I just bought six more bottles of the 2012 St. Innocent Momtazi.

JimHow

I'm concerned that you may be right Patrick. They're just not as "interesting" as in the 1980s. I'll probably pick up 2-3 bottles of Pape Clement, I think it's $82ish at Zachy's. That 2012 Clos Marsalette I had recently was perfect to the point of boring. The 2012 Barde Haut struck me as s...

JimHow

Every once in a while I still get a paper catalogue from Sherry Lehman.
Remember those great old paper mailings from Premier Cru. Ah, memories….

JimHow

It looks to me like Zachy's has some of the lowest prices by a couple bucks.

JimHow

Yeah, the good stuff doesn't look cheap.

The sooner we get this Debbie Wasserman out of there the better off the Democratic Party will be:

For some reason this report makes me think back to that glorious day we spent in St. Emilion and that glorious lunch we had at La Dominique.

JimHow

One of the reporters said she looks tired. I agree. And depressed.

JimHow

Another rough day for Hillary.

JimHow

Just saw them priced at $89 for Pape and $74 for Beychevelle here.

JimHow

I liked my 2012 St. Innocents. How are the 2013s and 2014s supposed to be, and when are they available?

JimHow

Quinnipiac:

Trump-Clinton dead even in FL, OH, and (gulp) PA…

And he hasn't even started on her yet….

We're doomed. I think Hillary is unelectable.

JimHow

The pricing on 2015 futures seems to be pretty reasonable so far, no?
As Jeff said, though, there probably won't be a need to buy the wines I'm looking for as futures.
Still, Cantemerle at $30, Haut Bergey at $22, Chasse Spleen at $29, etc., etc., seems to be pretty fair.

JimHow

I have no problem whatsoever drinking red Bordeaux with tuna. The '12 GPL is a "pleasant" 90 point wine. At $48, I'll buy a couple more bottles and How them within the next 5-10 years.

JimHow

As my old friend George once said… "Americans will probably remain ignorant of the big red, white, and blue dick being jammed up their assholes every day…."

2012 Grand Puy Lacoste and fresh tuna, caught this morning, cooked to medium rare perfection.
Heaven on earth!

JimHow

Now you guys are in the spirit!

JimHow

I love that 2012 Momtazi, too bad MacArthur's is sold out of it.

JimHow

Mmm ahi poke sounds good.
My greatest tuna/wine experience, I've mentioned before, Jackdaw brought a 1996 DRC Grands Echezeaux to that dinner in NYC… Heavenly.

I wanted to re-try the 12 GPL, planning to buy 3-4 more bottle if I like it as much as I did the first time.

JimHow

Gonna drink some young Bordeaux tonight.
And gonna drink it with some fish.
Watch and learn….

JimHow

The 2005 Chauvin was a solid effort.

JimHow

Ha I like it!

JimHow

Yes, Boston is a wonderfully complicated place. It's the whole New England Puritan, Catholic guilt thing.
A lot of it has to do with the complicated seasons, I think.
Great city though. But, yes, fucked up in the head.

JimHow

Back around 2004 in NYC in Times Square at our 2000 dinner, when we had the winemakers from d'Issan, Corbin, and Lagrange there, we had some epic 2000 Bordeauxs, including the 2000 Pavie. It was my wine of the night, and a few other felt the same way. Some BWEers had brought the '82 Pavie and were t...

JimHow

First of all, this is from 2010… which may just be the greatest across-the-board Bordeaux vintage ever. Secondly, for me, this wine will have a soft spot. We were at a seafood restaurant in the old section of Bordeaux last spring, their wine list was dominated by young Magrez reds. I ordered a 2010 ...

JimHow

I have two half bottles of 1998 Pavie left in my cellar, that is all.

JimHow

I loved the 1998 Gazin in its infancy. I thought it was a BIG wine back then.

JimHow

Mmmm.
Loved the 1998 and 2000 Pavies, the only two vintages of that wine I have had.

JimHow

What is the height of Beaujolais? How good does it get? Does it get good at all?

JimHow

I have had about a case of 2009 Haut Bergey and about six bottles of 2010 Haut Bergey. They're both lovely wines. Nothing profound, mind you, but pleasant Bordeauxs, especially for the price, and I actually find them quite true to Pessac and their respective vintages. While someone like me finds the...

When we were in Bordeaux last year at that Wednesday night dinner we had a 2010 La Tour Carnet with fish. We tried to order a second bottle but that was all they had. So I ordered another 2010 Magrez wine on the list…

2010 Les Grands Chenes.

JimHow

Hint: You have had this wine with me Danny.

JimHow

Monolithic indeed, but sometimes you want chunky and monolithic.

JimHow

Deep ruby.

JimHow

JimHow

Indeed. You could tell it had a cool cellar provenance. That wine will last a hundred years.

JimHow

Very nicely done, David G, I don't have to be in court tomorrow morning, I think I'll uncork a Bernard Magrez wine tonight with a pork chop.

JimHow

Indeed, Ian, 1989 Lynch Bages first came into my consciousness in the mid to late 1990s. I remember being in a wine shop in Falmouth, Maine, probably around 1998 or so. I had three bottles of '89 Lynch in my hand. It was starting to get pricey, I remember it at $75 by that point. "Hey Jim,"...
