and don't forget '78 Palmer

Racer Chris

I would say 1982 Talbot but I've only had it once. Therefore I'll go with 1986 Rausan-Segla. Each time I've had it, I thought it was better than the previous bottle.

Kari Lake not only defeated, but tossed into the dustbin of history. However I've gotta say, Liz Cheney is da Man! (even according to Josh Hawley apparently) She would make a great Speaker of the House under the current circumstances. All it would take is all the democrats and a few republicans to v...

I found some for $100 within half an hour driving time. I'll see if I can secure a couple bottles before the word spreads. Yesterday I made my first trip to Table & Vine in W. Springfield and purchased 3x 2016 GPL @ $90 ea, plus 1x '18 Comtesse Reserve @ $45 and 2x '18 Lanessan @ $18 in order t...

I opened one of these 4 years ago and even then it was quite appealing. Now I'm getting tempted again to open another one, but I only have 4 more.

2012 Ch. Montrose x2

Racer Chris

It has the highest abv of any L-T I've seen, at 14%.
My first bottle showed some character that I didn't notice in the next few bottles. I'm hopeful that it will reappear as the wine matures.

...The #4 BWE Honorable Mention Wine of the Year.... 2016 Larose Trintaudon This is a Racer Chris kind of wine. I absolutely love it. I gave it very serious consideration for wine of the year. I don't know about other vintages like the 2018, which I have not yet tried, but the 2016 Larose Trintaudo...

I thought I bought 6 bottles of 2016 Ch. Siran online at a local retailer, but when I went to pick them up, it was the S de Siran.
At $40 each I was happy to buy more '16 Siran, but I'm not paying that for their second wine.

Racer Chris

In stock at Saratoga from the top down, although Pre-arrival prices are generally lower than in-stock. I didn't see Lynch Bages but I did notice all the other mentioned chateaux

Racer Chris

I bought a case of 2020 Paumanok Chenin from Astor Wines on Thursday.

Racer Chris

Happy Thanksgiving! Just three for dinner here today. I have the turkey in the oven, dressing ready to go in, etc. I started sipping on a glass of 2020 Paumanok Chenin Blanc at 10am when the Manchester Road Race started. It was an epic race, and the wine has me excited to buy more if I can. Good day...

Racer Chris

If I was ever going to spend that kind of $$$ on a young bottle of wine, the '16 Montrose looks very inviting.

Racer Chris

definitely hybrid

Racer Chris

Saratoga has it on sale for $269, 12 bottles ship free.

Racer Chris

I've never eaten nettles or drank nettle tea, but I have been in contact with them and they do indeed sting as described above.

Very impressive lineup. I've had one of those wines anyway - 1982 Ch. Margaux.
My list is short but the Talbot I opened last March was the best '82 Bordeaux I've had.

Racer Chris

Dems in my town will be writing letters to Georgia residents, encouraging them to vote.

Racer Chris

One thing I like about Connecticut - it's easy to be a progressive, even though I'm surrounded by maga republicans in this little rural suburb. The Democrat candidate in our state House district has lost for 30 years running. However Dems hold a significant majority statewide, and there are only 13 ...

This morning, things don't look any worse, and possibly a lot better than most expected. Six of seven Trump endorsed election denying gubernatorial candidates lost overnight, with the seventh (Kari Lake) down nearly two percent to her opponent after 2/3 of the vote counted. Georgia will probably go ...

Racer Chris

I had a wonderful 1970 Ch. Figeac a little more than a year ago.

I was up at 4:30 this morning, watching the lunar eclipse. My yard doesn't have great views to the west but the dim red moon was fully visible through bare trees. My best views were ahead of the full eclipse, while there was still a glow on the southeast side of the moon. After that I loaded Mary's ...

Racer Chris

Popped and poured. Nice perfume!

I don't think a 1% fluctuation in the djia indicates much about the voting.

A friend's wife is their town's republican registrar of voters. She says turnout is heavy.

Indiana starting to report.

Racer Chris

I'll join you tonight Jim, but since I'm not quite so pessimistic about the outcome, I'm only opening a young Cru Bourgeois.

A bottle of 2016 Meyney has been moved upstairs.

Racer Chris

I think Talbot was top ten in that vintage

Racer Chris

I've enjoyed a few bottles of the 2016, with one left in my cellar.

A little closed on the first glass drank the evening before. However after keeping the stoppered bottle in my wine fridge overnight, the rest was very enjoyabl...

Racer Chris

I just got billed the other 50% from Total Wine, which means the rest of my 2019 EP wine is on its way to my local store for pickup.

Racer Chris

I drink, therefore I am.

Racer Chris

I have one bottle of the 2011 which I've been thinking about opening soon. I've enjoyed some other 2011s recently, including a Capbern-Gasqueton just a couple weeks ago. It must be time for the C-S.
Good luck today Jim.

Racer Chris

I don't get it

Racer Chris

A long brush and a slurry of salt & water or baking soda & water should be enough to remove the visible stain. Beyond that, Dawn Platinum Powerwash will take off just about all surface spots & etc.

Racer Chris

I got notice that my Ch Talbot arrived at TW but still waiting for several others.

Racer Chris

I suppose ten pounds was worth more in the 1990s

Care to fill in some meaning on this?

WRT Grand Mayne, I drank a couple bottles of 2008 several years ago which were pretty good.

Racer Chris

I am glad that BWE does not have the collective buying power to drive up the price of Larose-Trintaudon. Me too! Still retailing between $20-22. Last week I drank the best 2016 I've had so far. My first couple bottles must have been shut down because this one was fully up to Jim's superlative descr...

Lilian Ladouys - that's a she name.
