Wine Review: Domaine de Châteaumar Cuvée Vincent Sélection Côtes-du-Rhone 2017


Châteaumar had been around since the 11th century and has been passed down for generations within the family, now with Jen-Feix and Frederic Souret managing he vineyards today. Their estate is located in the heart of Côtes-du-Rhone, just outside or Orange, where they have 25 acres on stony clay-limestone soil. They also own 12 acres in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

While this Côtes-du-Rhone is from southern Rhone, which is normally mostly Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault blended in there, while it's northern Rhone that's all about the Syrah, this guy breaks the mold and is made from 100% Syrah. The vines are 50 years old or older on parcels that border Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the vineyards are sustainably farmed, and the wine spends 8 to 10 months aging in concrete tanks.

Slayer, South of Heaven
Tonight I'm writing this review to Slayer's South of Heaven. I listened to my share of Slayer in my youth but I'm not sure how I missed this album way back when. A colleague of mine suggested that I give it a listen and it is fantastic! It's a less thrashy, slower paced Slayer album (which definitely appeals to older me) but it's still metal as fuck and such a good pairing with reviewing some kickass Syrah. Yeah, I know, I'm not normal. You can listen to the whole album via the music selection playlist on my YouTube channel.

So the color of the wine is a deep ruby red with purple highlights. The blueberry pie, baking spices and all, on the nose is freakin' brilliant! There's also blackberries, leather, a hint of anise, and even a little stank. That is one killer nose.

When I first tasted this I found that it was a bit muted on the palate so I stuck it in the fridge for a bit to give it a slight chill while I played air guitar and stage dived onto the couches. My wife came into the living room but I couldn't hear what she said over the headphones but whatever, that's not important. What's important is that slight chill made a world of difference and really brought some life out. It's medium bodied with soft but chalky tannin, and there's flavors of blackberries, plums, cola, and black pepper. Then it finishes chalky with black licorice and black pepper.

Shit yeah. That's some damn good old world Syrah, my friends. For $18 it's a hell of a deal.

  3. I made an initial investment of roughly $380,000 on a binary option platform. After several transactions, I chose to withdraw my money because according to the website I had made a lot of profits, however the withdrawal was unsuccessful. I made several attempts in contacting them but it all failed. I made every effort and filed a report to recover my money by contacting the police department in charge of investigating fraudulent situations, but nothing was successful. Since my attempt with the police failed, I tried other possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I reached out to a hacker whose reviews I had read online; Century Hackers Recovery, I contacted him via his email on:century@cyberservices.com He came in handy and at the right time. He rescued me from these shady investment schemes with the help of their top-notch services. I got my funds back as well as my peace of mind.

  4. Investing in cryptocurrency is a good idea. At the start of my cryptocurrency journey, I invested in a faux trading company who took over 90,000 Dogecoin and 2 BTC from me. It was a hell of a time for me, I was in urgent need for a recovery expert to get my funds and Century Hackers Recovery came to my rescue. He was useful from the point of contact to the end when he retrieved my funds from the bogus company and placed me on a genuine trading platform where I earned lot of profits. I’ll urge you to use the services of Century Hackers if you are in a similar situation which I was at that time. Send a mail today Via century@cyberservices.com WhatsApp; +31 (622) 673-038

  5. DO YOU WANT TO GET YOUR STOLEN BTC,USDT, OR ETH BACK? The feeling of losing one’s cryptocurrency can be extremely distressing, especially since it is nearly hard to get back a lost or stolen cryptocurrency coin. All that crosses a person’s mind when they are defrauded of their money when investing on a cryptocurrency platform is how to report the company and recover their losses. The majority of scam victims get in touch with their bank, wallet account provider, or law enforcement; a small number even hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against the business, but despite all of this stress, they still aren’t able to get their money back. Please, everyone should exercise caution when making financial investments. The use of cryptocurrency has made a great deal of people wealthy but also broke and desperate. I was referred to CENTURY HACKERS RECOVERY a few weeks ago, and with their help, I was able to recover every USDT coin that had been stolen. CENTURY HACKERS RECOVERY is a trustworthy and sincere company that I suggest if you want to recover your lost or stolen cryptocurrency. contact CENTURY HACKERS RECOVERY via email at Email (century@cyberservices.com ) WhatsApp : +14136316896
