Wine Of The Moment
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Marry Me…Again – 2019; Parr Vineyards; Mason, Texas
The Hickory Sands has done wonders for this wine as well as
honor the story behind the label name. If happiness is your game, then you’ll
be extra pleased with this Touriga/Mourvèdre red blend. Aged and fermented in
large French oak vats for about two and a half years has been a blessing to
this jewel. Expect initial notes of dark
fruit and elegant floral aromas, followed by a hint of spice as you take your
first sip. There is some spice up
front on that first sip followed by good acids and a touch of vanilla. Let’s mark this beauty at medium bodied for
this six year old bottle and a big “cheer” all around!
