Does that store ship?

This was OUTSTANDING. Perfect with the hot Italian sausage pasta, marinara, parmigiano reggiano, and garlic bread

For sure, Antinori is an Italian staple

Picked up 2 more bottles. At $17.99 it's a no brainer slam dunk!

Catching up for the week. The bad/good news is that I'm getting a new knee tomorrow, but that means not a drop of booze for the next two or three weeks while I'm on some heavyweight drugs. I've been told that hydrocodone is your friend...

This means my wife has actually been doing most of the cooking, so whites have come to the fore.

This Burgans was the first Albarino we ever tasted, close to thirty years ago, in a little Crystal City, VA French restaurant named Chez Froggy. It's still excellent.

... and this Verdejo is just an outstanding food wine, even at this age. Storage counts -- treat a wine well, and it will treat you well.

As Jacques Pepin would say, "Happy sipping!"

I'm surprised they gave you opioid narcotics for post-op pain. My advice is to try not to use it for more than 3 days post-op. Try maximum doses of Tylenol (assuming your liver is okay), and medium-max doses of ibuprofen or some other OTC anti-inflammatory (assuming your kidney is okay, your blood pressure is okay, you're not prone to ulcer, and are not taking blood thinners). If you can also avoid muscle relaxants and sleeping pills, then you can have some wine with generally no problems whatsoever.

P.S. I'm not licensed to give any advice over the internet, so there's no point in suing me.

This special bottles is a great gift from a old friend for quarantine time.

Nice gift! Spain has so many great, rich wines.

We also enjoy Mencia and Jumilla quite a bit. Working in Washington DC right across the street from a Jose Andres restaurant spoiled us....

Thanks. They gave me enough for 7 days, and advised taking one when the nerve blocks wore off last night. I did, but there is essentially no pain, so I don't plan to take more than is necessary The hydrocodone has 325 mg of acetominophen built-in as well.

If you can also avoid muscle relaxants and sleeping pills, then you can have some wine with generally no problems whatsoever.

Finally some good news! I don't take any other drugs at all.

Dang. I was looking forward to a boost in my retirement income.

[Big Jilm]

Could not find ANY: Papaioannou, Tsantalis, or most others you love unfortunately. However, I am very excited to try some Greek wine for the first time!!

 

[Coyote]

Pitty you didn't find any Papaioannou. If you wish, PM me and I could contact the winery.
Also, keep your eyes open for the Xinomavro Reserve (Old Vines) by Alpha Estate . Their Hedgehog is already very nice however, and so are Thymiopoulos' wines.

EDIT: I seems the prices double up in order to reach you there
It happens to us too with bourbon and poker chips, if this is a consolation

Picking the community's brain for Australian Shiraz (other than Molly Dooker). Suggestions?

Our liquor stores are full of New Zealand SBs. Anybody have any particular recommendations?

I just wish their shipping wasn’t so high!

I agree, I get Rochioli, Selyem and Sea Smoke every year and shipping is a killer.
