Cheers to buying the dip!

Before I truly embraced bitcoin my shitcoin was wine. I bought and sold wine from allocations I spent years on the waiting list to get. I have finally sold 99% of all my cellar and gave my allocations away.

For the past 10yrs it’s given me so much. In that time I was able to stack sats with my profit and learned so much about wine I became a certified sommelier, viticulturist and home winemaker in the process. Years of dedication and commitment to learning beyond cooking has brought me to this moment. Remember to treat yourself to a something special every once in a while to remind yourself that it’s the journey which offers the tertiary notes of life. The end goal will always move further away, so take note of when something ends because it is the beginning of your next chapter.

Stay humble and stack sats.

2006 Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne.

Notes:

Beautiful stone fruits, toasted hazelnuts, citrus blossom, and brioche. It shows the opulent side of the 2006 vintage with plenty of richness from extended lees contact, yet it has bright acidity, a tight, reserved style, and a great finish. Bubbles were surprisingly strong for a 20yr old champagne. Not the my favorite vintage champagne producer in the world but definitely never disappoints!

Wine priced in sats:

Allocation in September 2015 for $240 USD.

Sats price at purchase:

1.1 BTC.

Priced in USD/BTC today : $113,284.94/1.1BTC - Block Height 907,111

My favourite champagne 🍾

Cheers 🥂

Never disappoints, vintage champagne is the most underrated style of wine imho. Drink some of that Assuie old vine, own rooted Grenache monsters for me nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r

One can never get enough of champagne!

Aussies don’t make the best wines, sadly, I much prefer Pinot Noir from New Zealand and champagne from Champagne region!

Tasmania has beautiful Pinot Noirs to check out! Barossa Valley has amazing Shiraz and Grenache, some of the best new world styles with own rooted vineyards dating back to before Phylloxera destroyed all of Europes old root stock. And the only wine region in Australia I have visited, the Margaret River which grows everything of deliciousness! Australia is a hidden gem of the wine world!

Yeah I guess I just need to find the hidden ones 🫡

I visited the Hunter Valley many years ago loads of times, at that time I enjoyed some of the boutique Shiraz wines.

I have heard Margaret River has phenomenal wines.

Agree Tassie Pinot Noirs are beautiful. If you get the chance try some from the Adelaide Hills (Ashton Hills is beautiful).

Barossa is amazing. The small boutique wines are often the best. Cellar door only.

We tend to export our bulk produced wine and keep the best for locals.

My favourite wine is Wild Witch from Kellermeister. It’s a Barossa shiraz and it’s superb. Having said that, everyone’s taste buds are different!

What I love about SA wine is their constant innovation. We have a dedicated wine research institute that regularly runs blind tastings to test new grape varieties, the impact of tasting notes and blind tastings to match with food types. I’m a very willing Guinea pig!

I love that you are a chef and a sommelier!!! Guessing that would make you excellent at wine food pairings! đź’ś

Looking for any recommendations friend

Hi nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r

If you are near a Dan Murphy’s I would recommend these SA wines:

Whites

Shaw and Smith Sav Blanc

Chalk Hill Vermentino (crisp)

Chalk Hill Fiano

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay (I’m not a big Chardy fan but this one is actually good)

Yalumba Virgilius Viognier (pricey for a white but it’s yum)

Reds

Ashton Hills Estate Pinot Noir

Kay Brothers Basket Press Shiraz (good value for $)

Bowen Estate Cab Sav (good value for $)

Chateau Tanunda old vine Cab Shiraz

Saltram Mamre Brook Shiraz (this one is not for everyone as it’s very minerally and so feels a little chalky. It’s definitely a love it or hate it scenario. I love it)

d’Arenberg Derelict Vineyard Grenache (if you can find it)

Kellermeister Wild Witch Shiraz $$ Penfolds St Henri Shiraz $$

Rockfords (all their reds - much cheaper and better range direct from them. Their Sparkling red is amazing) $$$

These are just some of the wines I like, but they will not be tasty to everyone.

Best way to try SA wines is to come and visit! When you are feeling better and it’s not so cold here, come for a wine tasting holiday!

And now I feel like a glass of wine!!!!! 🍷

Hopefully your able to enjoy that with someone.

Enjoying with my wife while my children wreck the house in glory around us!

I’ve never had that or a good champagne. Very curious though.

Andre Clouet & Chartogne-Taillet are a great place to start.

This hits hard

I am lucky i have no class enough to taste the difference, bubbly grape juice = bubbly grape juice.

Although there is only one bitcoin
