Oh, my. Pinch me because I think I’m dreaming! I have unearthed the holiest of holy grails. Right here in Washington. Finally.
Do you know how long I’ve searched and searched (and searched) online for Eben Sadie’s Sequillo? FOR-EV-ER!
No kidding. I’ve been on an epic quest to find another bottle of Sequillo since tasting it oh-so-long-ago, around Thanksgiving of 2008.
Sure, there are bottles to be had in California, New York, Illinois and even Indiana. If money were no object, I would have had a case shipped months ago. I, however, was looking locally, which was proving an arduous task.
Today, I searched on Snooth.com and one of their partner sites unearthed two bottles at Compass Wines in Anacortes! (Did I mention I’m on their mailing list?) Jobless and scraping pennies, I felt a twinge of guilt as I read my credit card number over the phone to secure my treasure. Then, I remembered the heartbreak of not being able to enjoy more of this amazing wine and suddenly I smiled and realized that I am now the (proud) owner of two more bottles of Eben Sadie’s 2003 Sequillo red wine. Grenache, mourvedre and syrah at its finest!
Oh, it’s going to be an early Christmas for me.
And, sorry to others on the same Sequillo quest as me: the last two bottles are mine! All mine! (Insert evil laugh.) But, I’ll post a review sometime soon.
