Re: So what have you bought lately?
While waiting for my doctor to finish a colonoscopy before doing my endoscopy (I hope he washed his hands in between) I discovered that I had won a few lots at an auction: 6 2017 Vaudesir, L. Michel $381.30 6 1998 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir Laurene $227.55 6 2014 Chateau Haut Bailly $409.59 3 2009 L...

Re: So what have you bought lately?
What is the risk exposure if you buy with MC or VISA CC and ask for quick shipping? Unless the published agreements have changed since the PC debacle, I think the risk is nil. These days I only buy online with a CC even if I pay a premium for using a CC instead of a check just because of the protect...

Re: A fantastic night with Stu and Kathy
Great line up of wine and people!
It is always fun to have a taste off between the great 1982 Latour and 1982 Mouton, while 1990 Lafite shows that Pauillac is not all about power.

Re: Xmas 2023
Here is an interesting footnote on the bottle of the 1986 Pichon Lalande we drank on Xmas day. I corked the 2/3 of the bottle that we did not drink and put it into cold storage. Yesterday I tasted it. It was somewhat oxidized, of course, but I got nary a hint of taint. I poured a glass for stefanJr ...

Thanks, BD. Just the excuse I needed to resume buying wine. I have nary a bottle of 2019 and should plan to get some for drinking when I am 100+.

Re: 2005 Bellevue Mondotte
We've drunk three 2005s recently, all of which were good or better: Coufran, Pedescleaux, and D'Armailhac. I was surprised at how good Pedescleaux is. D'Armailhac is fuller and but not better overall for drinking now. Best to drink Pedescleaux now and hold D'Armailhac a bit longer.

Yes, you should have sold them to me. Then you could have continued to drink them if you visited Oregon.

Re: Checking in on 1998 first growths 25 years on
Great report as usual, Ian! It suggests that 1998 left bank wines are underrated, possibly because the 1998 vintage on the right bank was arguably the best of all time.

Re: Red Bordeaux : what are your 3 favorite vintages
Mine are the same as Stuart's, and his comments are spot on. I considered vintages 1960-2004 as I have drunk too few wines from vintages before or after that period to include them.
