Re: 2013 BWE WINE OF THE YEAR: 2004 SMITH HAUT LAFITTE
Nick and Jim...you guys are too convincing. I'm going to pitch my better half to see it your way, so you can me put down as a tentative. Going to post same to the appropriate thread.

So you mean to say we won't have another vintage of the century ?

Jacques...you and Jill really living it up these days. The theme song from the Jeffersons just comes to mind when i imagine you hanging out in your robe on the terrace with a tall glass of bubbly.

Look forward seeing you soon.

Stefan...glad to see you still sporting a wine appetite the size of Texas. Will have to run the idea by my lovely bride, as she doesn't share my enthusiasm in wine these days, but would love to see some old and new faces.

Any time you get up this way, just let me know. NJ is a very corkage friendly state, but I'm sure a corkage friendly venue can be located in NYC as well. Haven't seen Jacques and Jill in some time and miss them dearly.

Re: 2013 BWE WINE OF THE YEAR: 2004 SMITH HAUT LAFITTE
Jim.
Was just thinking with all the great Bordeaux vintages since 2000, the BWE clan had to have uncovered some values.
My cellar was thinning out and its time to reload. Good to see many of you still here.

Re: Finger Lakes
Alex, i haven't been in this region for some time, but my wife and i used to spend some wonderful summer weekends here. You can always get a nice meal at the Buttermilk Falls B&B with a nice view of the fall. I remember they used to serve up a nice (local) orange duck and some delicious home mad...

Re: 1989 Bordeaux tasting - October 17
If there is room for this event, please count me in. I know i have a 89 Montrose, but someone is already bringing this, so i'll find something else.

Re: Swimming in wines
Sounds like another great pool party. This is our highlight of the year. Wish we could be there, but we were basking in the Napa Valley sun and drinking some California grape juice. Hope to see you all soon. Cheers.

Jim...
I've been trying to break into the old BWE for the last few years. At some i gave up. Ifeel like i've escaped from jail and landed onto the shores of Zihuatanejo.*

Re: TN: 2001 Selbach Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese
I too enjoyed some 2001 Selbach Oster rieslings from the Kabinett level to the Auslese level and the Spatlesen seem to be the sweet spot. Obviously the vintage was a great success but when you get that combination of lipsmacking acidity and the bright sugars clash into a bouquet of peach and apricot...

Re: Lady but I just like Ridge
Wow...congrats on this new forum. I brought a 2001 Lytton Springs to a friends house on Saturday and we matched it with some lamb kufta kebab with Middle Eastern spices and it was phenomenal. It was delicious and easy to drink given the alcohol levels already discussed, and the vinosity for this var...
