i've actually had those Cotat Sancerre's from a different vintage and really enjoyed them

brodway

i used to drink Montagny and Mercurey when i was a starving student....i remember the days when i used to see these advertised by the front door for $9.99 per bottle...i always thought they were somewhat complex and flavorful wines. It seems in Burgundy, 100 feet left or right could mean the differe...

Like Jim, I’ve been catching up on household chores, getting lots of QT with the fam, and cooking up a storm. Amazing opportunity to reconnect with family...lots of cooking, walking, playing catch with the dog and having human conversations with kids instead of texting Going to go through my stash ...

Dstgolf... i agree with most of what that report states...its well thought out and maybe the numbers aren't precise but the trends do make a lot of sense...the last sentence really describes what our biggest challenge really is. It's very hard to get them to do so in a pandemic that looks invisible ...

Love Andrew Cuomo's posture and demeanor....amazing when you watch a real politician at work, one starts to understand what it is we've been missing. He may not be seasoned and some of the things he says are not polished, but you know that he speaks from the heart. Jim...you know like when you drink...

Can't wait...we need some cheer in NYC...and a medoc or two post Corona scare would be very welcomed

brodway

Jim... these are all good questions....and you are in fact bring up very good points regarding how much can we as a country afford to continue to be shut down....really don't know that answer to this. i would think that there are people in state and federal govt's that would be getting paid a wage t...

brodway

David if you consider that 5 gov't legislators sold off their stocks and equities in January having seen the data that was not available to little people like us, then the question of property does come into the equation. One of them actually sold off an airline stock and purchased a drug maker that...

brodway

Jim you also have to accept what the Governor of Texas is preaching with a grain of salt. Oil prices collapsed to levels that have become uneconomic to drill oil for upstream companies. This group represents a substantial portion of the TX economy which i'm sure generates great funding for the state...

test for Covid, is it clear like a pregnancy test? When you pass it, do they explain all what it is about and show you proof of the result? Or is it the Believe me, you're contaminated. Go home, isolated yourself and if worst, call the ambulance? Nic... I too find the test is of less significance t...

Produtorri Barbaresco is carried by my local store for $35....i'm going to make that the first purchase since the moratorium has been lifted.

brodway

Thank you Jacques and JC on the Piedmonte recommendation. Seeing Vinous has rated the Barbaresco's quite highly in 2016. How about Cigliuti Barbaresco Vigna Erte ? Could bring cost down to $38.65 per bottle if a few members want to split up 2 cases.

I'm just wondering whether the shutdown of 8 billion people is a proportionate response That is the $64k question....i don't think anyone can answer that with a degree of certainty...the speed of the spread is scary...its like wildfire...some of the bushes will burn and others will survive....Do i ...

That number can grow....faster than you may think...Its not clear its been in the US or in Maine for 6 months.....

Got information from a nurse in Long Island NY...they have about a dozen patients just in her hospital in intensive care....she doesn't think they are all going to make it. Most of them are between 45 and 65. This is with the best health care available in the world. NO, not everyone will wind up in ...

Jim i think the issue is that there are a whole lot of sick people that have gone undiagnosed. i know of at least a half dozen people who have the Corona virus and are not exhibiting any acute symptoms. The most significant symptoms are the loss of taste and smell. So these people are not being coun...

brodway

They include liquor stores, wine shops, distilleries and (medical) marijuana shops

What else would a man need?

brodway

Cladius Have tasted all those appellations of the Burgundy region....much of Puligny, Chassagne and Batard have risen to trophy status pricing. Corton used to be a phenomenal value for a more focused, clean drink, but those are not inexpensive either. Always on the lookout for something new, but i g...

90 Bourgneuf and Gazin....if its whom i think you are referring to. It was one of the reasons i purchased the 2016 Gazin last year.

brodway

Claudius i don't necessarily reach for NZ Sauvignon Blanc as my go to white, and as i mentioned in the post above also don't enjoy the greenish and pungent profile of many of them. Having said that i used to select wines for a friend who used to own several wine shops nearby and have tasted dozens o...

I've been drinking up a case of the 1998 Rouget...excellent value and keeps getting better every cork pull...Next time we meet i'll bring a bottle

brodway

I think the NZ Sauvignon Blancs certainly have their place in the wine cabinet. On hot summer days, i find a nicely chilled NZ SB is crisp and full of exotic flavors that one doesn't get from California SB which tend to be fatter and less crisp. There are some wine makers in California that do subsc...

Jacques Please send our hugs and kisses to Jill. Wishing her many, many more. Julie's birthday is this Saturday, but we are going to be doing mostly same close family gathering. I've noticed you have been drinking a lot more champagne that you used to. It must be one of the pleasures of retirement. ...

brodway

Jacques How Presidential is Cuomo looking during this political debacle ? So far he has been a voice of reason and sound leadership for NY. This is the kind of new blood the country need, i believe. Have not purchased a single bottle this year and the withdrawal symptoms have subsided almost 3 month...

The D'Angerville Volnay is one of my favorites bar none. I was introduced to it by Tim M in Paris several years ago. Rarely do i see them on any retail displays but always on the look out for them. The 2010's are beautiful, like music in a glass.

brodway

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Bought a six pack on Black Friday 2019 and look forward popping one soon

My experience with 2016 Lanessan recently wasn't as promising.

Arv

20 years, for my palate, Bordeaux is really at its apex. Agree a lot of 2001's and 2002's are drinking stellar right now.

brodway

Another phenomenal BWE get together...Stu and the Florida crew really know how to live it up

The Jadot Batard is a real treat....when its not oxidized

brodway

Stu is the man.....pulling rabbits out of a hat....wow phenomenal lineup....

Stu has been reporting on some really impressive wine and food tastings lately....way to enjoy wine and friends

breakfast at your house when the milkman fails to show up must be fun times

Jacques.

Short ribs stewed in red wine with a bouquet garni for aromatics and you will be in heaven. Other herbs can work well too.

Jim

What if we have an unlimited supply of Lynch Bages and Whoopie Pies? Would you live to a 100?

brodway

have had very similar experience with a case of 2002 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. sitting on 1 bottle which i will greatly regret once it gone. i find the off vintages offer very classic Bordeaux qualities that amplify structure over fruit and they are just perfect for times you are sitting around pon...

Shawshank Redemption is up there for me as well. Really a life lesson. You ever find Zihuatanejo

i used to love Pesquera in the mid 90's. it was a phenomenal value that i drank at least on a half dozen occasions a year. i really don't remember a bad bottle. probably wouldn't consider one now with my palate transformed over last 20 years but it sure served me well at a time when my budget was co...

Celebrating a friend's birthday last night we had 1996 Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf Du Pape (from mangnum) With Pappardelle and Fungi. This was absolutely singing. Drinking at peak now with tannins resolved and its as smooth and clean as any CDP i've ever had. All the components are in harmony.......

brodway

Talbot can still be found for under $60 which is certainly not a QPR anymore, but Total Wine to me has never been a source of good value. Their prices seem as though controlled by a hedge fund. Several months ago i attempted to pick up 2016 Tronquoy Lalande on their website with local pick up. This ...
