Harry C.

Slow and steady wins the ran. the alcohol will be there afterward and it will be better aged!

Harry C.

How ya doin"?

Harry C.

Some of the lesser Margaux, Chasse Spleen, lesser St Emilion. And if you liked the 2003 Sauternes (on the rich side) 2016 is for you.

Harry C.

Tasted at UGC NYC. Disappointed. Will not be buying. Better wines for the price out there in this year.

Harry C.

Is everyone comfortable that the premox affair is over??

Harry C.

Cut back on your dose of medicinal Marijuana!

I heard an interesting comment. They were betting Mueller planned for this scenario and will submit to Grand Jury that they rule on the evidence presented, get their OK then submit to the court all illegal evidence and charges ASAP. If he just submits a report to the DOJ it gets buried. Also, expect...

Wines of the past: 1975 De Malle This was the wine that opened my eyes on better dessert wines 1980 Climens shelf price was $13- 750ml. A steal from a year that was much better in whites than reds. 1988 Yquem IMO best of the trio 88,89,90 due to the better acidity 2001 Yquem only young Sauternes I g...

They built this city...RIP

Harry C.

A waste!

Harry C.

Barsac Magnum! Baller!

What the hell did you do-marry her when she was 1??

How about pushing for a state law for uniform standards for so-called medical experts? Some states have done this.

For them to release 87-90 on us consumers, find out 50%(?) are corked, not provide any recourse is all I need to know. I have not bought DB since and until sold to totally new owners , will never.

Alex. There is precedent for evangelicals changing their tune when their political savior has gone against their core beliefs. Think Ronald Reagan and divorce. In the 50-60s and prior divorce was a no-no. But along comes divorced Reagan and they change their tune, big time. Yet they still go after t...

Put a call into Bern's in Tampa and speak to one of the sommeliers. They have very cold storage and they may be able to hook you up if you go down there. Not a bad short trip from cold Maine.

The thing that jumped out at me was the implication that "parkerized" Bordeaux won't age well. This argument had validity in the 1990s, but the term "parkerized" has been thrown at certain wines since then and the late 80s, 90s wines have aged as excepted, good, bad, etc. The goo...

This is another 2000 when it starts slowly out of the gate but gains steam with time/airing. I'm not convinced the bigger names are any where ready.

Harry C.

1989 Haut Brion. One of my Top Bordeaux ever tasted.

Harry C.

I find the taste/smell of cow horn overwhelming!

Harry C.

Wasn't 2000 P-L controversial like the 1990? IIRC

Harry C.

So, Jim. How are the less growth 2005 Bordeaux tasting????

Harry C.

A-don't knock it till you've tried it! Can be great.

Harry C.

Roasted chicken; steak with a blue cheese sauce; Thai food with a little spice This'll get you going.

Harry C.

Thanks all. Yes it was small, but what few I had were good-but I selectively drink the better years in Sauternes.

Harry C.

1-When I first discovered Sauternes I preferred them young. As I have aged, I like the aged ones more and more. 2- I remember when Coutet was clearly in the lesser half of the first growths, but the past 15 years has seen a real improvement. 3-When some of the Sauternes started making "special&...

Harry C.

Surprised it hasn't been written about here-or I missed it.

Harry C.

I'll play 2010

Harry C.

Two things come to mind. My favorite is Chinatown. John Water's favorite porn film name is Shaving Ryan's Privates!!

Harry C.

Delayed Parker effect.

Harry C.

I am not a fan. Price too high from what's in the bottle.

I was channel surfing and came upon Rachel Maddow show. She gave an interesting take to the Trump team shake up. When Gov McGreavy of NJ announced he was gay and resigned, his boyfriend at the time was given a private job out of the Government by a big Dem contributor-name escapes. The donor was lat...

Harry C.

Any chance he was sexually abused as a child?

Harry C.

Jim, welcome to the Baron side!

Harry C.

1980 Lamb dinner at a friend's house; 1976 Giscours First time food elevated the wine and wine elevated the food.

Harry C.

1961 Haut Brion
1989 Haut Brion
2001 Ch. Yquem

Harry C.

I have always found the Chasse Spleen is my tell-all wine. It tells how the vintage is going and if it is ready to drink.

Harry C.

Biafra???!!! Jim, you are showing your age.

Harry C.

Anticipate zero. Why? My age and their price, and 2010 and earlier are easily obtained.
