Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

...on a perfect late July night in Maine. Even the President of the United States was in town this afternoon, he's no dummy.

With Rubinstein's version of Chopin's Nocturnes. I think I've said this before, I feel the human species reached its peak in the first half of the 1800s, when Chopin lived, culminating in the Nocturnes. How we went from that to the horror and evil that followed for the next 100 years is a question I hope to find an answer to before I head off to join the Great Stefan in the Great Tasting Room in the Sky. in the meantime.... on to La Pie de la Whoopee....

Nice, can’t go wrong with Niellon and I think the labeling was slightly updated with the 2019 vintage which unfortunately coincided with some hefty year over year increases at least via our wonderful 3 tiered system of ripping us off.

Jim, that’s literally the perfect combination of food and wine, lobster and Chassagne Montrachet - Wow.

It sure seems like Niellon has become BWE’s house white burg. Oh yeah, life is good, very good.

Three lobsters and Niellon are perfection You’re just one lobster short.

The Marquis de Chassagne was a character in a movie we watched last week - Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.

Three’s a charm … and Ceil wanted Sancerre over my general Chardonnay preference with lobster so I obliged.

Mmm doggie.

Oh man, you guys are torturing me lol. Now I’m wondering how I can get a couple lobsters this weekend!

Mmm. My mouth is watering. I am sorry that tonight I have to eat BBQ and drink cheap Bordeaux.

My daughter is home visiting from Denver. Her only request is lobsters and steamers while she's home. We plan to oblige tomorrow once the weather clears

BTW I hope you don’t mind a quick commercial, if anybody is interested in half a dozen bottles each of 2020 Vergers and Malatroie, I had to buy a 12 bottle case to buy a couple of Grand Crus. I am happy to keep six of each and was planning to sell the other six at my cost, which is $88. Currently in UK, arriving (hopefully) October.

Yes! I want all of them! I’m a greedy bastard!

That was a pretty quick sale!

Lol, I’m my kindness and benevolence of course I will share.

Ok sold.

You may have to come to Westchester to pick up the wines and we may have to do a lobster dinner offline to make sure they are decent.

So it is written. So it shall be done.
Man I still can’t get over what a match that was last night.
