Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

Thanks for the notes! I Know the house is rockin' when you two gather together. Did JF run a marathon after dinner?

Jay Winton

Last night with our first dinner out in almost 3 months we opened the 2000 Lanson "Noble" champagne. Certainly ready to go but plenty of bubbles and a rich dry flavor. I told our friends I courted (successfully, as we all know now) mrs vino wayyy back in the day with a 1976 Lanson which wa...

Mine too.

Yes and my SF agent told me that my CT inventory would be sufficient for any claim I made. That said, I'm not covered if I break a bottle. Fire, theft yes.

Keep in mind Togni trained at Lascombes. My tour of their facility remains a highlight as we were able to ask anything about his wines to Togni himself. I think his wines represent California its best but real Bordeaux patience is required.

Refunded with no hassles. I may order again when the temps cool down.

I try and wave the Rhone flag here with little success. I continue to find a CDR a good midweek choice that pairs well with a variety of food. Thanks Arv for all the notes. I think the oldest CNDP I have is 2005; I've had a few you listed with good results.

Where did you find it Jay? Internet wines-lowest price on CT. Shipping was higher than normal but no tax and they got it shipped immediately. It had to go to DC as they don't ship to MD but I've used the Fedex to a Walgreens option before with no issues. Sadly, Fedex appears to have lost this wine....

Hmm, I discovered a couple of 09s I forgot I had but CT notes say wait. I have a six pack of the 2010 due to the usual enablement here. Looks like the sirens might be luring me on the 2016. Yeah, if you need to leave the 2016 sirens behind, you need your ears filled with beeswax and your hands tied...

Anyone Remember the Specials?? This town is like a Ghost town.

I went through as case of the 2000 quite happily.

mrs vino has developed a taste for Brunello. I like Il Poggione but can find producers under $40 which are quite agreeable with some cellar time. A little off topic but Asimov/NYT had a column on Italian whites under $25 this week. I've enjoyed several different whites but my underdeveloped brain ha...

Happy anniversary!

Jay Winton

Who will be the VP and if Biden wins the candidate for President in 2024? Biden has a term in him at best.

Jay Winton

Should be there. Will open a Bordeaux.

Jay Winton

So 5PM Eastern next Saturday?

Lots of great moments. The first time I met BD, whuzzup etc. Lunch and then out to PC. Many more

David brought a 1994 Harlan to the Miami BWE convention-memorable.

Jay Winton

I've had the 2006 a couple times over the last few months. I liked the wine but it seemed more mature than is should have been. Stored at room temperature in Florida so that may be the reason.

Jay Winton

Costco wine pricing varies in terms of best price but it can be unbeatable.

Jay Winton

I admit it...we look forward to HH every evening. I've been opening some bottles that were sitting in my chiller for a special dinner, get together. My latest was the 2013 Leonetti Cellars cabernet from Washington state. I've found wines from that region can display some Bordeaux characteristics, th...

Jay Winton

My bottles got better as they aged-one left. I think this was my first purchase due to the BWE enabling devils.

I call the 2002 Piper Rare a real crowd pleaser. I think I have one bottle left and I made history when I brought it to FL to drink with Stu and Kathy and he said he had never had it. Paramedics were called as I went into shock. I'm happy with the Skin's pick. Young went to high school in the next t...

Hilary took the black vote for granted and paid the price. Biden has an entirely different relationship with this voter segment so the hope is turnout will be high.

Jay Winton

2000 Langoa was delicious recently.

Jay Winton

Will be there next time!

Jay Winton

Have another zoom call scheduled but it may not happen so maybe.

Jay Winton

2015 Chateau Siran is an excellent, even more than excellent fot the price. Dark color, nose of concentrayed blsckberries and red Margaux berries, light spices, light oak and some rasberries. In mouth, young but with that balanced power, flavored with red berries, cinnamon, spices, more red fruits....

Jay Winton

A real success!

Jay Winton

Constantly trying to get love for southern rhones, my magnum of 2005 Domaine Font de Michelle Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Etienne Gonnet was in a great place last night, drinking well on its own but a seamless integration with the grilled carne asada with mrs v's delicious golden mashed potatoes. Plen...

Jay Winton

This was just screaming to be open and drunk with the Carne Asada-2005 Domaine Font de Michelle Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Etienne Gonnet-en magnum.

Jay Winton

I will be there. Not sure what I will open.

Jay Winton

Krebs knows what he's talking abouthttps://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/war ... -problems/
EDIT: This is not an attempt to dissuade anyone from joining the the truly historic ZOOM meeting the BD and Ed have planned. Again, whatever Ed says should be our policy.

Two known wine suspects though one pretends to be a singer.

Good idea to consolidate this BD. Does anyone know if you can slideshow your background in Zoom? We have some BWE shots that might be fun to use.

Jay Winton

Free Zoom only allows for 30 minute sessions so the host really needs to have a paid account. We did a HH last Friday and it worked pretty well except only one conversation at a time. After a few sips, that can be difficult. EDIT: I have access to a paid account so could host.

Trump's ratings increase. Biden is stuck at home and Bernie is quiet about his future. Not good.

Jay Winton

I thoroughly enjoyed both bottles I bought.
