What's Gnarly Head Cabernet and Old Vine Zin like?

[kc7jty]

On sale this week but I have to buy 6 to get the deal, and never tasted it before.

When you do try it, let us know if the leaves on the label are telling.

[kc7jty]

I may not. Reviews say it's fruit forward. I like some oak in my big reds. Leaves or not.

I can't remember the name now. Bought a bottle of Zin at the liquor store. I like Zin (not white zin, bastardly stuff) and I was looking for something with more of the flavor of the grape. This stuff, store owner recommended, tasted just like the leaves. It's OK. Michael and I trade cigars whenever I come in, which isn't too often these days. It's easy to drink too much if you let it become a habit.

Whoa, it's like, gnarly, dude.

What year is it?

[kc7jty]

What year is it?
Looks like 2009 is the vintage in the store with it on sale. After all the discounts and rebate it'll come to $5/bot but I must buy 6.

Always felt the same about jerking off.

Always felt the same about jerking off.
We should all have goals.

[NA4BH]

Goals should not get in the way of drinking.

So, did it?

Its probably one of those reds that dialates all your blood vessels and makes you just wanna roll around naked in the lawn!

Homemade mead on a collage campus in early Spring. That's what helped the streaking craze of the 70s get its first initial push.
After that it was all meme.

[kc7jty]

Looks like I'm gonna let it pass. Sale ends tomorrow.

[W5GA]

Probably a good thing. It's still a bit young.

That's not a problem. I currently have over 100 bottles in my stash. Won't drink a big red unless it's at least 3 years old.

Or jerking off.


'jty...

Might be too late by now, but did you ask the merchant for a taste?

Using the Irish definition, that could be a winning deal if he grants it.

[kc7jty]

I made a move on 6 btls of Gnarly Head wine. 2 Cab, 2 Pinot Noir, 1 Old Vine Zin, & 1 red blend.
After all the discounts they are costing $4.18 each.
Won't be tasting any for at least 2 years.

[KG4CGC]

The Zin should be ready now. It will keep very well also.

[kc7jty]

They're all 2009 except the red blend which is 2010. Pretty green for me. I just finished off most (have 3 '06 Fetzer Cabernets I'm saving for roast beef this winter) of my 2006s today. An '07 Blackstone Cab is next in the chute.

I've had some really gnarly head over the years.
