Thanks G, I'll probably pop down to Portsmouth on Wednesday and see if there's any interesting French wines in stock. I left those two Montrose for you in Nashua, I have 15 bottles of 2019 Montrose, that should last me a while. I think there are a few bottles left in Portsmouth but I'll hold off on ...

JimHow

The wines from 2020 are also excellent and yesterday I broke my no more EP buying rule and just hope I live long enough to drink them all.

Well done, Claudius2, very well done indeed.

Whether 94 points or 90 points, Ognik, I'm buying another dozen bottles of 2019 Meyney!

JimHow

Passive cellar, it stays cool year round up here in the great state of Maine.
I've added more Dom Perignon since the video, I need more whit Burgundy for summer lobster.
I want to get more red Burgundy, when are the 2022s hitting the shelves?

JimHow

Seems like the Granite State went quiet with the 2019 vintage, if so that was a big mistake....

If the Celtics stay healthy, we could be in for a(nother) banner!

Trump leads 48% to 43%.
This is really going to happen, isn't it.

A nice little quick summary of 2019 St. Estephe:

What was it, a couple years ago, the Farr's tasters sipped the recently bottled 2019 Bordeaux and, without any equivocation, declared it "the greatest vintage ever." And I said, ok, that's great, but come on, how can you declare a vintage the "greatest ever" when you are tasting ...

88 is generally on the low end of my 85-100 scale because I am a Bordeaux wine enthusiast.

JimHow

Something like that!

JimHow

I will report back on the 2019 Meyney in the morning, I'm tired tonight and going to bed.
Suffice to say it will be yet another very positive report of a 2019 Bordeaux wine.

JimHow

88, is that a good score?

Another week in paradise....

Ha ha that’s Julie Fauchie, chargee de communication at Pavie Macquin, she was very nice, we had a very lovely visit there, a beautiful property.

JimHow

Yes I'm not sure whether light on its feet is the correct term, but I'm really enjoying how this vintage seems to be beautifully ripe but not heavy. That 2019 Cantemerle from the other night was so smooth. It just seems to me this vintage combines the best traits of multiple different types of vinta...

JimHow

Well done, Jay, these 2019s just seem universally outstanding, at least for my taste.

JimHow

Man, I'm telling you, these 2019s are beautiful. I know I keep saying this, but this is the best Corbin I've ever had. It has beautiful ripeness but nonetheless classy, nothing over the top. This is a lovely, serious wine. Very St. Emilion. Rating: 94 points.

There seems to be a bit of a glitch, if anyone is having problems posting please let me know.

JimHow

Mmm this is a nice ripe but classy St. Emilion....

JimHow

A little something from St. Emilion tonight....

12 x 2019 Cantemerle

JimHow

You are a true BWEer, esl. Very well done indeed!

JimHow

Oui, Oui! I am a Bordeaux wine enthusiast!

JimHow

esl, what JCNorthway said. I've been dealing with the same nonsense here in New England for 30+ years. Just do it.
JC, a tear is in my eye, you are a BWE extraordinaire, one of the very originals. Well done, JCNorthway. Very well done indeed.

JimHow

Tom In DC, you and Gail have been BWE joys in my life, I truly hope to see you soon.

JimHow

Thanks.

JimHow

Yeah I hear you, esl.
Saratoga has already packed and shipped my case of Cantemerle, scheduled for overnight delivery tomorrow at regular $20 ground shipping.
I've been very impressed with their selection and service.

JimHow

Very well done indeed RP!

JimHow

I ordered another case, esl, at Saratoga Wine Exchange. It’s so smooth, and 13.5%.

JimHow

The 2019 Chateau Catemerle is outstanding, best Cantemerle ever in my opinion, surpasses the 2016, 2010, and 1989. It is elegant and nuanced, balanced, classy, I love the 13.5% alcohol level in this generally high alcohol vintage. At $28USD, I am planning on buying two more cases. Very smooth, light...

JimHow

My mixed two case stash of some of my favorite 2019-2020 Bordeaux arrived today, life is good....

JimHow

Welcome to BWE, TW, and thank you to all BWEers far and wide.
What an incredible ride!

JimHow

It was 24 years ago this morning that I woke up and, on a whim, created this site. I had zero expectations that it would last beyond that day, or certainly not more than a week. 24 years later, through thick or thin, we are still here! It has been a great ride. Happy Birthday to all BWEers around th...

By the way, I was looking at this Tool video I surreptitiously filmed at the Boston Garden 2019, can you send it on to Stefan Jr.

JimHow

Ha I was going to comment on the measly two in the initial post.
Well done. Very well done indeed.

JimHow

Wow, 12 x 2019 Chateau de Lamarque….
Well done, esl. Very well done indeed!

JimHow

He seemed like a sweet man, I regret not ever having met him.
We did meet his daughter in Montreal last month, she was very nice.
