Wine & Cigars

Quote- Shubby

under $15 wines...i like either lanessan or du tertre for a bordeaux...a good CdP when i'm itching for a grenache/syrah blend

for me, i don't enjoy the wine and cigar pairing. i prefer having a cigar after my meal/wine. for my palate, i find that even a mild cigar tends to overpower a full-bodied wine when the two are enjoyed side-by-side...do any of you get that?

i do enjoy having a well-aged tawny, lbv or vintage port with my cigar. i especially like the nuttiness of an old tawny with just about any cigar...complements and re-energizes my palate pretty well. my recent favorite is graham 20 yo tawny with just about any isom. i think it's the light, nutty, wet-earthy and sweet brandy aromas in the tawny that really get me excited when i match it with my smokes, helps me to zero in on the subtle flavors of a cigar...i highly recommend it!
