I got all my 2019s with the exception of 750ml Clinet...(I got my Clinet splits)

Even our local Trader Joe’s has 19 Giscours for 69.99...Not exactly near release price though...

Picked up some Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and got a mix of... For my consumption rate, I think I am pretty much done buying, but will buy few bottles here and there based on future vintages, and also will just buy a bottle here and there of some trophy wines going forward just for the experienc...

Nice detailed report, Mike. Glad you had a fantastic trip... I am glad that Dunn HM is shining. Have 05, 08 and 12 of Dunn HM resting in my cellar. Dunn wines need quite a bit of time to come around (although some find them a bit more green to their liking) and show their stuff. Heard about Favia, b...

Happy Thanksgiving to all... As tradition for us commands, we will meet at one of my sister in law’s place for dinner. But before that, the three families (along with the kids) join together to prepare food during the day, while (the adults) sipping some weekday quaffers. For the dinner, we will ope...

Or for that price of Petrus, BD should get a coravin and can enjoy it in multiple times...Will be well spent money on coravin....

Social media (facebook and twitter primarily) is the worst thing that happened to people since WW2... Dozen years or so ago, even before Facebook went public, I told my friends and relatives that it’s a bad platform and does more harm than good. I was made a mockery of it then, and some came around ...

I agree... 2016 is a cellar vintage to my liking.

2019 is the vintage that I bought without tasting any, but I think they will also show well...

I find Gilette CdT more than any other chateau in the market though...

Chablis - William Fevre
Burgundy - Jadot

Beaujolais - Diochon/Lapierre
Barolo - Pio Cesare
Bordeaux - Sociando
Oregon - St Innocent

You can contact the winery. (805) 695-4119 I dealt with Julia Wiggin once and Carrie Steinmeyer once. See if they have any and if they ship it to you The tastings at DDLC are closed as I was told that they don’t have any wine to pour. But no harm in calling as they might have something to ship. I j...

I'm so glad you like it, CV. Speaking of boycotting stuff in some other threads, I have a friend who boycotts Domaine de la Cote because she dislikes Raj Parr 🤦🏼‍♂️. Jeez, in the words of every millennial out there: I can't, I just can't.. :D I think the wines are excellent. The Bloom's Field is my...

Yes..

Arv’s point about screwed up medical reports is spot on. I would be curious to know if it resulted in death or a more horrible medical outcome for anyone who took the test. Do we know any more? I think they were using established technology to back up/fake results from the non-functional Theranos t...

I am yet to differ on jal’s recommended wines so far... This is a dynamite wine like a cru level one or something, even though it is an estate pinot... I know Blanquito remembers the bouquet of 2012 Momtazi, and this one is on par with that when it comes to bouquet...Blanquito will not be disappoint...

Kerin is the ultimate grade inflator, more than sucker... :o She has this thing for ‘marasca cherry’, and boy she can nail it in every Nebbiolo with a thump... :lol: But anyway, I don’t know about 2019, but that’s one heck a producer, and I myself have been looking for the 15/16 version of it for aw...

Not quite sure what you mean CV. Jim, I was simply alluding that every little thing is being presented through the lens of religion or by special interests who stand to make money or cling onto power. The issues you mentioned such as reproductive rights, lgbtq, etc. are presented through the lens o...

I just think the sentence is harsh, Looking from a perspective of someone who gets put in jail for shoplifting or for the possession of small amounts of marijuana, the sentence of Holmes is slap on the wrist. From the perspective of white collar trial lawyers, they think her sentence is too much. T...

I think the western Europeans seem to generally have it about right on crime, punishment, climate advocacy, health care, women’s health, employment, and reproductive rights, worker’s rights, sexual freedom, religion, etc. In my opinion, when you mix religion, power and wealth that’s what happens. B...

I had a judge put an 8 month pregnant woman (3 centimeters dilated, due Dec 17th) in jail yesterday because she violated her one year probation not by committing new criminal conduct but by having contact with the boyfriend/father of her child that she punched last March. My head wanted to explode....

I agree with Musigny... I see lot of parallels between Trump and Elon. Both are narcissists. Both are childish, picking up fights on twitter. Both throw temper tantrums. Both try to silence someone who disagrees with them. Both flaunt wealth to the point where it is immature and childish. Both abuse...

. . . …which when you think about it is very good for our boys… …because they are not burdened with the weight of expectation Hmm. I don't know which teams are strong, but wondering how good is the English team this time.... But your boys won the T20 world cup (that was heart warming, considering w...

I usually get the splits of Geyserville instead of regulars. Early drinkability, easy to fly solo, and a good weekend quaffer. The splits are perfect for me, to have a good bottle when I feel like, without opening a not needed regular bottle of a more expensive bordeaux. My favorite is 13, followed ...

This excruciating video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sv3x8YEblpw It was like watching a car crash in slow motion, starting with the Cos which was the screech and skid. Impact was the Mouton and the jaws of life extraction was Lafite. In between were more minor moments of agony, Dufort, more excruc...

Boy, I’ll tell you, the Dems had better win Georgia because 2024 is going to rough. There are like zero vulnerable Republicans and like 3-4 vulnerable Democrats. I think the Democrats win Georgia easily. Republicans voted for Walker while holding their nose just to win the Senate, now that the Sena...

And one more thing in my opinion... Although the constitutional setup of Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches is intended to promote dialogue and compromise, lately I feel that Senate has become more powerful (again, it’s my opinion). If we go back to history, actually Senate members were no...

I would like to add some slight change to answer— President can’t do line item veto. Either he/she has to veto the bill entirely or not. I think the second Bush administration tried to do it, and it was declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS. Line item is a bad thing. If it were to be the law of the la...

Chateau Vin

For me, that hairline crack doesn't bode well with me...If the wine is being laid down for years, then it might create a problem. Can they swap it with equally or slightly more priced producer wine? Even if it means a burgundy or barolo or a right banker, etc.? If you wanna open it ITNOS sooner, the...

Ahh, Cote du Py… of course. As an Rπ grad, I am more familiar with the digits than I ought to be. The freshman engineering students/geeks used to show off how many digits they could recite from memory. Irrational as that sounds… And Pi is an irrational number too... :D No explaining the joke! :D :D...
