LOVIN the ENERGY GV!!! Rock it out man! QOTD: Mounton Cadet – 10 bones 2009 bordeaux – Baron Philippe De Rothschild. Was a decent wine, deff didnt rock my socks off, but also didnt make me want to put a pazzzzz on it. A run of the mill good ol red, I will be drinking it again tonight, maybe it will open up!

Hey Gary,

Thanks for hosting! Here is our contribution with a 2004 Augustus from Cellars Puig i Roca in D.O. Penedes. Sure, it may not be French, but it was the best we could find in our little pueblo in Spain 😉
