@Alex hah! That’s what we brought to the party.

In the first glass - taste, aroma, subtlety, astringency. And then I take it and just pour it)))

Tonight’s tipple with dinner will be this -
Also a bit of a Ridge fan, although these need a little longer. Had to cut back, due to pickling my liver over the last 30 years! Still enjoy a glass now and then.

I realize I can’t pick out a favorite.
But three wines that I really enjoy currently are:
Hofgut Falkenstein Spätlese feinherbst “Meyer Nepal”. Falkenstein is old school Mosel riesling. Very high acidity. This one is perfectly balanced by the residual sugar, making it a very fresh and crisp wine. The color is very light but the flavor is intense.
Kelly Fox Mirabai. Oregon. Her entry level pinot noir. Fruit driven, light almost shiny red wine, fresh fruit and acidity, no tannins. Surprisingly intense given its color, a very drinkable wine.
Conterno Gattinara. Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte - I love nebbiolo, and this is a fairly light version from a serious producer. Obviously tannic, but with a fresh fruit as well. Smells of strawberry. I think it will age very well.
I drink a lot more white than red, so it’s a bit strange that two reds make it on the list, but then again, a lot of wine drinking doesn’t make sense.

I love Côte Rôtie but it doesn't travel well, you really have to drink it in France
