2018 Youngberg Hill Natasha Pinot Noir

Image
  Don't worry wine snobs.  Not all great wines have corks.  The  2018 Youngberg Hill Natasha Pinot Noir is a screwtop but there is nothing screwy about this wine!  Blueberry compote, leather bound book, wet stone and barn dust are prevalent on the nose.  You really get lost in the aromas of this juice and we found our noses in the glass repeatedly!  Berry cobbler, mocha and ripe plum dance on the palate with a firm but not overbearing acidity.  Medium and memorable finish puts this wine in a "must buy" Oregon Pinot category.  It's quite lovely! ABV:  14.0% McMinnville, OR Production:  600 cases Suggested retail price:  $65.00 Drink The Bottles score:  92/100

The Project

Drink The Bottles wine blog project

After a hiatus for a couple of years, we are super exited to be writing about wine again on this blog - Drink The Bottles.  We are going to share some of our favorite wines with you here and hope that we can go through this wonderful journey together.  The wines featured on Drink The Bottles will cover all varietals and price points.  In other words, there will be something for everyone!

How did we get here?  Previously, we owned and wrote about wine and wine education on our previous wine blog, Midwest Wine Guy.  Back then, life was coming at us at about 200 miles per hour and we simply couldn't give everything that we wanted to the project.  Fast forward a couple of years and it is time to write again, not get overwhelmed and enjoy this wonderful world of wine!

The wines are why you're here, right?  We're not going to fill this page with fluff.  This wine blog is where you will discover the best wines to drink alone, drink with a friend or save for a rainy day.  You'll also get informative and entertaining articles about the wine industry.  We present to you......Drink The Bottles wine blog.

Have a favorite wine?   Tell us about it and it may be featured here!

Destination: Portugal - Wine Tastings & Mysterious Tales

Spring is the most pleasant time of the year. Days start to get longer and warmer, and spending time outside suddenly feels very inviting. The green gets greener, the blue sky turns brighter and flowers blooming everywhere it all seems magical. Well, and it is, at least here in Portugal! Porto  is Portugal's second largest city and was elected  Best European Destination 2017  and  awarded as European Leading Destination 2018 . Every year the city attracts thousands of tourists eager to discover the ancient downtown, the typical riverside with colorfully painted houses, to get lost in century old streets, to enjoy the Portuguese cuisine and, of course, to taste wine. It´s great to be outdoors during the spring months. To take a walk along the lavish green Douro's landscape taking your time to relax or to sail the Douro River and breathe for a while. Moreover, if you are thinking that the perfect setting would include a Port Wine tasting and maybe some delicious food a

2014 The Shepherd Estate Red

Once in awhile you pop and cork and get so excited because of the incredible color that is displayed on the cork.  When I pulled the cork out of this 2014 The Shepherd Estate Red wine, I knew I was in for a real good time!  Seriously, it was incredible.  Check out the picture HERE and I know you'll appreciate what I'm talking about.  So, I was completely unfamiliar with Shepherd Wines until I received this bottle.  Shepherd Wines is an offspring of my friends at Truchard Vineyards .  They currently offer 2 wines under the Shepherd label - a Sauvignon Blanc and this Estate Red. Seldom do I open a wine, roll my eyes skyward and then clinch a fist in pleasure before  tasting the wine.  But that is exactly what has happened here.  Before I get into that, I have to tell you that I literally cannot wrap my head around the fact that this wine has a $20 price point.  This wine is clearly worth at least twice that price and with just over 1000 cases produced, this is a wine t
