I attempted to email him thru HDH site.
But never got a response.

My two cents: By far the biggest problem is the world today is white collar crime. Rich elites conspire with politicians to steal billions from honest hard working people. Obama offered hope but stuck with the same failed and corrupt people. He has achieved virtually nothing. Apart from Berni Madof...

Hubert is very understated and his rhythms seem simple but hard to copy. Come on down south and we'll throw some world class harp on ya and you'll go back with some Southern Fried soul. Very tatsy. Some Freddie King would be right up your alley. I still love hearing San Ho Zay My favorite Wolf song ...

RDD

Why so much more?
Maybe because RP rated it 98 points.
But he has said his scores don't affect prices. So must be some other reason.

RDD

If you mean Selbach - Oster, I usually buy sweeter levels.
They can make some wonderful Auslese an IceWein.

They are a very important shipper from Germany also.

For Trocken it is hard to beat MC............Top of the heap.

1989 La Mission

Susan and I saw Mick Taylor in a small dive here in Charlotte that we nicknamed "Freddy's Freezer" as the owver was too cheap to spring for heat. He had promised his girlfriend he would book Mick for her birthday. There were a total of 50 people or so there. Good show but soundman sucked. ...

Tiger Woods is the greatest shagger of all time....GRRR...Easy Tiger!

I pick Eddy Merckx over Lance.

Yes it mostly started in 1995.
My point was this was referencce as to what age should do the Burgundy.

RDD

When you drink this you know what is so NOT premoxed. This is perfectly aged white Burgundy. The color is a brilliant yellow gold. The nose is tight (and my is stuffed) but I get some vanilla custard. The floral scent has faded away. Some spice but as I said it is very tight. The taste is a mouthful...

We're buying a new computer this week, most likely a Mac so I can have Garage Band to record the demos for the CD my band is recording. Does anyone have any advice, thoughts, preferences, recommendations as to which system you prefer? If you are really interested in recording, let me know and I'll ...

The vice president of Hart Davis Wines must be wrong then. Let me see.... Ben Nelson, vice president of Hart Davis Wines, can't identify an oxidized white Burg. ... Ben is actually the president of Consignment division. I'm going to email him and see if he'll participate. Maybe his opinion has chan...

RDD

What I find incredible is that they haven't (a) definitively identified what has caused the problem and then (b) eliminated it. Surely the technology and brainpower exists?Together with the failure to capture Osama Bin laden this is the biggest scandal of the first decade of the 21st century (rathe...

Susan and I are back home after attending a wedding and dinner with friends. I won't go into details but we ate great food, drank good wines and had a wondeful time. I'm just thankful for all that participate here and for the many life long friendships we've made. Sure there are spats and difference...

Sounds out of this world good!

RDD

Sounds GREAT! We've brined and smoked birds in the past too. We have a recipe for a nice maple syrup brine. You know your woods. Cherry is great on birds. You can almost ditch the hickory. Good on pork but it's a heavy smoke so go easy with it. Maple and pecan work well too. A trick you may find hel...

I bought selectively from 2003:
Leoville Barton
Calon Segur
Pavie- Macquin

I think all will be great given time. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say the Pavie-Macquin will be legendary.

RDD

Gald to see you enjoying yourself Jim.
Cold in Maine yet?
Susan and I had no wine Saturday.
Instead we spent the day 3 rows back on the 50 yard line watching VT woop up on NC State.
Love that Beamer Ball!
What a great day.

RDD

I'm drinking mine ASAP also.
Niellon has been good.

RDD

With less gamey meat I think Burgundy, but mostly for fowl.
Don't overlook the Rhones.

RDD

The day we get the processed venison, we'll repack and vacuum seal.
Then straight away into a cold freezer.
They'll be some good cuts when y'all come down.
By y'all I mean the any of the BWE crew.

Early this morning, my cell phone was blowing up. I looked at the number. Work ....... Damn. I mumbled "Hello...." My buddy says," I just bagged a nice buck for you. I'm taking it over to the butcher to be hung and dressed. All you have to do is pay the processing fee." I said,&q...

I never knew the Montelana Chardonnay had changed color etc.
I thought that was very interesting.
I also like the way they portrayed the California pioneers as just wanting to make great wines and putting everything on the line.

RDD

One thing that always comes thru on the 1986's is the sheer power.
I'm more optimistic than Tom.
I thought 1986 LLC was approachable a few years ago when we firts met.
At least I didn't have a any trouble drinking my fill ! The 1982 was great too!

RDD

It is. I can't spell in the morning. I thought I might clear up my inability to spell. I've been writing software for 30+ years. And we bastadize and butcher the English language. Everything is an abbreviation or contraction of a word. So I usually am heavily reliant on a spell checker. But when one...

What a pleasant suprise. I've had a number of bottles from this producer that seemed to thin and devoid of personality. But not this time. Nose didn't give much at first. Al ittle ceadr, a little leather, some dark fruit. First sip and my heart sank. Nice fruit and then a wall of tannin stopped the ...

Rob, Alex.
We've broken bread a few times...........

Congrats!

Not only do you know fine wine, you also know a fine woman.

RDD

Thanks Alex.
You helped.

Well, actually there are German TBAs made from the Sylvaner grape. stefan Or Rieslaner or Scheurebe. My question wasn't phrased very well as the coffee hadn't kicked in. But I think the answer is there are as many different styled Sauternes as producers. I'm like others. I like it but wish I knew m...

AlexR wrote:Common denominator?
Sure! There's a type of botrytized Sémillon grape flavor that only comes from that terroir.

A few - very few - of the wines seemed to have an international style, or resemble anything other than Sauternes.

I see.
Like all German TBA's use Reisling..............

RDD

Any updates on cork treatments?
There was tye microwave technology a few years ago all seems to be quiet latetly.

RDD

Alex:
Are there any common denominators among producers?
Or is each house doing their own thing?
