āGarden hoseā, means that the fermentation got too hot and is a typically a white wine flaw. It does happen when light skin red grapes get too hot during fermentation as well. š
Typically I find earth tones to be on the nose not the palate. These types of aromas are thought to be microbe-derived and secondary aromas (derived from fermentation and yeast).
Fun to think about. If the US treasury starts to sell gold then I would be inclined to believe.
Not sure yet, waiting for the kids to wake up. Probably scrambled eggs and avocado or oat congee.
Peony Lane, 2021 Cabernet Franc, Paonia, West Elks AVA, Colorado. 5,680 FT Elevation.
Second wine from @BenJustman This Cab. Franc is a perfect match of its terroir. May I dare say on par with the some of best Cabernet Franc of Loire and right bank Bordeaux. It definitely seems like a perfect fit for the region.
Notes:
This Vintage of Cabaret Franc is full bodied, brilliant acidity and plush tannin structure with a rich finish that stays with the palate. Open aromas on the nose that scream perfectly ripe red fruit and complexity. Cabernet Franc seems at home in this high elevation region producing a pure example of the grape. Overall an exceptional wine worth letting open up for 1hr before it really starts to show but approachable right at opening. Definitely worth aging 7-10yrs plus if you are willing to wait. This vintage will definitely evolve beautifully over time.
Pairings:
Grilled Ribeye with balsamic reduction. Smoked BBQ Pork Ribs with South Carolina style mustard bbq sauce. Rillettes de Tours, blood sausage and charcuterie. Grilled Lamb Chops with rosemary or Duck Confit with chanterelles beurre blanc.
My Tasting Grid Notes

Is there such a thing? I want to make a pot roast next winter using a good slow cooked red sauce instead of the traditional beef gravy.

You could definitely do a pot roast with this recipe you attached! Beef and red sauce are a match made in heaven. The beef would complement the tomato based sauce and vice versa. If you are making this sauce I would sear off your beef of choice then make the sauce with the fond from the meat. Then just make the sauce and place the beef back in then cook away low and slow. Use a Dutch oven or just do on the stove top. 6hrs seems excessive, 2hrs is usually enoughā¦

Iām going to pitch that to her.
Has anyone tried a beef based protein powder? (Like this: https://www.equipfoods.com/products/prime-protein-beef-isolate-protein?variant=42042295582898)
If so, did you like it?
Context: I feel like absolute garbage. I've never liked meat and won't eat it. But I'm willing to try something like this to feel better. My joints hurt. My energy levels suck. I'm sore a lot. It's hard to focus. I'm irritable. I think I'm just malnourished but I have an appointment scheduled for an exam, labs, etc.
I do eat eggs and butter. I just started using whey isolate and collagen from Transparent Labs and some other gap fillers, but it seems like beef powder would have more built into one product since it's the whole animal.
Thoughts and opinions appreciated.
Bone broth is a collagen powerhouse, nutrient rich and helps with gut health from gelatin.
1976 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Finally opened last night! Wine Priced in sats:
.00942906 sats @ current BTC price or $830 chuck bucks.
Original purchase price of $650 in October 2017 ($6,468ish per BTC) or .1005 sats! What a difference 8yrs makesā¦ #winestr #wine #vino
The 1976 ChĆ¢teau Mouton Rothschild, while past its prime, still offers a glimpse of its former greatness. Deep ruby color with a slight water rim, and a nose featuring summer savory and dried thyme, spices like clove and star anise, fine tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, red fruit, mushroom and oxidized kirsch, beautiful acidity, and fine tannins, with a rich finish. Tertiary notes of nutty aroma and a touch of caramel, over ripe black truffle adding to its complexity. A fun experience but probably should have drank it when I purchased the bottle.
