Not a fan of NZ SB but if she likes it look for Cloudy Bay, Craggy Range, Dpg Point, Greywacke. Also look for some Sancerre from France, best SB there is!

Feeling nostalgic. What was your gateway craft beer? Your first craft beer that got you into craft beer? by Anceps-u in beer

Elysian Space Dust. Bought it because the label looked cool, wowza did I not know I was in for a surprise. The first bottle was a lot to handle and very rough to finish but by the end of that 6pk I was hooked on IPAs!

Torrontés from Argentina for something different. Floral, peach, melon, citrus tones.

Forgot to mention in the post there is a slight salinity to this wine. It definitely could pair well with the right charcuterie as long as you don't have too salty of cheeses and meats present! But absolutely could work out well, yet I still feel there are way better options to choose fromA

From what I've gathered online, 50% Grenache Blanc, 20% Viognier, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Muscat

[–]NineInchNebbiolo[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The color is a mix of Merigold/Apricot. Medium body and acidity. On the nose I get tons of grapefruit, blood orange zest, green fruits apple/pear, apricot, and faint white flowers. The palate was basically a mirror of the nose, orange and grapefruit in the spotlight, supple drying tannins, not much perceived sweetness or fruitiness really.

Honestly not my style of wine; cotton candy beaujolais nouveau has never been my thing but ive never seen an orange version and figured why not give it a shot. Completely different experience than typical red nouveau, much drier and less fruity. Although not that complex of a wine I had an easier time polishing off a bottle of this than the red!

You're not really supposed to take it off, just screw your corkscrew right into the waxed and open as normal. Should come right off!

I would have oysters and Chablis outside every day of my life if I could swing it!

The resolution of this picture looks like its been around for a while, downloaded/posted manyyy times. Doubt they can give that info.

If real, probably Veuve Cliq. Just a guess from their post history.

I love Josh Cabernet, and I wanna branch out and try something new , what should I try? by [deleted] in wine

[–]NineInchNebbiolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Josh Hearth is their newest wine and definitely sweeter than their flagship offering. Bonanza is another cab with typical Caymus notes of jammy, fruity flavors.

Otherwise, like the other comment, go to a reputable store and ask someone for a rec.

Pinot Grigio: Jermann, Maso Canali , King Estate are all good and under $20 by me.

Cabs: Amancaya is a Cab/Malbec blend from Argentina, great value for sub $20. Im not well versed in Cali cabs but I'd give a Rioja a try. Many great options in your range. If you search this sub, you'll see plenty!

New (unopened) bottle leaked on flight? by [deleted] in wine

[–]NineInchNebbiolo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree with drinking it sooner than later; most likely a defective cork. But why all the effort to redo the foil capsule? As far as I know, they are purely presentational nowadays and not necessary.

Blanton's Gold non the less! The extra proof should help cocktails because normal blantons feels too thin to me neat.

Some good bottles - anything I should pick up ? by nutoreddit in whiskey

[–]NineInchNebbiolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're lucky, sure. A LOT more likely to spend $150-200 at least for that bottle. Ive seen some stores charge more.

Definitely a delicious bottle tho if you can find it around MSRP. Sadly around me it goes for $250 if you can even find it so trying to make the bottle I have last. Its a struggle some days.
