At first I considered posting something really nice for my wine number 200 🍭🎈!
Then I rethought my focus...so I went to my local Hyvee wine department and picked up a bottle accompanied by card stating it had a good rating..better yet the bottle's vintage actually matched that on the card! 😱
Instead of this post being about my wine...I want this to be a special shout out...Kudos...and thank you to All Of You wonderful people who make up this community of people who are passionate about wine!
Thank you to all of you that have taken the time to answer my silly Questions...given advice...and have taught me so much by expanded my knowledge of what great wines are out there (we won't mention the expansion of 💸) 😏
I am grateful to ALL of you...to UPS and FedEx and to family living 15 minutes across the Mississippi in Illinois for wines that will not ship to Iowa!! 🙄
As for this wine that I am sampling tonight...it is very pleasantly balanced...cherry liqueur..earth..black licorice and leather!
Cheers to all! 🍷

Color of mix of hazy purple and burgundy. Nice nose of wet mushroom, spice like thymes, subtle cherry jam, and a bit medicinal note. Taste is dried, hickory, berry, tobacco leaves, peppery, and some zesty note. Aftertaste is peppery, and bittersweetness, medium long. Very interested tasting experience. I rate her high partly because of the interesting characters.
