Drinking 2021 Trapiche Malbec Broquel -Dark in the glass with tons of dark fruit: cassis, plum, blackberry; there is also a load of spice: black pepper, clove, anise, and even some herbal notes (basil, thyme, mint). 89 Points. #wine

Drinking 2021 Belles d'Eguilles Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence - #wine cellartracker.com/w?4279803

Drinking 2021 Vignobles Paradis Feu Follet -Retail $28. Synthetic stopper. 60% Grenache Noir, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carignan, 10% Syrah. Second bottle, marginally better, but that is enough to get it to the grand ol' 90. Félicitations! 90 Points. #wine

Drinking 2021 Château Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé -the whole debacle (understatement) that is going on with the whole Brangelina thing. Ugh, what a disaster. But the wine is Outstanding and I hope it survives. But I am not holding my breath on that one. Ugh. 93 Points.

Tasting 2021 Château de Trinquevedel Tavel - I bought a few of these when there was a rosé sale at H-E-B (I love my H-E-B). Wow, this wine is fantastic. 93 Points. #wine

Drinking 2021 Tongue Dancer Pinot Noir Fox Trot -do yourself a favor: decant while watching one episode of your favorite binge-worthy show. Drink during the second. Thank me during the third. Cheers. 95 Points. #wine

Tasting 2013 Jean-Luc Colombo Cornas Les Terres Brulees -The palate is reserved, for sure, but lacks the barnyard aspect that the nose portends. Good plum, blackberry, plenty of earth, spice, and tartness. Outstanding. 93 Points. #wine

The problem with chaos is that you become very good at it. Soon - the idea of calm is not only unattractive. It's death. Life becomes war. Spoils are monumental. Uncertainty supreme. It’s life. The alternative is death.

“And ˹remember˺ when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more. But if you are ungrateful, surely My punishment is severe.’”
