LOL. No, I’m retired so I have lots of time to prepare. And I enjoy doing it.

We had our wine tasting group over for a casual summer walk about tasting featuring my favorite three types of wine (Riesling, Chardonnay, and Bordeaux blends). Some very brief notes Of course, we started early with some Champagne by the pool NV Andre Clouet 1911 2004 Pommery Cuve Louise 2012 Soutir...

I have two bottles of the 2001 Coutet left in my cellar. Looks like it’s time to drink up. Thanks for your notes and your culinary skills are impressive.

I’m into the Italian Timorasso’s now. Nice dry refreshing wine for summer. In fact, I’m going down to Bassins today to pick up some more!

Eric, try Dalem. I loved it.

2016 Lafon Rochet. Deep garnet color. Nose of bramble berries. Softer palate than I expected with plenty of soft red fruit. Easy drinker for a chilly wet day with homemade Bo Kho!

I think the title of this thread should be amended to include the addendum of "....different wines in different sizes than what I paid for". I'm not impressed by a vendor who switches out a prepaid rarity, in a special format, for a widely (Costco!) available wine (no matter how good it i...

I contacted them but they told me they were unable to provide three bottles because they were shorted: Pavie, L’Evangile, and Hosanna. Negotiating now with them on replacements. They have the rest and will ship out soon. I also need to call on Hosanna. That's all I am missing. Their customer servic...

We were there for my 60th. Loved it. Book a guide for the Sistine Chapel and the Colesseum. You get to skip the lines and it is well worth the time savings. Just walking around you’ll find gems of ancient ruins and beautiful churches. We stayed at a little place around the corner from the Pantheon a...

Sounds like a wonderful dinner! I was there once during a trash strike - not nice.

Joel organized a wonderful dinner with old Piedmont wines at Mazaro restaurant in Arlington. The oldest Barolo I had was a 2006, but these folks had some real old bottles to open. It was a fun night with beautiful wines. A shame I didn't buy these heavily when I was young. Barolos obviously shine wi...

I had the very fortunate opportunity to receive an invitation to a 1982 Bordeaux tasting from MarcF in our wine group. He had a prior 82 tasting which I had to miss so I was thrilled to be included in this one. All the wines (I believe) were supplied by Marc except for the Mouton which KennyK provid...

This is embarrassing because hot weather tertre roteboeuf is hardly a fashionable or au courant wine to be drinking, but I keep seeing amazing deals on it and I do occasionally like Port and big Napa wines and it’s better in that style than those, so…this is all to say that I saw some 2018 (!)

I thought the same on the first day but why would it improve so much the next day?

I opened this yesterday and after one glass I was going to dump it down the drain. It was sour, flat and just hard to swallow. No fruit at All. Glad I didn’t dump. Today, it has a spiced cider nose with plenty of plum notes on the palate. The sourness from the day before has subsided into a nice jus...

I agree with Jim. While drinking a mature Bordeaux is wonderful, I do like them in the 5-8 year range, too. I’ve already opened some 2019 to check them out and I thought they were drinking great! Same goes for 2019 Burgundy, even more so.

We went to RPM Italian in DC for their Feast of the Seven Fishes. Food was wonderful. Service impeccable. And I was so surprised with the wine pairings. They weren't high end bottles but they paired beautifully with the food. They did a great job. I did Wine Searcher to get an idea how much they do ...

When picking up my pre-ordered 2014 Latour and 2019 Beychevelle from Bassins, I grabbed a 2019 Felletig CM Les Plantes off the shelf. I do enjoy shopping in a store vs over the web. Also when picking up my huge Panzer German order in Delaware this week, I grabbed a 2017 Rieussec from the Total Wine ...

I wasn’t expecting much when I opened this second wine of Durfort Vivens but I was pleasantly surprised. Nose of crushed blackberries which was carried into the palate. Very soft tannins with the dense fruit. Drinking surprisingly well for such a young wine. Definitely a food wine

I use Flipboard for news. You can get different perspectives on the same story from various sources. I have Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok accounts but rarely use them. But, I do use Facebook to keep in touch with old friends. Like just last summer when I was at the beach, a friend I hadn't seen sin...
