Wine Appreciation: Carlos Serres Crianza 2017

Enough beer appreciation, here is wine appreciation, artistically performed on a bottle of Carlos Serres Crianza 2017.

A couple of wine lunches at our summer villa on successive days in August enjoyed by myself alone.

Actually Carlos Serres Crianza is highly rated on Wine Spectator, 90/100 for certain vintages, but not necessarily for this specific 2017 vintage which is said to be not up to par of the previous couple of vintage, having said that it seemed more than all right to me.

Using a lump of local produced mozarella cheese thing for food paring, I think it goes well with it, pretty subtle and does not interfere with the taste of the wine itself.

Here is who else liked:

A huge killer wasp, aka hornet, it appeared out of nowhere and dived into it seemingly on purpose.

I took it out with a fork after it had its fill and a good bath too, and the thing took wing and buzzed off, didn't even have to dry isself, the other day watched one of those pick a chicken bone clean.

Well, back to wine testing, and here is wine lunch No. 2 on the other half of the bottle, the next day.

Liked it as much on the second day if not more.

Locally produced here in Russia, with some blue mold cheese for food pairing; this is not so straightforward as the moldy thing has a strong taste which may go well with red wine on a contrast basis but not so good for taste-testing.

But I didn't have to do any taste-testing - as I already knew from the day before that it was pretty good.

Locally produced but very good, and believe you me, I know what good blue moldy cheese tastes like.
