Wife is making her AWESOME chili with some cornbread today. Which wine should I choose?
Quick google search says: Consider a malbec, shiraz, tempranillo, or select cabernet sauvignons. Others recommend Cotes du Rhone or Zinfadel.
What say you fine people?
(I have got a Seghesio Zin, a Bodega Norton Malbec, a Campo Viejo Tempranillo, a Molly Dooker Shiraz, and a few Riojas ready to go.....)

I would try for big bodied and sweet. The former because you'll need to taste it over the spiciness of the chili, and you may want the sweetness to contrast against it. Shira or Zin would probably be my choice, but several cabs and malbecs would likely make the grade.

Went with the Zin. Damn that chili was good!

Great Zin there! Make sure you try their Home Ranch and Rockpile zins as well.
Did the pairing go well?

Yes sir. It was very nice!
Should be sitting on this, but have 6 bottles so decided to try one.
And...?
Very fruit forward, full bodied and rich. Tannins were not to overly powerful after decanting for awhile. The wife thoroughly enjoyed it.

Joseph Phelps Insignia! One of my favorite wines.

First time I had heard of it but thinking I’ll pick up some for the holidays.

I went to a wine tasting years ago and sampled some Insignia. That was my first “ah-ha” moment with wine. It’s not cheap!
Still have a few 750ml and magnums in my wine locker (1999, 2001,2002, and 2007) if memory serves me correctly. Memory questionable as the years go on. Lol!

The 2002 vintage was awarded “Wine of the Year” by Wine Spectator

Yep. The 2002 was awarded Wine of the year in Wine Spectator. As soon as that happens the price skyrockets. The 02 and 07 are definitely the best years with the bottles that I have left.
The older I get the more I want to just drink with friends and not wait. They should be drinking well.

100 point score for the 2007
They should be drank, no? That’s a lot of years to cellar.

Yes, I know that they’d cellar for years to come. For me, it’s a matter of waiting for the right moment to enjoy with friends and family that appreciate wine and celebrate.
With that said, the older I get the less I want to wait and after awhile how much “better” will they get after a certain point. One thing that I’ve learned, is that I didn’t drink up before some others started to go south. Don’t want that to happen again even know those should have many years to go.

What's your verdict?

We dig it man. Super dry, high tannins, high acidity from what little I know about wine thus far. It was great with the meal we made tonight no doubt. However, I have some REAL sangiovese on the way--- allegedly! I have 2 bottles of 2015 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Arogona Brunello plus 2 bottles of 2010 Valdicava Brunellos. I have been waiting for sooooo long for these from K&L pre-arrivals. Allegedly they are on a boat at this moment and everything has been delayed due to COVID. They seem more than happy to refund my $$ but I really just want the friggin' wine!
