There has been a thought floating in my head every evening when I eat dinner. The place that wine plays in a meal. I did not web search what others would consider this nectar of the gods and how it fits into a meal and I did not actively consider it. Instead I let my soul do the deciphering and placing of where wine fits in a meal when properly paired. It is not a beverage one sips to enhance the meal, No. Is asparagus a vegetable you add to enhance a meal? Or sauted mushrooms with your steak? No. Wine is nothing more nor less than an additional course to the symphony that we wish we could all achieve at every meal. Tonight I opened a bottle of 2015 BX even though I have a bottle of 99 Barrels Pinot open. It just seemed to be the right time. I like to open a wine and test it without alteration (aerating or decanting) on the first sip. When first opened I smelled Earthy Cave and mushrooms, to me a sign of a wine I am going to go head over teakettle for. Color is dark garnet and when first poured into a glass I smelled Black Cherry and Plumbs. My first sip had even tannins and a medium to long finish with Dark Cherry and Tannins. Not surprising considering this wine is young and I had not been aerated or decanted. So I decanted a glass and sipped 99 Barrels Pinot while making my NY Sirloin and homemade potato chips (using purple meat potatoes). This full bodied wine with it's mouth full of flavor was the absolutely perfect combination with my dinner. The silky smooth sipping that I get from the older brother (2014 BX) is present when paired with a good heavy meal that puts the tannins in their place. I could not be happier, well okay I could be happier, it could be 6 months from now or 3 years from now when this wine will drink smoothly straight out of the bottle. But then that is what decanting an aerators are for. LOVE ME MY BX!!!!!!!

2016.03.10 Yesterday when I opened this bottle the first words out of my mouth were, "This is LOVELY!" I could smell pear and white grapes and it was so smooth I had a hard time noticing anything except the sunlight, minerals and slight hint of butter that hit the middle of my tongue. I had taco meat with monterey jack cheese for dinner (work day and they were leftovers) and the pairing brought forth a bit of oaky bite. It was a good match. The bottle has been in the Fridge for a day now and I just had a glass with my beef tenderloin cooked in Lemon Garlic Sriracha marinade and my crispy fried potatoes (coconut oil with olive oil is the key to do this properly if you are wondering) and the wine during the meal was clean and a bit more buttery than the day before but the minerals held up so sunshine was still present. Desert was a Butterfinger peanut butter cup and the wine liked that too. I am sorry I did not remember to take notes I was too enthralled with the moment. I smell minerals today (but I am recovering from a sinus infection) the flavor is buttery with minerals. It is smooth and refreshing and there is a crispness to the wine. So I will end as I began. This is LOVELY!!!! There are three more bottles in my basket and if you all buy it up before I get more I will be sad as this is my penultimate bottle. 8/11/16 This wine is refreshing and crisp while chilled but warms on a hot day to a mouth full of delicious wine. I still rate this as my favorite white of all time and hope that there is another vintage headed my way. I was not able to get more than the first two bottles and that is just a sad state of affairs. I had this bottle with BBQ Pork Ribs and Asparagus. I could smell and taste grapefruit, pear and honeysuckle. The color was golden yellow with a hint of spring green. Legs were fast and finish was medium. I just had to finish the bottle.
