July 26, 2019 Marks Nine Years Of New Hampshire Wineman's Wine Blogging!
Please turn down your volume, because drinking wine doesn't make me a videographer.
Groth Oakville-Napa Valley 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, $76,49-$89.99, 97 points (today's retail price in NH is $139.99), poured core black grading to a deep ruby red with thin red and clear penumbras.
Aromas were fragrant black fruit with floral notes and quite savory.
Full-bodied red wine that should be described in superlatives like generous, unctuous, complex, cerebral, and last but not least, luscious.
Finished long on black currants, blackberry liqueur, anise, a touch of kirsch, easy warm spices, and a perfectly balanced 14.9% alcohol.
Paired to perfection with my spice-rubbed rare Angus rib eye steak.

"So consistently good! One cannot hardly ever go wrong with a Provence rosé."
It's quite freeing to be able to say: One can hardly go wrong with a _____ wine.
It doesn't take nine years to get to that place, but a bit of effort, more than a few pesos, and a modicum of experimentation should do the trick.

I know this wine blog's confidence building has rubbed-off on at least a few close friends and family members.
Mission accomplished!
Mission accomplished!
Haha, brings back memories! No need to apologize for the Commercial. "Everything is going to be alright"
