From Cellar to Sea: Our Voyage Wine Picks

For my fellow vinophiles, I spent part of this morning perusing our wine cellar and curating the lucky bottles that get to join us on this voyage. Tough job, I know—but someone had to do it. πŸ˜‰

Here’s what made the cut:

2001 Gaja Sperss – Nebbiolo

2001 Ornellaia – Super Tuscan

2003 ChΓ’teau Lynch-Bages – Bordeaux

2005 Joseph Phelps Insignia – Cabernet Sauvignon

2008 Caymus – Cabernet Sauvignon

2012 Williams Selyem “Olivet Lane” – Pinot Noir

2013 Kosta Browne “Gary’s Vineyard” – Pinot Noir

2013 Tensley “Noir” – Syrah

2015 Tensley Colson Canyon – Syrah

2015 Ehret Hillside Select – Cabernet Sauvignon

2017 Uccelliera – Brunello di Montalcino

2017 Turtle Rock G2 – Syrah

Not a bad lineup for a few weeks at sea—now the hard part will be deciding when to open each one. πŸ·πŸ˜„
