New Hampshire's over-night temp is, according to the National Weather Service, suppose to be 60 degrees.<br />At any rate, thanks for the visit.<br />DennisNew Hampshire Winemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111304557830665931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402117742947814196.post-36018982411212931382011-08-04T17:48:41.961-04:002011-08-04T17:48:41.961-04:00I do agree that the Lust could never just be enjoy...I do agree that the Lust could never just be enjoyed alone and I would never think to drink it in the summertime (it is 99 outside right now). I think a big part of it being so well-received here in Texas is how well it works with some of our spicy cuisine. <br />I also reviewed it in October last year. We last had a bottle in March or April and I thought it had a prune quality as well. I am now wondering how it is aging and what I will think when we open another bottle. <br />I will let you know when it cools down enough here to think about it.<br />Cheers!

Although I haven't tasted these wines I have tasted a number of wines from Michael David Winery and generally find a quite reasonable, if not very good, price to value ratio. A couple of observations:<br /><br />a) the most compelling thing about the photo is the picture of the bra in the background (men will never stop being fascinated with the female form); the actual name of the wine is one of the most sophomoric to date.<br /><br />b) note to CA: super high alcohol levels mean that the wine will not age well, nor will it develop complexity from bottle age - just wanted you to know in case there are UC Davis sophomore interns actually making your wine.<br /><br />c) note to consumer: drink this now because it won't ever get any better. In fact it will get worse quickly.<br /><br />d) if you want to get loaded quickly on wine, this is your pick ("Lust"). Conversely if you wanted to just get loaded and the sauce doesn't matter, bourbon, vodka, scotch, etc will take you there faster, albeit not by much.<br /><br />d) if I was a wino on the street, this would be my first choice if affordability was not an issue.<br /><br />e) I, like many of us, could become a wino on the street at any moment.<br /><br />Good stuff, keep up the great writing and tasting!<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />David Boyer<br />classof1855.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402117742947814196.post-21524055749501060152011-07-31T19:34:51.838-04:002011-07-31T19:34:51.838-04:00Just a thought on the color "garnet" fro...Just a thought on the color "garnet" from the crystals often used as gem stones: since there are several types of garnet, all having a different color, what I think most are referring to is the <br />Pyrope garnet, which has a deep red hue.
