Quintarelli

I made my last meal before my juicing/detox efforts. It was pretty mean!

And all washed down with an 1999 Italian merlot by famed winemaker Quintarelli. May he rest in peace. It has turned the coolest brownish red shade, (reds turn slightly brown as they age), and had this delicious juicy mouthfeel. AND I’m not sure if this is just a trait of higher end Italian Merlots but it smelled simply wonderful…meaty and fruity and big! It reminded me of one I smelled months ago that costed $300 smackaroos and hopefully will taste like this Quintarelli in nearly a decade. Fun times in a bottle for $43; which ain’t that bad!
