Catching up on a couple. The Orleto is by Aia Vecchia. It’s definitely an easy drinker. It really isn’t special in any way, but a solid red. Last night we opened the 2019 Chasing Windmills. It’s very nice.

Allegedly, I have 4 bottles of Scarecrow 2021 M. Étain Cabernet Sauvignon being delivered today via Vine Vault refrigerated delivery, which I have never used for delivery before. I say “allegedly” because delivery is supposed to occur between 10 and 1, with a call from the driver in advance of delivery. It is now noon and no call yet, so we’ll see.

A little late but not bad - arrived on the right day.
What does everyone do with the paper wrappers when you get them? I usually throw the paper wrapper away to see the bottle and because I think the wrapped can lead to mold on the labels when stored in the wine fridge.

Knock on wood, I haven’t had an issue (yet) but I also haven’t stored bottles for multiple decades. I think the longest I have stored is about 10 years. I do keep an eye on the humidity level and check each bottle and cellar interior annually when I change the overpriced charcoal filter.

If you drink it fast enough, it's never a problem.

LOL!
But I've never heard of this wine fridge mold issue. We replaced a 36 bottle wine fridge with the one I posted earlier but I've never experienced mold, but then again we're in Colorado which is an arid climate to begin with. |

Me and my axr are finally together again. Both of these reds were wines we did barrel tastings of in July. I can’t wait to see what they taste like now. The chard is quite tasty, too. 3 bottles of each.

Looking at those fine coolers made me realize I needed one. Said it holds 166 bottles, but I don’t believe it. Also, last night was the Cyrus, tonight the AO Marston Vineyard.

Sweet cooler hubbahubb but as was pointed out earlier, they're never big enough!
Luke is too cute. Great dogs, used to have two of them, Chloe and Jake.

I researched wine coolers and saw that you could pay upwards for $5K or more but the Whynter model was highly reviewed and let's face it - if I get 5 years out of it before it fails I can buy another and still be cheaper than the hoighty-toighty brand names. |

Mrs H scored a deal from one of our distributors. She bought 18 bottles of “The Prisoner- Unshackled” for an average of $9.30/bottle. Normally around $25 at Total Wine, etc. It’s actually pretty decent after some good decanting time! Score!

You gotta fill up the empty spots in your new wine fridge! Nice score.
