It’s crazy to think we’ve known @unpinnedwine Ashwin for a couple years now but have never met in real life! It was very cool tasting through some awesome wines during his first Tasting Tour! Can’t wait for next year’s!

@stopwastingyourwine picked The Boxer 2023 .. and… well…how could I resist? I came home ready to spar with my wine stash and ended up pouring the 2013 Boxer instead. Still packs a 🥊 🥊

I almost went Penfolds (the Shiraz, not the cab blend … don’t @ me), or even The Scooter (Merlot) for a joyride, but if the podcast’s reviewing the new vintage, I’m sipping part of the OG left-hook legacy! (Their first version the OG OG 2005 sold out in 19 days!!).

The 2013 is all velvet gloves, knockout finish. A decade + in the corner and it comes out strutting like ‘you know you missed me.’ If confidence were a Shiraz, this bottle would be giving motivational speeches.

Nose (the wine speaking):
“You swirling me like you’re auditioning for MasterChef .. relax. You didn’t even decant me yet. Amateur hour.”

Palate (still the wine):
“Yes, I’m rich and velvety. Meanwhile you’re out here pretending you ‘don’t drink that much.’ Sweetheart, I’ve watched your recycling bin.”

Finish (wine far more judgemental than my Indian amma):
“I’m lingering because I know you weren’t ready for me. Also, that glass you’re using? Not even the right shape. But go off, sommelier.”

@mollydookerwines isn’t just wine .. it’s story, swagger, and the kind of label art that makes you grin before the first sip. I’ve got a soft spot too … visited in 2013 and loved every moment. Cheers to Sarah & Sparky for making wines that feel like old friends with great punchlines. 😉 😘

Tried Trader Joe’s Trading Post Napa Cab 2023 because someone swore it was “actually good,” plus… this bottle looked me dead in the eye like, “I’m Napa. I’m serious. I’m grown‑up juice.”

Then I opened it and it immediately gave blazer‑with‑cargo‑shorts energy. It tastes like blackberry jam, vanilla frosting, a melted Hershey bar, and a 2x4 got blended together while someone whispered “Napa Valley” for legal reasons.

Yes, it’s technically better than 19 Crimes and Apothic Red… but only in the way a motel waffle is better than gas‑station sushi.

Did I drink the whole bottle? Of course. Did it get better on day two? Absolutely not … it aged like a banana in a hot car. I even found myself whisper‑apologizing to my 2008 Viña Real for this betrayal. Meanwhile the wine sat there tasting exactly the same as every other year, like the Pumpkin Spice Latte of Napa Cabs, mass‑produced and proud of it.

If you love it, sante .. really. But if you want the full unhinged saga (the Yelp meltdown, the MLM‑berry‑smoothie comparisons, the moment I questioned my life choices), click here for deets. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Also @stopwastingyourwine … @unpinnedwine … I need your professional emotional support on this Cabernet crime scene.

And @dinivinogram @brothaofbacchus @mahenszey @msed87 @nanjistan @allieb37 I need MY wine people to weigh in … thoughts, opinions, emotional damage assessments? If you want to explain what in the MLM‑berry‑smoothie hell I just drank, I’m listening. I’m opening the floor … is this a teachable moment or a cautionary tale?

DC is still out here treating snow like it’s an unsolvable riddle from a fantasy novel…”What is this… frozen water? How does one… remove it?”…while I’ve been shoveling like a gladiator training for the Winter Olympics. Four rounds in one day. FOUR. I did it the day it snowed and before it turned to ICE. My walkway is so clear it could host a Michelin‑star pop‑up. Meanwhile, the rest of DC looks like someone hit “pause” on a blizzard and never came back.

But inside? Oh honey, it’s Rioja season and I’m thriving. And not just any Rioja….my long‑term relationship, my comfort blanket in bottle form, my “yes I keep a case at home because I’m a responsible adult” Viña Alberdi. @lariojaaltasa is divine. Their wines are so consistently good it’s suspicious. Like… how are you this perfect every year? Witchcraft? Spanish magic? I don’t care, keep doing it. Tasting notes while I sip on this icy DC day:

• Red cherry doing a dramatic soap‑opera entrance
• Vanilla giving me soft‑focus romance‑movie lighting
• Oak whispering “you’ve earned this, mami”
• And an overall vibe of “I shoveled my own sidewalk and now I’m basically royalty”

@aaronchilelli @stopwastingyourwine said this wine is the bomb, and honestly? He undersold it. This wine is the bomb, the fuse, the explosion, AND the slow‑motion action shot afterward. It’s amaze. It’s elite. It’s giving “Spain is calling and I must answer,” even though I’m stuck in a city that thinks plowing is a suggestion.

Everything Spain? Yes. Everything liquid grape? Also yes…well, almost everything, let’s not pretend I haven’t made mistakes.

So cheers to me, my shovel, my clear sidewalks, and my very full glass. DC may not know how to handle snow, but I sure know how to handle Rioja.
