BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I'm very much looking forward to these three days as a I'm sure all of you are as well.
I've seen random posts about what some people are planning to bring so I figured I would post a new thread so that it can all be in one place.
Still subject to change but below are some of the wines that I am considering bringing each night, and may adjust if anyone has any specific interest or to set up a horizontal or vertical of like wines.
Thursday Pomerol:
2000 La Conseillante
Maybe 1983 VCC or 1998 L'evangile
2010, 2011 or 2014 1er white burg
Friday options:
1983 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle
1999 Togni
2005 Red Burg
Maybe a 2001 Riesling Auslese or older
Saturday-Lots of options, input especially welcome here.
1989 Pichon Baron
1982/1989 La Dominique
Curious to see what others are planning, anyone planning to do some blind tasting can feel free to skip this obviously

I’m going to bring a mystery wine on Saturday night, among others.

The only hint I will give is that it is a RMP100.

What else are you bringing, Joel? Kidding...Saturday-Lots of options, input especially welcome here.
1989 Pichon Baron
1989 Beychevelle
1990/1995 Haut Bailly
1982/1989 La Dominique
1989 Las Cases
1986/1988 Climens
Oooh, Nicola brought two bottles of 1990 Haut Bailly to the very first BWE convention in Chicago in February 2001, they were memorable.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Lol, Not bringing All of those Jim. Just 3 or so most likely. I was asking for input, since I have more options for last minute changes being in the area. I'll happily pick myself of course but always fun to bring what people like.JimHow wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:21 pmWhat else are you bringing, Joel?

Maybe I should save the 1990 Haut Bailly for when Nicola makes it down next time then.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Well, if you’re looking for requests, I’m sure the 89 Purple Baron would please the room! I’m also a big fan of those two La Dominique. Instead of the 85 Canon, I could bring the 89 Pichon Lalande along with the 89 Canon to go with your Baron and Dominique, and we’d have the nice start on an 89 flight with some Left and Right.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Very well thought out, I agree with every part of this plan. i will pencil in the 89 Baron, 82 and 89 La Dominique for Saturday. I can trim off one of vintages of La Dominique if anyone else has other thoughts.Blanquito wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 3:22 am Well, if you’re looking for requests, I’m sure the 89 Purple Baron would please the room!

It would be quite fun to try both 89 Pichon's next to each other as I've had them both fairly recently.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
My guests and I are bringing a 6L of a well regarded Bordeaux from 1996 for Saturday. Do we need champagne as well for Saturday? As for Friday, maybe Italian maybe a Rhone-also can bring champagne as well but I know we have the champagne reception at 4.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I was thinking of bringing some Rhys Pinot and Chardonnay on Friday, but now I'm thinking of bringing 2001 CdP like Pegau and/or Beaucastel. Any thoughts?
Saturday night I'm bringing 1983 Montrose, 1986 Gruaud Larose and 1986 Rauzan Segla.

We just returned from visiting our new granddaughter (and her parents) in British Columbia.
I'm digging through the cellar to find the bottles I have in mind. I'll use the info above to help make selections.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I am bringing myself. Because BWE "is not about the wine, it is about the people."
See you all soon! I was thinking about buying some Cali chardonnay in your honor today, Harry, at the NH chardonnay/pinot sale.
What was that wine Gerry/Patrick was talking about a few months ago, it's in stock in NH>
Gerry, do you have any chardonnay recommendations in NH this month?

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I pulled the wines for this trip over a month ago and promptly put them in the check-in box, and I can't recall what they are! Other than the 3 that belong to BD (I am a mule at BD's command), a couple of aged Bordeaux and I think a JL Chave blanc (late 90s), I really have forgotten. So it will be a surprise for me too.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Stony Hill Chardonnay, maybe? At $50 or less, it is a great value for a terrific, age worthy white wine.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Yes! That's what it was.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
FYI that I'm bringing a 2001 Pegau on Friday -- could be fine to have two bottles though! Especially with the bottle variation you get with Pegau
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Saturday, apropos of the 2000 vs 2001 thread/debate, we’ll bring a 2000 Haut Brion and La Miss. Anyone have the 2001 versions?
We’ll need Champagne for Saturday, probably 4-6 bottles. We can bring a couple of bottles.
Not sure about Friday. Maybe German Riesling or Napa Cab?

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I can bring 2001 Vieux Telegraph along with Beaucastel if you are bringing Pegau (in my mind the best of those 3 in 2001).

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I will bring the 02 Pol Roger BdB, along with the 89 Pichon Lalande and 89 Canon, and a sauternes TBD (non-d’Yquem division).

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
On Thursday, we will be bringing a 2015 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot (Bernard Moreau), 2010 Le Conseillante and 1986 Yquem.
On Friday we will bring 2015 Meursault Poruzot (Louis Latour), 1987 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon and a to be determined German Riesling Auslese.
On Saturday, we will bring a 1986 Talbot, 1989 Palmer and something else to be determined.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
It's La Conseillante
Very interested to try to 2015 Moreau as I also have some 2015 Moreau Ruchottes that I am waiting on to age more.
In light of our 2000 vs 2001 thread, I will also try to bring a 2000 Pichon Baron on Saturday to pair with the 2001 I'm bringing. I am also bringing a 2001 Lalande in case anyone wants to bring the 2000 (I don't have it).

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
If we need Champagne for Saturday, maybe I should bring a 1996 Dom instead of the 1983 Montrose?

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I am thinking a 2001 Brunello and 2004 Barbaresco for Friday. For Saturday, I'm planning on 1995 GPL and 1996 Pontet Canet.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Did you mean the 1990 Conseillante, Chris? I think you said that in the other thread. I am debating bringing the 2000 to complete the every 10 years vertical.Winona Chief wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 1:37 pm On Thursday, we will be bringing a 2015 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot (Bernard Moreau), 2010 Le Conseillante and 1986 Yquem.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
It’s La Conseillante - Marcus pointed out my typo in the other thread. And yes, it would be great if you can bring the 2000 to make it an all star vertical.

And yes, it’s 1990.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I'll be happy to bring the 2000 La Conseillante then, I am very much looking forward to trying the 1990. It has been on my hit list since Nicola was raving about it.Winona Chief wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 7:46 pm It’s La Conseillante - Marcus pointed out my typo in the other thread.

Do we need another white burg for the evening? I have a nice 2014 Chateau De Meursault Charmes Du Dessus. Or I can bring some other Pomerol's I mentioned.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Those sound great, David. I wish I had a 2001 to compliment. The closest I can get is 2002 Haut Brion, happy to bring if it's wanted or save for BWE 2022 or 2032DavidG wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 2:07 am Saturday, apropos of the 2000 vs 2001 thread/debate, we’ll bring a 2000 Haut Brion and La Miss.

Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
The 2002 Pol Rogers are drinking really well across the lineup, showing some nice nutty/oxidized aged complexity. I’ll bring a 2002 Winston on Saturday for comparison.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I can bring the 99 Togni on Friday for another baby vertical, Marcus. Maybe someone else will have another.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
It’s probably still quite young, but I have the 09 Togni, if that’s of interest.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
I do have a good stash of 20+ year old cali cab to draw from if we decide the Togni is too young.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Haven’t had the 09 but in my experience “younger” Togni in this age range are actually pretty fun to drink, they just lack aged complexity. They don’t shut down hard like Bordeaux, instead they are fruity, smooth, medium bodied and balanced, but a bit one dimensional
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Sounds like it could use a Blanquito or two. I haven't had any younger Togni though, so can't speak from personal experience. Sitting on my 10/12/13 for a while I think.
Re: BWE DC '21, What are you bringing each night?
Can someone please bring a Durand to Sat? I think my old bottles need it and I lost mine as soon as I bought it and have been too pissed off about promptly losing it and too stubborn to get another, yet.
