Re: Next Spring: 25th anniversary celebrations in France and Washington DC.

I like it Mr Flaneur, my trial schedule is a little tricky into March 2025, usually we have done the annual BWE conventions around April 1st, very preliminarily and without looking up religious holidays etc I’m wondering how Thursday April 3 to Sunday April 6, 2025, looks for the Trump USA conventio...

Next Spring: 25th anniversary celebrations in France and Washington DC.

Just thinking out loud, not that I see BWE ending any time soon but I think as we've all reached our long plateaus of maturity and have maybe slowed down our drinking and partying habits just a bit, I've been wondering if there might be any interest in a "last hurrah" type celebration of B...

Re: ‘Best of the best’ first growths dinner

A brilliant report from Mr. Flaneur as usual. 1988 Lafite en magnum. OMG. Stefan, that 88 Lafite sneaks up on you, more than once it has been under the radar but then as the night evolves, as appears to have been the case with the London tasting, it demonstrates its otherworldliness. It is one of my...

I still say this will be a 200 year wine Nicola, I think you were standing there in Montreal when JM Cazes's daughter told us the '89 was her father's favorite vintage. To me it is the ultimate Pauillac. I now have six bottles. They don't give them away anymore, these will likely be my last six.

Ha Gerry, I was discussing this with Joel the other night, it is weird how the '89 Lynch seems to have closed down even more in recent years. I'll probably hold off on them for at least five years.

Nicely done, David, it's pretty hard to beat Ducru in my book. Hope to meet you in the Philly area at some point.

Re: 2000 Sociando Mallet

I enjoyed 7 of the 12 bottles I drank from my case of 2000 Sociando. I wasn't as off-put by the greenness as some, this is a trait of the 2000 Pichon Lalande that many seem to find a positive rather than a negative.
