal that's becoming increasingly popular. I LOVE blends and specially those with syrah or petitte syrah.
But oh! My! I'm not only love it. I'm shocked at my find! This vintage is sold out at the producing winery. Villa Creek. It has over 90 points in ratings and its around $40. I don't drink that kind of wine! I'm cheap!!
Not complaining! Just wish I had a gang of friends here (yeah, the one night I look forward to solo time) to share in my luck!
Thank you mysterious friend. I have a handful of peeps I think may have brought it. But I don't know for sure!
Next party I will document this things!
So, if you are the one: I LOVE you back and thank you! Let me know it was you. Would love to just have the chance to give you a hug!
.... Not so drunk! Just happy!
