Good Wine and Good Company

[Hooknswoop 19]

Flyangel2, Skycat, and I (Hooknswoop) are rinking a very nice, natural yeast fermented, Miner Chardonnay, the steaks are on the grill, desert is in the fridge, and the stories are flying. Good times and better to come.

Then what the hell are you doing on dz.com telling everyone about it?

Can't be that much fun, can it?

Oh, and how on earth did you fit the entire desert in your fridge? Must be a HUGE one!

This thread should get nice and fun after the fourth or fifth bottle.

Now you know you have an open invitation. We are well into our third bottle. We just reviewed the video from my wire strike BASE jump. That night wasn't nearly as fun as tonight is.

Miner Chard --

Always had a more fond affinity for their cab then their whites (chrd or SB)

As a white burg lover, though, the new american oak of many of cali's chards are too much.

I don't give Texans a lot of credit, but you guyd can grill. C'mon up, the tunnel will be open soon and the ski resorts have already started opening. We got a short snow storm here at 5330 FT MSL this morning.

We weren't too keen on their other whites either, but this ine was so unique and good, we bought a couple of bottles. They told us that they take a big risk by allowing the grapes to ferment naturally like they used to make wine, so they don't make a lot that way. So far, they are 4 for 4 years of making one wine this way. It is really good, differenmt from any other chard. If you get the chance, grab a bottle, it is worth it.

I grew up in Napa, CA, TX wines don't measure up. The industry is geetin away from cork, it can taint the wine. I thought all TX wines came in boxes?

Give me a major break! Have you ever tried a Texas wine? Ft. Stocton and Lubbock as well as our Hill Country have brought home silver and gold, for their wines. I've taken Allen Silver some of our wines and as a Californian, even he was impressed!
I was interested to read awhile back, that the wine industry was getting away from cork and going to 'screw' caps.
