Christmas

I am going to back off of my vlogs for the month of December.  Going to put my money towards Christmas presents more than anything.  I will still try to do one or two a week.  I just ordered 4 wines from winelibrary.com.  I will be doing a budget month on all of those wines.

P.S.  If you are wondering what to get me for Christmas I would like a Brunello di Montelchino or a First Growth Bordeaux.

Beaujolais Nouveau 2

I apologize for my energy being low tonight.  Had a long night at work.  Got to bed at 2 am last night and I have been up since 5 am.  I hope to put up one tomorrow and I promise I will have better energy.

Computer seems to be working today so I am posting my Thanksgiving wine show #1

I am going to post my second Beaujolais Nouveau video tomorrow.

Lenovo

So I bought a brand new laptop August for school.  Since I've bought I've had to take it to geek squad 3 times for freezing.  Taking it back tomorrow for the same thing. I think its time they give me a new computer. Plus I recorded a new episode last night and can't post it now. Ill try to do it again. bog

Top 100

Wine Spectator put out their 2011 Top 100 wines today.

Hey Mambo

Hyrid Pinot Noir

My initial  assessment of this wine was way off.  After the excitement of trying it the first time I scored it higher than I should have.  After I turned the video off I struggled to drink it.  I think its because my pallet was cleaned from drinking water.  My new rating on it now is 77.  I would not try this wine again.  Sorry for the confusion

La Herencia Oscuro Fuerte and Sweetwater IPA

I'm at liquid smoke enjoying a relaxing cigar and brew.  The cigar has a dark oscuro wrapper that looks like it has a dark stain. It smells earthy and leathery.  Has a great full bodied smoke to it. Its a solid 89-90 point stogie. The IPA is always great. Very reminiscent of sour grapefruit.  Great beer. Ill put up a vlog later of wine. See you tonight

Well laptop crashed again today. No new videos for 3 days. It seems that every time I catch a stride it crashes.  Can't wait to put up s new video when I get it back. QOTD:  Have you tried a cigar and if so what's your favorite?

Sam Smith and Burbon

Triple threat

This past weekend

To my followers.  I am sorry that I didn't put up any new postings this last weekend.  My computer crashed again on Thursday afternoon.  I just now got it back and I will hopefully have something new up tomorrow or Wednesday.  On a side note my wife and I joined the wine club at Arrington Vineyards and can't wait to try some of their new wine club only wines.  Have a great day.
