95 points for the 2019 Sociando....if that gets released at $35 or thereabout would think should be superb value....

brodway

Wine Ex offering Pontet Canet at $79.25

Rarely buy small production names but would consider La Conseillante if pricing is reasonable.

brodway

Is any outfit in the US offering first tranch pricing?

brodway

Self fulfilling prophecy Bill....you will like 69 when you turn 84...Amen to that

As old and tired as he may look, Warren has lived a long and fulfilling life....i thought his last message is highly uplifting...."Don't bet against America"

brodway

Just as i was getting a hit list of 2018's together the 2019 vintage is here....decisions

brodway

Agree Jim....

Stefan looks younger and happier every year...saw Warren Buffet on TV yesterday and he looked terrible....i attribute that to him consuming a few cans of Cherry Coke every day...unlike Stefan that consumes the equivalent of 4 cans of soda of red wine...its the truth

brodway

Gouda....its so gooodaaaa...unfortunately $17.99 isn't what it used to be

I found the bitter tart cherry character in the 2016 Lanessan as well...didn't significantly improve over a four hour window..not sure i was a fan, but not giving it a fair opportunity to age and integrate would be unfair.

brodway

i think either Jim or another member mentioned Quintarelli Amarone years ago...have yet to come across a bottle of it...never have David...agree on Recioto...one of the best desert wines ever...i seem to gravitate towards the Allegrini, as i find the producer to be solid and maybe this applies to al...

Best experience with Italian wine for me was a 1996 Masseto from a 3 liter bottle. Was gifted to me by a friend who was ITB at the time he asked me to help him out with making purchase decisions on higher end wines for his shoppes. I remember inky dark fruit and a real depth in the wine that few win...

Jim

70's is the new 50's. You've survived many health issues, the coronavirus and many brutal opponents in the courtroom. If i were you i'd be buying as much wine as possible as it is apparently keeping you alive through the many challenges in your life. you are eternal my friend.

Have never tasted a Caparzo or Barbi that would have me going back to look for more. They are fine wines, and i could see how one could enjoy them, but i find some tartness and astringency that isn't pleasing to my palate. Ciacci Piccolomini on the other hand does a fantastic job with their Brunello...

brodway

Nipozzano brings back memories. Used to see those for under $12 and they never disappointed for the QPR. Brunello prices have come down and the Super Tuscan hype has faded with pricing coming down there as well. I enjoy a good Brunello (Siro Pacenti recently was a real treat) once every few months, ...

Stefan...

i see the Israeli cous cous is larger and more pearled in texture....so that would make sense

brodway

Stefan.... please let Lucy know that i actually made a very similar lamb stew on Sunday (i too used Cinnamon but instead of dates and orange juice i used an Indian Korma spice, dry apricots and red wine to braise the lamb) but served it over Farro which is nutty and meaty textured grain and stands u...

What is Warren Buffet doing in your kitchen drinking a CDP?

brodway

David...

no worries...feed the computer a bunch of Vitamin D, Vitamin C and inject it with a shot of chloroquine before turning it on...

brodway

Jim... Life goes on, it was not meant to be this year but I have no doubt the blue skies will drive the dark clouds away and we'll meet again some sunny day! and you say you are not a religious man...that was biblical i tell you.... there is no doubt that next year the trip will have more meaning to...

Le Bon Pasteur is a sneaky good Pomerol that has always surpassed my expectations...I've been searching the 2016 Le Bon Pasteur but haven't seen any locally....hoping to score some this summer

brodway

Mark i like the right bank Bordeaux for the same reasons you mentioned, but actually prefer the Trotanoy because it does in fact have a more stern structure but also the softness of the Merlot ...it'st just the the best of both worlds....we have discussed a tentative tasting this fall in NYC with Ja...

brodway

Stefan...

So they zoomed into your glass with their lens and you had a liter and a half of Bordeaux in your blood stream?

brodway

Zoom stock zoomed to the moon recently in spite of recent market correction

Arv

Had my last bottle of the 2001 Donjon a few weeks back. It was still singing...can you believe i paid no more than $30 a bottle for those...Who ever said Parker elevated the price of Rhone wines wasn't kidding...Still see Usseglio for a very reasonable entry price

brodway

Stefan

still have a few of the 90 Grand Mayne..... when socializing is permitted again will be happy to share

brodway

The consensus is that the BWE is drinking and eating well during lockdown

Blanquito....i love the 1990 La Louviere, i've gone through 6 bottles over last few years....same can be said for 1990 Grand Mayne....those 2 were phenomenal values... can't say i seem them at auctions any more

brodway

Stefan

Drink up those 1996 Sociando Mallet's.....last couple i've opened were more than ready for business...don't see how it can get better

brodway

Claudius Unfortunately the situation in NY is very disturbing as well. Have heard that a hospital in NYC had to move out all patients who have been in a coma for more than a year and move them to a nursing facilities where they will surely pass in order to create room for dozens C19 patients who hav...

brodway

that is what i thought....thank you for the confirmation....how about red currant? is there a French term for it? rarely pick this up in wines, but sometimes Pinot Noirs can possess this flavor characteristic

brodway

How do you differentiate between currant and cassis?

brodway

You can't underestimate Trump....watched a documentary about him last year....he was sent off to military school against his wishes...he became a captain there....leaders are sometimes born leaders...he certainly has that charisma

brodway

Depends who is running up against him. I say push Cuomo through after the current state of affairs are resolved and people will be pleased with a fresh option...

brodway

Jacques, i like the way he thinks....there is certainly a sense of religious concepts in his prose...even though he grew up in a secular family. the current US administration has abdicated the job of leader. It has made it very clear that it cares about the greatness of America far more than about t...

Humanity needs to make a choice. Will we travel down the route of disunity, or will we adopt the path of global solidarity? If we choose disunity, this will not only prolong the crisis, but will probably result in even worse catastrophes in the future. If we choose global solidarity, it will be a v...

Jacques Had never read Harari before, but he is a very good writer and he makes some very impactful statements. I think the following is sadly true.... the storm will pass, humankind will survive, most of us will still be alive — but we will inhabit a different world. When visiting European towns, p...

brodway

Cahors actually has a very interesting history....i've drank a few of them including some Tannat....goes great with grilled middle Eastern lamb dishes

brodway

David....

you've always had a soft spot for Rhone wines....the Pierre Usseglio mon Aïeul is always a treat...i don't think i've ever had a bad version of that bottling

i found this piece interesting...supports a bit of what Felix was saying earlier

Louisiana expects to run out of hospital beds in “as soon as a week”. Governor says no reason to believe LA won’t be the next Italy.

François Lumpp Givry 1er Cru A Vigne Rouge and Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru Clos de la Servoisine are over $40 a bottle...did not realize this region had gained this much popularity

brodway

Talbot has always been good....never had a great one that moved me...but reliable and at $30 or so for the 2000 a superb value...Please report back on the showing for the 2000...i have a few hidden in a dark deep cabinet
