Well, you're gonna need something to drink with all those cigars. It's all about the marketing and sales pitch. That's how I justify my ridiculous spending. Not sure how prices are out west, but it was just under $40 for the bottle here.

If it is along the lines of the Zacapa, it is well worth it. My buddy is in St. Maarten right now so I will be getting a new bottle of rum when he returns on the 15th, can't wait. I like free rum as much as I like free cigars, LOL. I do know he will be bringing back a bottle of Rum Jumbi which is a really good pre-mixed rum cocktail.
That's it... I gotta buy a bottle of this Ron zacapa!! Hays, make a trip down south bro!
Vinny, YOU REALLY REALLY NEED TO. Zacapa is a great rum, especially at the price point that it is. I have about 15 different bottles of rum in my cabinet but my hand ALWAYS finds the Zacapa........
nice wines you have there. I can't say I've enjoyed much of the 601 stuff. I like the blues and that's about it. Actually many may spit at me but I haven't been overly impressed with a lot of peppin's blends.
2008 Old Ghost - Old Vine Zinfandel - Nose of plum, boysenberry, oak and earth. Soft, dark fruit notes, followed by oak and pepper with soft tannins and a long, full-bodied finish. An excellent drinking wine now but will be even better in 5-7 years, allowing the acid to mellow a bit.
Chateau de Lescours, St Emilion Grand Cru - 2000 Bordeaux - The nose brought a strong must-like character with cork, earth and a very light perfume-like sweetness. Slightly thin on the pallet with notes of strong must, earth, leather and faint blackberry with a long, dry finish. This is not a fruity wine by a long stretch and needs considerable time to open up to the air before showing its potential (at least an hour or two).
2001 Chalone Vineyard Estate Grown Syrah - On the nose, this wine showcased a beautiful, sweet bouquet of plum, raspberry and cherry. On the pallet, notes of cherry and ripe, red fruit were met with bright acidity and youthfulness, yet strong tannin structure. A nice wine now but shows room for improvement over time. The acidity and tannins could still use a few years to mellow and round out.
Nice! Hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think of it. I'd love to see a review/full opinion on both of those. At that price, I personally would say it's a steal.
nice as always. hey btw there's a local vineyard that I go too every summer called pheasant (something like that) valley... they have a great Riesling, very fruity and crisp. If you can't find it around your, I'll mail you a bottle. It's one of my favorite light and fruity wines. btw, is your wine/liquor collection bigger than your cigar collection? You always have all these good things to talk about. I try but damn I can't keep up on all the goodies out there. I use to have a large wine selection but damn-nit, cigars took that over. And worse even, my wife likes wine and now it goes by twice as fast.. lol.
Might be it. There's a lot here near the gorge. Cathedral ridge makes one but I wasn't too fond of it. We picked up a case of that Riesling last summer, finished it off really quick.
