you are aging yourself Jim...those movies were of a different era....great movies i don't think our youth would appreciate in this day and age

Alex from what i've read up to date on Pessac Leognan, the region did especially well in 2016. Did you find consistency tasting any 2016 wines in the region during your recent trip?

When is the Zachy's 20% off Bordeaux sale generally offered?

Seeing a few items i would like to pick up this year. Have not bought anything since around Thanksgiving

prayers going out....godspeed recovery

Jim

was it Bad Bunny that caught your attention?

Stefan

thank you for the reminder. picked up the Repour for the first time. if it really does what it advertises it will save me from trashing a good amount of wine as my wife rarely consumes any alcohol

brodway

was just looking at an email posted below on an up and coming Lebanese wine and thought to myself have not enjoyed a bottle of Musar in a very long time

Cote be Baleau has been a regular for me...have been drinking them since 2000 vintage..i find them to be early drinkers...have to find a bottle of the 2016 for sure

brodway

JC i had a note on the Fombrauge from a small sample at a local wine shop. it was a good wine with a good bit of fruit not unlike a number of 2016's. i only bought a bottle of it as i thought it was a wine i'd like to try again in a few years. if it was under $30 i'd be a buyer, but i had a better n...

the 2001 Sauternes are off the charts good....bought a good amount that year as it was daughter's birth year. we tend to open a bottle or two every year and they are delicious consistently in 2001

brodway

agree with Stefan

bought very little of 2001 but have a couple Las Cases and a La Mission so bought quality over quantity in the vintage. sounds like these may be drinkable now

brodway

Huet wines are just a pure pleasure to drink....I always get a bottle of Le Mont when i see it in stock.
Marcs...not sure if you ever shopped at Chambers Street wines, they used to carry a nice selection of Loire wines

This is a truly pathetic performnce by Mr. Jacques Levy.

Says the man who acquired 600 bottles of 2014 Bordeaux months before calling the moratorium

We ordered it and it was cooked pretty evenly medium and brought to the table. the 9 of us ate heartily and had leftovers for the dogs. When you are on the right coast, i can introduce you to this beastly serving of protein

In 2000 this was one of the best QPR's identified in discussions on BWE

Has anyone tried the 2016 version? Its still trading at $20 a bottle (Winex) which is a bargain if its of similar quality to the 2000 or perhaps better

brodway

Blanquito i've been buying a really nice vintage olive oil from Calvert Woodley for about a decade now for what is a very reasonable price point. there is no sweetness that you reference in your post above and its great with meat, grilled vegetables and salads https://www.calvertwoodley.com/accessor...

Finally had the opportunity to take up AKR on his theory of the 2000 Malescot needing to be consumed immediately. In celebration of my brother in laws birthday, 4 adults and 5 young adults shared a 120 oz T-Bone with various side dishes. 2000 Malescot St. Exupery Earth and dark berries with a twist ...

Stu i applaud you for celebrating the essence of food and wine at its finest....i think that is what this board is all about, specifically sharing our experiences of wines we can truly appreciate when others may think we are wine snobs....it seems that Trotanoy did well on a day where the competitio...

brodway

Chris Lanessan at $17 is a steal...i would also look at Cantemerle at $30 (got an email from LA Wine this afternoon), Haut Brisson $23, Meyney $33, Olivier $32, Lilian Ladouys $23, Fonbadet $32, Fombrauge $32, Badette $32, Tour St. Christophe $33, Fontenil $25, Pressac $30, Poesia (saw it at $33 sti...

brodway

other than Calon Segur and Rauzan Segla i don't see any compelling deals with the NH pricing taken into account 15% off. what am i missing ? i see many of the wines i would want to have in my cellar available nationally and in many instances delivered tax free https://www.liquorandwineoutlets.com/wi...

brodway

i agree with Orlando

most of the classified 2000 Bordeaux is just starting to enter drinking window...and the sub $25 2000's bottles have kept me happy for a very long time. planning on popping the Malescot soon....will report on it

brodway

Marcs...

just because we are discussing the menu, doesn't mean we are ordering the food....

brodway

thanks for the link...will peruse and get a wish list ready for August....

brodway

JIm

is there a way to see the inventory of 2016 Bordeaux that NH carries? i'm tempted to add to a few 2016's now especially the Sociano, but may hold off is NH has it in stock and i can certainly wait to August to acquire them. no plan to drink them any time soon.

The dicatorial (legislative) intent was that there would be no more granting of exemptions after midnight on 12/31 Jim.... I could be mistaken, but if the issue of fact was previously in question and your honor did strike down the gavel at midnight of 12/31/19 deciding in favor of a BWE members req...

brodway

Comte

Your plea for exemption at this level may not be an appropriate venue. 63 Santi is almost holy. I will leave this to the BD, but its very possible that the Vatican may need to render this decision.

brodway

Here's what's interesting. Sociando is only trading 30% more than what we paid in 1999-2000 for the 1996...That is very fair pricing given 20 years of built in inflation...Even at 3% compounded per year, the wine costs less in terms of purchasing power today than it did 20 years ago. I'm with Jim......

brodway

Jim....

why is it that each member has to make a new application for an exemption on something that was already decided in a previous ruling? wouldn't each and every BWE member be subject to same exemption based on res judicata ?

brodway

We lawyers have a term, "nunc pro tunc," Latin for "now for then."

L'Evangile is a beauty in 95 and 98....drank my last bottle a year ago and haven't bought any recently as the price has gradually taken me out of the market for the wine.

brodway

agreed Arv....i've been buying a few of each one of the Kwok estates.....the Haut Brisson is $22.99....i'd be hard pressed to find any wine in this price range to compete.

brodway

La Lagune comes through again...its a perennial favorite in your household

brodway

Tacos/Quesadillas sounds like the right move...a bit of lime and cilantro will add freshness to the meat

brodway

Stefan

How do you manage it all. Grandkids poker games elaborate dinners serving quality drink and keeping track of all the inventory at all the residences...making sure not to run out? I want to be like you when I grow up

brodway

Have the tales of the generosity of the benelovent benefactor been told here in recent times.

brodway

Recently commented on the 99 Quinault L'Enclos. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. The 2000 seems to share some of the characteristics of the 99 and I dont find chocolate and layered fruit a bad thing. The 99 didn't have the stewed qualities and I'll be looking for more at auction if I come across any

brodway

That's a heartfelt note. Bellefont Belcier would certainly be a treat for those making the journey to France
