Château Destieux

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Vacations that involve both cycling and wine are the absolute best. Already thinking of where to go in 2023.

Last night my neighbors shared this gem that they brought back from a recent Bordeaux wine and bike holiday. (Note to self to spend more time with the fun neighbors 😁).

The 2014 Château Destieux was super approachable after a short decant. Very ripe concentrated fruit, but not in a bad way. Complex with soft tannins. 14.5% ABV. Really a lovely bottle.

Rule #64 Remember to bring back a bottle (or bottles) while traveling. The subsequent stories about the adventure will pair perfectly with that wine.

Vinhão 2018

So yummy! The first day we opened it, it was super funky - sour cherries and sausage?? It was also so silky and bubbly that first day. But after 2 days, it lots that weird meaty/farmy taste and became just a beautiful, rich, bright wine and didn’t lose its bubble :) ripe strawberries, cherries, rounded tannins. What an adventure! — 4 years ago

Château Pavie

Arômes de Pavie St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

This second wine is delightful but would benefit from more cellar age. A bit floral on the nose, the palette of dark fruit and fine tannins make for an interesting adventure for the consumer. — 2 years ago

Domaine Bechtold

Obere Hund Pinot Noir 2019

Earthy aromas and a little natural funk, the more powerful aromas do not match the more subtle flavors of earth and black fruits, with mild acidity and surprising tannins. Alsatian Adventure private tasting. — 2 years ago

Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2010

Yes, an aged Loire Romaratin. 12 years aged & intriguing: Dainty and fino like on back end, moderate acid & more floral than fruit. For 20$ a worthwhile adventure… — 3 years ago

A great grape to lay down and forget about, especially at the prices when new!
