Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

I wondered in Noah's thread given his comment about lack of brett, does this mean it will eventually vanish given time? I think a novice drinker might confuse a wine with brett as corked.

Jay Winton

Interesting comment Noah. So does this mean brett will eventually vanish with time?

Jay Winton

So the famous Cordier "funk" was not in the room? Some might call it brett. Great tasting!

We've been mulling renting a place in France next year, in part to celebrate mrs vino's transition (not using the R word) from 20 years at her organization. It would be nice to join the group for some tastings.

Jay Winton

Thanks Arv. Nice to see so many familiar faces!

I opened another 2000 SM the other night. Served with grilled tuna and chicken. Yes, there was a hint of green, under ripe fruit but the gorgeous cascade of rich flavors made this bottle a great drinker. Could age be diminishing the almost overwhelming greenness found in some bottles????

I believe they call it LOBSTAH in Maine.

Jay Winton

good to see you posting Noah; looks like a fun evening! I've been eyeing my 04 GA Bollinger. Might be time for as bottle soon.

Jay Winton

no issues with B-21 for me. Good shipping rates and free shipping every month on the 21st. You have to email them but they do reply.

We enjoyed BC wines when we visited Vancouver a few years ago, pretty much impossible to find in the US,

Jay Winton

bumping this but it doesn't appear anyone is available.

Jay Winton

The year of incredible heat in Europe. Thousands died including many in non air conditioned nursing facilities-never saw much investigation of this calamity. So, I wasn't enthusiastic about this vintage in Bordeaux.

A Van Halen song seems appropriate: Everybody wants some.

We will be in Denver from April 25th through Thursday the 28th. We will have some free nights (Peggy less so as it's her final conference) but would enjoy a dinner if anyone is available. Staying at the Hyatt Regency and might have some entertaining room there depending on the size of the suite we'r...

Jay Winton

We're an eclectic group-not news. It keeps things interesting.

Jay Winton

Yes, you have to be hip like Mr. Vino to know who Lenny Breau was, Claudius. We cool people extend our horizons beyond Jimi Hendricks and Eric Clapton. Although, I liked the Super Bowl hip hop half time show this year and I think Mr. Vino was surprisingly down on it, I thought a hipster like that c...

Jay Winton

Wow, Lenny Breau. A sad sad life but an incredible talent. I have a recording with Tal Farlow that really swings. I saw him in college playing his seven string guitar at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.

But there are years when there is much more than a little to my palate.

The 2000 for example

The BWE devils enabled me into a case of the 96, all drunk. Very good not great. Less than $300, those days are long gone

Jay Winton

Father Stefan, the bearded one. Glad BWE continues to mingle!

Jay Winton

A great occasion!

Jay Winton

I paid $45pb in 2017 so prices have gone up.

Jay Winton

I always read that 2002 was the king of fairly recent red burg vintages not to knock 2005.

Jay Winton

Well, I opened a Bordeaux last-2006 La Gurgue, not too exciting. I can do better.

Jay Winton

I drank a bottle of the 2012 recently-nice wine.

Jay Winton

Hey hey hey. I'm not giving up on all of us getting together.. let me add, Peggy will be hosting her annual convention in Denver at the end of April. I can't confirm but usually a large suite is assigned for her. I have been given sign off to have gatherings in the suite. Your humble servant Mr vino

Jay Winton

Thank you Dr Roberts. A nice vacation read!

Sounds like a book to me

Jay Winton

got some Repours. Thanks David!

Jay Winton

I drank a 2014 Jadot Volnay with the cordon bleu last night. A pleasant wine that opened up in the glass. Might improve a bit. Solid B. Travel safely Nic!

Jay Winton

B-21 in florida has the 15,16 and 18 Lanessan for $19.98. Free shipping on the 21st of every month for case + orders or $12/case but that might vary. Online only as they don't seem to take phone calls.

Jay Winton

If it's on youtube, it can be recorded.

female Giant Panda with a headache rather than a bucking broncho
This is a new descriptor to me. I learn mucho from BWEs.

Jay Winton

Sorry Jim. Doesn't the judge have some responsibility to ensure the safety of all participants? We're desperately trying to avoid the omicron. N95s when I have to go out for food. The whole thing sucks!

Jay Winton

Some good news in the midst of it all. There's a FB group if you are a user.

Jay Winton

We opened a 2010 Cantermerle a few days ago. After a brief decant, it resembled the bottle Nic enjoyed. I can't give it an A yet but a solid B+ and will improve. The finish was lacking, IMHO.

Jay Winton

North to Alaska, North to Russia's own!

Jay Winton

The bottle of 82 Montrose wasn't in the best of shape, mid shoulder fill and a completely saturated cork that came out in two pieces. My father thought it wouldn't improve as the sharp tannins were overwhelming the fruit. I've had this a few times and always thought it should have been a better wine...

Jay Winton

Good start. Long way to go.
