Decided to open a bottle after a hectic day in a hectic house with a young baby. Ignore the breast pump in the background.

    That’s a lot of mashed potatoes on that wine glass.

    Nose: Bright tart fruit, pomegranate, currant, floral notes like rose or peony

    Palate: Full-bodied, but ending lacking. End notes are slightly underwhelming.

    Overall, a good wine. Delicious with steak. Wouldn’t say it’s worth the price point.

    If you’re trying it, make sure to get a good helping of mashed potatoes on your rim. It adds a certain *je ne sais quoi.*

    I love that despite the situation, you are enjoying yourself. Spill or not, your meal looks delicious.

    But the win of having Dungeon Crawler Carl cancels out the bad juju so you’re all good!

    Here’s my 2c (worth more now that pennies are out of production? Doubtful). You knew it was very young, you knew (probably) that almost no wines are “worth” what GC burgundy fetches these days, and the potatoes were bound to mix with the vino eventually: might as well get a little finger-licking-goodness in the mix! Money comes and goes but shoehorning in the possibility of magic into a hectic life is a worthwhile pursuit. This is a win!

    Mashed potatoes broke the fall. That’s a win.

    Yeah.. those Brussels sprouts are clearly under seasoned.

    You haven’t lived until you’ve had brussel sprouts soaked in grand cru burgundy.

    Rest your steak and it won’t be in a pool of its own juices.

    Your red wine sauce is a bit thin

    Sloppy Steak: classy edition.

    They can’t stop you from ordering a steak and a fine wine.

    Before noticing the rest of the photo, I was like damn that’s one juicy steak

    Congrats on the baby. Drink all the dope wine now. You deserve it and babies are easy to hangout with hungover. Toddlers much less so. Especially when there’s multiple of them!

    At least the wine fell into the plate 🍷

    Some restaurant will make note of this and sell it as an experience

    I saw two very young people on a date in a nice restaurant once. They had steak and mashed potatoes and were both drinking Coca Cola. The guy accidentally spilled coke all over his meal and quickly picked up the cup. They were both so nervous about being in a nice restaurant that they somehow both were able to pretend it didn’t happen and he kept eating his food covered in soda. This post reminded me of that. Hope you took another bite just in case in tasted good

    It’s like a salt rim, you lick some tater then have a sip
