I know exactly what your thinking, where the heck have I been since August 20, 2012? Well let me tell you... it has been a little crazy. My blog was hacked and my address book was erased, so I started writing a different blog, but I have decided to come back to this one, my true calling, $10 bottles of wine that drink much richer! And then this...
I have been a runner all of my life, I started on the Junior High cross-country team and never stopped. I ran all through school and also competitively after school. I have always taken great care of my health, eat right, run, lift weights, drink red wine. Never smoked cigarettes, no drugs... for the most part, a healthy life style.
So Friday August 24th starts out like any other Friday, I get up at 430AM, put on my running garb and out the door I go for a fast 3 miler. I finish my run, lift a few weights, hit the shower, get dressed, have breakfast, and out the door I go! So far, pretty normal.
I arrive at work around 730AM, start my day and everything is moving along as it should. Around 10:30AM, I take a break to check voicemail, make phone calls, etc when I notice my left hand is numb. Strange I thought, but hey, stranger things have happened. Shortly, it goes away. I reach down to a small refrigerator to retrieve a yogurt and I get a little twinge in my chest, nothing big, just a little tightness. I stand up, and it goes away. Of course, I'm thinking it was simply muscular since I completed a new weight exercise that morning, no big deal. (By now, you know where this is going) Another 10 minutes goes by and all of a sudden I break out in a sweat like I just ran 5 miles! I go into the restroom, splash some cold water on my face, and poof, I stop sweating. Now at this point, I'm thinking what is going on? I can't be having a heart attack! I just ran 3 miles a few hours earlier, hard, my heart rate was up to 150-160! I begin to pace a bit, and all of these thoughts are running through my head... still I can't be having a heart attack! Well the rest is history! Yes I was, in fact, I was having what the medical field calls the "widow maker"! I was rushed to the emergency room and the team of doctors and nurses saved my life! By a hair! So... that's where I have been! Now let's read on!
My review today is a beautiful Bordeaux, Chateau Mylord, at Binny's for around $10! You will not regret this purchase!
This is a nice dinner wine after a long decant, it opened up rather nicely. Blackberries and a touch of leather with spice on the nose, and a palate of dark fruit and earth. Tannins were soft and balanced, but the wine was a bit thin at the finish. But again, not bad for the money!
It's not every day you find a Bordeaux of this quality for this money! Cheers!
