I am not a connoisseur of anything let alone an elitist. Jokes aside, without the connoisseurs pushing things nothing would be any good. I do drink my wine from a coffee mug though….usually even rinse it out.
What is so interesting is that in many Bordeaux, coffee is a desired secondary characteristic. It sounds like you’ve found a way to get that flavor, without the expense of buying Bordeaux. Two buck chuck from the morning coffee mug will do the trick.
On a lark I opened a bottle of 2BC last night. It wasn’t bad at all, considering it had sat in my kitchen windowsill for over 2 years.
