Hey fellow Hivers! Christmas is right around the corner, and that only means one thing. It is the season of large format bottles of wine! What better way to show you care then bringing a Magnum size bottle of your favorite wine to a party? Well how about a double magnum? Yes indeed! 4 bottles of wine, all in one convenient over shaped glass bottle. Of course I am kidding, kind of.....
This is a bottle I come across a couple years ago. It was a gift from a customer here at work. They did not drink, and knew how much I love wine, and then gave me this very rare bottle. Small batch wine, as is all of Santa Cruz wines. Large formats are usually reserved for charity events, and judging by the lot number on the top of the bottle, I am assuming this is how it was acquired, via Silent Auction. But why would a winery want to bottle there wines in big bottles such as this besides to be the coolest person at the party? Well they age slower, since the amount of air is the same as a smaller bottle. Which is why I know this bottle of 1990 Chardonnay will be drinking for quite some time. Will it taste good? That window probably has passed, but no doubt will it be interesting! Now I just need to have an excuse to open 4 bottles of wine, all at once;) CHEERS!
Omg this looks amazing. Im really jealous of the big bottle. Hope it tastes good even tho it's due it's drinking window. But, I actually drank a 5 year old wine, who was stored in the living room (who is around 21 degrees), standing up! It was a bottle my boyfriend got in his old apartment, and he doesn't drink wine, so we kind of forgot it.
But the wine actually tasted good! It was a cheap bad whine I think tastes ok. Almost bad. I wouldn't have bought it myself, but it was surprising good. Deeper and rounder taste!
Pleas write an update on the wine! 😍 I'm looking forward to the review! 😃
Thanks for stopping by! And yeah I would say this age thing about wine is one reason why I am in love with it. The person who gave me this Double Magnum, also gave me a Magnum of 1998 Carmel Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which is a very small region local to me. That we opened, and I could not believe how fresh it was! It was a few years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday, so good! And Yes if we open it, which is hopefully soon I for sure will be doing a Hive post. :)

Making me very curious how a 30y old white wine can taste. All the freshness will be out and there's going to stay some heavy butter + oxidated taste in my opinion. So I wouldn't open the bottle I guess... And keep it as a collectors item. But if you do open it, please write an article about what you'll find inside!
Well I once had a bottle of 1990 super market Chardonnay, and since it was my wife's birth year, we decided to open it up a few years ago for fun. I thought surely it was not going to be good at all. But to my surprise it smelled like Butterscotch candy, and looked like honey. Such an interesting wine that I will never forget. So I am very interested in this big bottle. I am with you and keeping as a collectors item, but I really think opening up, and trying it out will create an ever lasting memory, and also a cool post! ;)
