Self bump with a pic of the red wine : Bordeaux Saint-Emilion, château Quentin de la Tour 1995

Now see? Why can't I walk down to my local bakery and pickup a fresh, high quality baguette and a variety of well made cheeses without living in an urban megalopolis?

And here is a pic of my cat before he disappeared a week ago. Cheer me up please I'm feeling sad.

I live in a small village but there is an open-air market that sells good cheese, so I'm lucky!
And I took the bottle because it's my year of birth and 1995 was a pretty good vintage.

I also have this : tapenade with truffles but I dont know what to do with it...

looks tasty as fuck OP, enjoy.

You got some grapes to freshen the palate up?

>>8876491
Thank you anon !
Unfortunately no, I don't have any grape...
I was thinking to put some super thin slices of red apple to freshen the whole thing

>>8876424
Nice baguette also. Pretty jealous I had rice, onions, carrots and beans.

Time to open the bottle !

>>8876530
Seems like a healthy dish, simple and tasty

>>8876541
What the hell is this James Bond crap... I hope the wine is still good, being from 1995 and all.

I let it oxygenate a bit... It smells mushrooms, smoke and cherry

>>8876558
Ahah I know, it's too much "gadget", but this bottle opener is perfect for old wines with fragile corks.

Hope too that the wine is still good but it should be ok, as it's a good vintage

Post more pics of baguette plz.

How/where did you just buy a bottle of wine from 1995 on a whim and what did you pay?

>>8876424
how much was the wine?

>>8876635
>>8876650

Around 60 euros each (bought 3 of them).
I've tasted it, it's quite strong but its flavour is complex (black cherry, chocolate, tobacco) so I'm enjoying it a lot !

For me the best baguette is the Tradition 1900 from my local bakery.

>>8876457
Kot is probably just visiting Patti.
The OP from the Patti threads makes some of the only decent OC and kot knows this.
My advice is make a tasty dish and post it on here and kitty will come home.

>>8876702
So good, thanks

>>8876704
You're probably right, I will try tomorrow !

>>8876487
On toast with some garlic or ham?

>>8876457
He'll be fine. Cats are smart and tough. I hope he comes back to you.

>>8876747
I've just tried it with toasted bread, and it's a bit disappointing... It doesn't taste like truffle at all, it's just an expensive tapenade.
I like the idea of putting ham (it already has garlic in it), I will experiment, thank you !

>>8876752
Thanks anon

>>8876764
Use iberico ham and some manchego cheese. Go full spanish.

>>8876457
There is no amount of wine and cheese you can buy that will make you forget about your dead cat.

To conclude, I've had :
- Cheddar (semi-old)
- Pecorino Romano
- Ossau Iraty with Espelette pepper :
- Claouzou
- Valençay
- Camembert
- Mimolette(semi-old)
- Tomette de brebis

Cheese was super tasty, wine too (it just doesn't get along with camembert)

Thank you all, I might do an update tomorrow

>>8876799
Hope my cat is still alive

>>8876424

now i'm craving some mimolette

>>8876783
I have some Basque cheese (Ossau Iraty and Tomette de brebis) so it might do the job... Thanks for the tip

>>8876820
This one was particularly good, as I don't like when it's too young (it doesn't have any taste) or too old (impossible to cut and too dry).

Semi-old is the best one, it starts to have this strong hazelnut taste that I love.

>>8876832

stahp, i can almost feel the waxy, creamy goodness in my mouth
