Wow! Kamala was fantastic in pursuing Trump tonight. I never new her prior to tonight and I thought she was impressive. I'm Canadian and talk can't about the strengths of politics in our country at the moment but I'm hopeful that America sees what I saw tonight in Kamala as hope for America. I have ...

Another great JHow weekend. Nice to see David and Peggy looking well. That 96 Lafitte sounds special and Jim you're a lucky man cornering a chunk of the stock for yourself. Nice to enjoy these moments through the net if I can't enjoy in person

Have a great time. Keep us posted and fingers crossed no untoward mishaps.

Just catching up the Nic's adventures. Sad to hear about MC and we wish her a speedy recovery. Some great wines shared with good friends, a lobster or three along with whoopee pies. Sounds like a great time to me. Sorry we never touched base while you guys were together and I was looking forward to ...

Have a great time guys and keep us all up to date. I'll be there with you in spirit.

Alex, I hope that all is well with you and Christine. It's been a long while since we've enjoyed a glass or two together but sounds like your adventures keep on trucking! Wonderful report and a pleasure to read. From Chablis to Y'Quem into Madiran. Now that's kind of and exploration of the countrysi...

Nice to see your keeping the tradition alive with that Malescot on the table with the lobster. Brings back memories from Bordeaux.

Thanks for taking the time to share your notes on this recent comparative tasting. I'm not drinking much these days but appreciated your review. Somewhere in the cellar sits a case of 2019 Latour Martiallac. I bought it on futures after having a memorable 2005 in a French Michelin star restaurant in...

Something called tasktakeover pops up then redirects. Doesn't happen when I go direct to your site address.

Alex,

Not sure if this is happening to others but when I click on the link I get hijacked and redirected to all sorts of other spam sites but your Wineblog.

Better late than never Nic and a great excuse to get friends together. Weather's a little better this weekend than back in January so good call!

Jim,

Thought we saw you a few rows up behind the basket in Cleveland watching the game of TV. The hair and glasses were a give away unless you've got a twin!

Happy Birthday Ed. Sounds like the wine is in the twilight of its life as well!

Jim, Nice walk down memory lane but just a small sampling. My heart says I'd love to have a go at France 25 but my brain says it's doubtful. We'll see how things unfold over the next months. Spain I must say has been rejuvenating! Feeling much better bur a ways to go yet. Regardless I can still dream.

Nic,

Learning from the master trying to corner the market and keep prices down!! Good for you. Hope to try it some day.

Nic, I never had any idea that Quebec was known for their crab or sea scallops. Certainly in Ottawa on Quebec's western border we are a long way from Quebec's eastern coast where these must come from. I'll agree with Jay that Maryland's blue crabs are pretty good but Dungeness and king crab are prob...

Looks like an incredible evening Jim. Menu and photos special. Thanks for sharing.

Stefan, In the Costa del Sol trying to recoup away from home and slowly improving. Played 18 yesterday in cart and bagged at the end shooting a discouraging 87! Little control over the ball strike a putter sucked with unsteady hands. Hopefully it will come back slowly. Crazy this roller coaster year...

Ian, Great memories brought back to life. I also picked up a case of this and case still stays sealed. Over on the Costa del Sol starting to recover somewhat from a major long covid setback that started in Montreal after UGC tasting and the worsened through our Florida tour along with a significant ...

I'm in the boat that I can find love for many in each one of the appellations. If the question were reworded to which appellation has caused you the most disappointments then I'd agree that St Emilion would be up there for me with the most overdone. disappointments. Nevertheless there are many in th...

Thanks for sharing the link. I found the documentary very interesting and problems the wine industry are facing with vines dying prematurely aided by global warming// and the impact this has on the global industry as a whole. The major importance of vine/clone/grafting methods and matching to terroi...

Wow Nic that sounds overall like a disappointing review of several right bankers from various vintages. I had always enjoyed La Dominique through the 80s and 90s but like a lot of right bankers I feel many have gone off the rails. At least you had a positives like the 2010 Fonbel and 2000 La Serre b...

Congrats to the longevity of BWE and all the friends we've made along the way. Well done Jim for sticking through this amazing site and making it all happen. Many happy returns.

dstgolf

Sounds like a winner for that price. If it resembles Calon Segur it could be my kinda wine as well but trying to taper off this stuff unfortunately. I love it but it don't love me anymore sending my heart of rhythm when in the least bit overdo it like Montreal. Boy that was a bad 4-5 days of irregul...

Never had that one before Jim or seen it locally.

Agree fully the 2021 WTSRN was a step above most at this tasting making it a bargain by comparison to most. It was fun chatting with the winemaker whom Jim and I confused with the owner that served us in 2015 at the Chateau when we were on tour who we thought was the winemaker and not the owner. Thi...

Guys, As you remember those three were side by each at the tasting and I went with the dArmailhac first and heard the same spiel that Nic did. I thought out of all the wines that I had tried apart from Talbot and the Bartons that this was right in its wheelhouse. An early drinker and very well made....

What great weekend in Montreal but I must say I'm getting a little old for the late nights and power drinking. Loved being there and sharing the weekend with good friends but I'll need a few days to recover. Some great wines, laughs and pretty good food. As Jim commented 2021 is a more classic vinta...

Congrats Nic. Look forward to next weekend and we'll celebrate all together in Montreal.

Great review. Nights with Stu & Kathy are always memorable and sounds like this one didn't disappoint.

Happy New Year to all.

Nice Christmas treat Jim and welcome back. Nice to see that you survived!

Joel, Agree there are better qpr's in Bordeaux than Sassacaia but I must say I've loved it every time I've had it going through cases of the 97-2000 with friends over the years. It has never displayed the complexities or nuances of an aged Bordeaux but it always was a crowd pleaser. I haven't bought...

Great notes and wonderful way to lead into the holidays. Sangiovese works well with pizza and pasta on the lower end side for easy drinking but I don't get the thrill from the higher end expensive Brunello's like some and can relate with David's comment for sure. Add a little cab or merlot and a dif...

dstgolf

David, That's too bad but seems not unexpected from this maybe over hyped vintage. There have been quite a few winners but others like you say have been undrinkable. We thoroughly enjoyed a Duhart Milon recently and it has been been consistently Lafite like for several years but still in its juvenil...

Andy,

Don't recall the story or Boothbay offline but welcome back. Most of us have made a lot of friends through this site and I hope that the future holds the same for you and many others.

Ian, Don't know how I missed this thread but great review however I'm somewhat disappointed in some of the reviews. It's often hard to compare a group of very good wines side by side and not sure if this is the case or you're just drinking so many great wines some of these that I thinkere quite good...

Jon,

The 2001 PC is still a youthful baby drinking very well with the 2000 also a beauty but has not opened up quite as much as the 01 at this time. I still think the 2000 in 5 yrs will knock the socks off the 01.
