2010 Bogle Phantom


Opened up a 2012 Bogle Phantom last evening to go with the Tri-Tip that I threw on the BBQ.  Just finishing up the last few glasses this afternoon while I tend the BBQ once again for Chicken Breasts (for salads later this week) and Pork Chops (for tonight's dinner).

This red is comprised of Old Vine Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Old Vine Mourvedre and is aged in American Oak for 2 years.  Great notes of dark red fruit and a superb backbone of Cigar and Cedar make this a wonderful blend.  I've loved the winery's Essential Red and a reader (Jim) recommended that I step up to the "Big Brother" of that wine, the Phantom.  I am glad that he did! This one goes for just under $20 and is well worth it.

Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout


A beautiful day out here in California - should hit around 64 degrees - strange for mid February. Nevertheless, I've retreated to the Pinhead Studios for a bit of Pinball and Stout.  Opened up a Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout this afternoon to go with a game of Target Pool.  Really intense Milk Chocolate flavors in this one.  I love their Oatmeal Stout - I call it a Meal in a Bottle as it is nice and hearty. This one is Dessert in a Bottle.  In fact, I'll be corking up the remainder to have after dinner with some leftover Valentines Day chocolates.  Highly recommended if you are in the mood for a Sweet Stout.


Had the pleasure of attending the Bay Area Record Fair yesterday afternoon and had a blast.  The highlights for me:

1 - Digging through the 45 boxes under the Alternative Tentacles table and finding some Gems.  Now, a sign hanging off the table stated that this was stuff from Jello Biafra's record collection! Picked up a mint copy of the Ghastly Ones EP and a nice Rocket From the Crypt bootleg.  Two bucks a piece - I think they were a bargain.


2 - Seeing Dog Party live.  The band delivered the goods - screaming guitar, a massive solid beat and some great harmonies - loved their version of X's Los Angeles and the title track from their new album (Lost Control) was stellar.


3 - Some great swag was given away by the record labels - pins, stickers, coupons, etc.  Love it!

2012 Santa Julia Innovacion Tempranillo Malbec


A Rainy Sunday here today - time to stay in and enjoy a hearty Argentinian Red.  This one is from the Saint Julia Winery and is a 2012 blend of Tempranillo and Malbec.  Now, I enjoyed the winery's Malbec back in November of 2012 and have been itching to try more from the winery located in the Mendoza region of Argentina.

This blend is really interesting - lotsa blackberry notes from the Tempranillo and a nice backbone of smokiness from the Malbec.  The winemakers used a very light hand in the aging of the wine - not much oak which brings out a nice freshness to the wine.  I'll be going back to my local Whole Foods to try the rest of the Red Innovacion wines - I believe they have a few more interesting blends to try.  Very reasonable priced at around a tenner for the 1 Liter bottle.

Below is a video from the winery recommending some tasty looking tapas to go with the wine - me? - not so fancy - just a nice hearty Lasagna last night and leftovers tonight.  What is is about Lasagna that it tastes better the next day? - continued blending of the flavors, I'm thinkin'.
