Who we are: We are retired gentlemen who enjoy the social aspect of good wine. We are fortunate enough to live in Northern California where wineries are within 60 minutes of our homes.
Our Rating Scale: As we are retired, counting higher than 20 challenges the concept of retirement. We also don’t want to use another group’s metrics because we haven’t put the energy into figuring them out. So a year ago, we created our wine rating system which we believe is more informative. We rate these wines both on value and enjoyment, using the day of the week:
Monday wine: Not drinkable, down the drain
Tuesday wine: Not really drinkable, may cook with it
Wednesday wine: If there isn't anything else, it can be the wine of the hour.
Thursday wine: A wine you would share with friends. You would buy this wine again.
Friday wine: A wine you would serve at a family or friends get together for dinner or social hour. You would buy a number of bottles to put away.
Saturday wine: A spectacular wine that you would serve to esteemed guests, family, or for a special occasion. You should buy as many bottles as you can afford.
Sunday: We enjoy what we have open.
Affiliations: We do not work for Costco or work for a winery or own a winery or vineyard.
Goal: Enjoy good wine with friends, share collectively what we have learned, and have fun.
