I just tasted a Vin de Pays form the South of France that costs $8.50 on sale. I'm going to buy a btl on fri and give it a try with food this weekend. 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% of a grape I've never heard of. It tastes more like cherrys than any wine I've ever had. I'll get back with the name...

I was in a discount store the other day and saw a screw pull that was made of steel for $5.99. The plastic ones usually are about $20 and break. I also bought knockoff "Rabbits" at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $9.99 from the Wine Enthusiast. It's a four peice set that has the Rabbit, a foil cu...

PappaDoc

Jim that was the Priorat Palacios, they make Ermite which goes for $600.00 the Les Terrasses 04 is better than the 05. Both were on closeout sale for $25 and $27 from $45. You needed to open the 04 at least two hours or better yet open, decant 1 hour , put back in the btl and drink the next day. Out...

I actually cut the capsule to pull the cork some two years ago. I went to BWE search and decided against it as it is the sole btl I have. I wait another 3-4 years, or until a consensus here says it's ready to play.

PappaDoc

In for a penny in for a pound!

Patrick,

It's safe to drink this Rev. Jims Kool Aid, It's 1989 Lynch Bages. I'd go to Church at Fenway if our Rev is pouring it from the Holy Grail Stanley Cup!

Go Yanks!

Dave Beckwith brought a 98 Evangile to a 98 Right Bank Dinner that Arv hosted some 5-6 years ago. I was so impressed I bought a btl (at a great price, thank You) from Josh. It was the winner in that blind tasting. I'm holding onto that btl as it's the sole Evangile I have. I'd like to hold it three ...

PappaDoc

Ian,

I got skunked on the 89 Cos. The Urziger TBA is still on though, and I'll bring a Champers for a starter.

PappaDoc

I drank my six btls years ago. I couldn't keep my hands off them and they were a bargin. I think I paid less than $30.00. I still remember the chocolate. You're going to have to be strong to wait 3-4 more years to drink the next one. I have btls that I bought as singles that I've held for 20+ years,...

Happy Birthday Lucie!

PappaDoc

These five would be my choices, having had them a couple of times each now. Lagrange-St Julien La Lagune-Medoc Haut Bailly Leoville Barton Pontet Canet Especially the Haut Bailly Two other 06s that really took me is the Brane Cantenac and Jimmys' Lynch. All these wines are "Classic" Bordea...

PappaDoc

Jim 06 White Burgs are excellent and drinking well now. The vintage has the minerality of the 04s and ripeness of the 05s. I have a half-dozen 06s, I drink them now. Ramonet is one of my favs, sugguest you buy a btl of his Village wines and the same for his 06 Premier Crus.

PappaDoc

Danny,

BV and Calera were the first Cal Pinot Noirs I took to . The Calera "Mills", "Jensen," "Selleck", "Reed", are all excellent vineyards. I've never mistaken these wines for Syrah, as I have with some other over extracted fruit bombs I'v drunk.

PappaDoc

Nice notes Michael. The Lafarge Bourgogne is de-classified Volnay AC, they are over 50years old and one of the best values in Red Burgundy. I have no idea why they chose to de-classify that area of Village vines. I have two btls left of the 96 Lafarge Bourgogne, I got 7 btls at Park Ave Liq in NYC a...

PappaDoc

Mark, My Wife Stephanie will tell the world I don't know _hit about finance. I'm sorry I am so wrong about currency values. You had been listing such great deals you'd been getting in the past couple of years, I was under the wrong impression that part of that "Wind Fall" was because the $...

Volnay and Morey St Dennis have the highest quality Producers of any Commune. They are always recommended as the "Safest places to tread in the "Burgundy Mine Field". D'Angerville is one of the top three Producers, and Champans is one of the best vineyards 06 is "The Real Deal&qu...

Sorry high price for High test Gasoline this past Summer was over $4.00 per Gallon (Pizza Scale stayed true at ten times 1967 rates) Prices have truely dropped for Gas in the last six to eight months. I paid $2.01 for high test in New Jersey today. ( the price is less because of state sales tax bein...

Alex, I posted an ancedotal incident that occured in the last 12 months. "If you ever wanted to part with some of your collection, there are a lot of buyers paying crazy money for wines at Hong Kong Auctions. Last spring a young 29 year old man from California bought 40 btls of 1990 Angelus fro...

Italian Harry,

PappaDoc

Werner,

Your going to love them, you can drink them young and get a lot of pleasure. Say hi to Chris and kiss the baby for me.

Best regards,

John

PappaDoc

Mark, I have only had 07 Whites which are outstanding. Paul Pernots wines blew me away, and 07 Chablis (which has had many excellent vintages since the 2000) is perhaps one of the best ever. I've only had 4 or five 07 reds, mostly Bourgognes. I'll look through my tasting sheets to see what I've trie...

PappaDoc

Jacques, I'll be there Sat, I look forward to seeing you. Chris, Every 06 Red Burg I've tried is excellent. Then again I've only tried about 25 and most were from good producers. It's the purity and freshness that stands out, with ripe fruit that's not over ripe but crunchy with snap. Sort of sweet ...

PappaDoc

I'm in as well. Don't have more than a couple of 89s left, but I have a Great 1989 Urziger "Wurzgarten" Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from Peter Nicolay that is a "Gold Medal" (Goldene Kammerpreismunze) that I'd like to pair against anyones 89 Sauteerns. I had the 89 Beerenausles...

PappaDoc

I've tasted drunk over 100 different 05 Red Burgs from Bourgogne Rouge, Village, Premier Cru, to perhaps 25 Grand Crus. Most from the best producers in their Communes. I've found most have the Hallmark "Black Fruit" profile, as did Chris, Schildknecht, and most other Burg lovers. I find ma...

PappaDoc

I had asked you in the if it was Wine Library in the original thread, but when you hadn't responded I thought perhaps it wasn't. Excellent wine and great buy at that price!!!!!!!!!

PappaDoc

And California is stuck with an ocean of wine they are unable to sell, A lot of the cult wines prices are tumbling. Wines will be sold at half price in many cases soon.

PappaDoc

Patrick all are excellent. As for Christoffel Three Star Auslese "Wine Advocate # 163 Feb 2006 David Schildknecht 96 Drink: 2006 - 2046 $53 (53) The “three star” 2004 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Auslese*** comes largely from beneath the Urzig sundial near the water’s edge. A gauze-like overlay ...

Jay, You didn't reveal the source for the $25.00 05 Barde Haut. I'm thinking you got yours by now and wouldn't mind shareing the source. "Re: The world is crashing, but Carruades holding firm by Jay Winton on Mon Mar 02, 2009 5:38 pm I was offered 05 Barde Haute for $25 if you buy a case today ...

PappaDoc

The 06 Bordeaux PJ listed are all excellent! When I posted on the "UGC" tasting in Jan, these chateau were some of my favorites, a couple surpassing or equal to the 05s. Pontet Canet La Lagune Lagrange Haut Bailly etc I say pass on the very expensive 05s and buy Classic Claret 06s at half ...

PappaDoc

Glenn,

I tasted it three months ago, drink now. We opend three btls two were fine, one was starting to go.

PappaDoc

I drank a Raveneau 1995 Butteaux this past Dec and it was holding strong. What is most surprising is none of the 1992 White Burgs, including every Colin Deleger Premire Cru were just fine in 2002, almost ten years after the vintage. The 92 Vintage was very ripe, some 1er wines having the volume of G...

PappaDoc

Jimbo,

Don't you have Wine-searcher Pro version?

PappaDoc

Stuart,

"Quinine", thats exactly the descriptor I'd looking for to suggest minerality with a bitter, as in marmelade, end note. Thanks very much!

"So shall it be done!"

PappaDoc

Ian,

Clavoillons is the one somewhat affordable Cru ($90-100)from Leflaive and it's always pleased me.
Long time no see, hope that changes in the near future.

John

PappaDoc

When it comes from a great year Leflaives "Chevy" is in the top five White Burgs for me.

PappaDoc

Jacques, I haven't really enjoyed one 2003 White Burgundy and that includes the Bienvenue Carillon I brought back from Burgundy, the Chevy you brought to Jackdaws, and the 03 Roulot Meursault "Charmes" I had this past weekend at "The 1976 Judgment Of Paris" Redux hosted by Ned To...
