2005 Cheval + 2016 Realm Houythi
Cheval pairs best with a quarter pounder with cheese. Intense red fruit, cinnamon spice, some tertiary flavors but not much funk, beautifully integrated oak and tannins. Medium body and acid. Balanced as all things should be.
Realm was an immediate concentrated blast of dark red fruit, blueberry, honey. Had it second and hard to remember much about it despite it being fantastic.

Anyone else getting “Sideways” vibes here 😍 ?
I’m here for this! I once had a Chave Hermitage with a crunch wrap supreme. Go on my king!
Remind me of a Robert Foley cab and buffalo chicken dip. Trashy pairings are pairings too.
Uhh, you okay?
Hell yeah
Incredible you guys have the buying power to afford the best wines in the world but cant cook properly to pair the wines. Amazing.
No fucking way… why would you those fries with the wrong pairing hmmm
A quarter pounder with cheese should be paired with a white wine and I’ll die on that hill.
Bad burger, bad french fries, bad ketchup with exceptional wine? Why?
Absolutely amazing UNLESS you had ketchup with either wine in which case jail
Fuck yah!!!! You know what’s up. Best post on this sub in a while.
Great combo! Judging from the responses I got to posting a picture of beans on toast with a 1986 claret, you can expect some robust comments from France.
Gosh people in this sub are so boring.
This is great. Well done.
Not worried about the wine. More worried about your moobs.
