BWE Denver 2019 Friday wine planner

DavidG · Post by **DavidG** » Fri Dec 21, 2018 8:19 pm

We've got threads for Thursday and Saturday, so why not Friday?

Friday is usually anything but Bordeaux. I usually bring Rhone. Burgs, Italians, California, and for whites German Riesling and Champagne are also popular. I'll start with the following as possible candidates:

1988 Krug
1989 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle

SF Ed · Post by **SF Ed** » Fri Dec 21, 2018 11:08 pm

Not sure what I'll bring, but thinking about:

1999 Clape Cornas
1999 Clos des Goisses or Tattinger Comptes de Champagne
1999 Potel Clos Vougeot

I know whose table I want to sit at!

Blanquito · Post by **Blanquito** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 2:04 am

I’ll bring a magnum of the 1980 Montelena Estate Cabernet and another Cali Cab.

jal · Post by **jal** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 4:16 am

I have to check what I have but I can definitely bring
1989 Dominus
1974 Montelena Estate (not Mondavi, sorry)
And maybe another 70s California Cab
I'll also bring a couple of White Burgs. We're in NYC till next year so I won't have a final list for another few days.

gene m. · Post by **gene m.** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 6:41 pm

If we focus on Rhone and older Cali cabs I think I'll bring:

- 06/08 LaTurque/La Landonne/La Mouline, or an Ermitage
- 87 Diamond Creek, I also have an 87' Dominus or go back a yr to 86': Beringer PR (spec WOTY), Pahlmeyer, Spottswoode

Bubbles?: If we drink the Vilmart on Thurs, I'll offer up the Krugs on Fri, or vice versa.
I have someTaittinger Comtes de Champagne BdB 00, 06 and 03 Rose, (but the bottles are hard to pack...)

DavidG · Post by **DavidG** » Sat Dec 22, 2018 6:55 pm

Gene, love those Guigals! I was thinking the same thing about how to pack Champagne and mags. The Comtes bottles are particularly fat-bottomed.

Fat bottomed Champs
You make the rockin' world go round!

Someone posted on CT Forum that they fit Comtes bottles in a standard styrofoam shipper. I'll check and if it works I’ll use that and a Wine Check for all but the mags. Will have to get a separate styrofoam shipper to fit the mags.

Wow a Queen reference! Nice.

I'll probably bring a burg.

She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake", she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

They just don’t write them like that anymore Bill.
My brother Tom and I saw Queen live in February 1975 at the 2000 person capacity Lewiston (Maine) Armory.

Starting to think about what i can bring... probably a 2003 Bordeaux to go with the "anything but Bordeaux" theme.

What a great concert and venue! They don't make concerts like they used to. The large concert venue was sadly the end of an era though we didn't understand at the time.

jal · Post by **jal** » Mon Dec 31, 2018 1:39 am

Along with the 1974 Montelena mentioned above, I'm bringing a 1989 Dominus (I edited my post to reflect this) not 1987.
Also 1978 William Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm sure Cabfan remembers this well. Hopefully this bottle is still good.
2015 Francois Carillon Puligny Folatieres (2 bottles)

Count Nalan and I in for the Fri dinner.

Looking forward to seeing you and all the BWEers in Denver MichaelP.

Nicklasss · Post by **Nicklasss** » Fri Feb 15, 2019 2:04 am

To go with Michael-P Barolo, and i know Jal like that producer, i'll bring a bottle of the 1990 Azelia Barolo Riserva Bricco Fiasco. And something else but i did not figure out yet.

Nic

Winona Chief · Post by **Winona Chief** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 4:09 pm

From California, I can bring a 1991 Fisher Wedding. Also will bring a (to be determined later) white Burgundy. Other wine will be a surprise Bordeaux blend from an obscure location.

Chris Bublitz

stefan · Post by **stefan** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 8:04 pm

Is anyone thinking about bringing Burgundy or Pinot Noir? I can go CA Cab and Rhone. However, I prefer Burgundy for Friday and could bring 1998 Jacques Prieure Musigny, 2002 Jadot Gritotte-Chambertin, and, for calibration, 2003 St Innocent Seven Springs Special Selection.

William P · Post by **William P** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 9:18 pm

Stefan, I am thinking about N.Potels 2002 VR "Les Gaudichots" because the mystery behind the wine. If I can't fine it, I'll bring some grand cru.

jal · Post by **jal** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 9:26 pm

I am bringing two White Burgundies.
I can bring some red Burgundies instead of Cali Cabs. Let me see what I have.

JeanFred · Post by **JeanFred** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 9:33 pm

Allo Stefan

Also fan of Pinot, I’m in for Burgundy!

To pair or compare to your Griotte, I can bring a Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Jadot 2002.

Jean-Fred

stefan · Post by **stefan** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 9:46 pm

Great! Looks like we will have a Burgundy table.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 9:47 pm

I'll bring some red Burgundy on Friday night.

stefan · Post by **stefan** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 10:01 pm

Maybe even two Burgundy tables!

Blanquito · Post by **Blanquito** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 10:31 pm

Isn’t one of the lunches traditionally a burg heavy affair?

stefan · Post by **stefan** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 11:44 pm

Sometimes yes, Patrick, but lunches are largely unplanned.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Mon Mar 11, 2019 12:06 am

A little more than two weeks, I'm really looking forward to it. It's been a rugged winter.

DavidG · Post by **DavidG** » Mon Mar 11, 2019 2:26 am

Sounds like a good Burg turnout is shaping up. Sadly no Burgs here.
Anyone besides SFEd, Gerry and me bringing Rhônes?
Ed, if you bring 99 Clos des Goisses I can bring a 96.

Mark G · Post by **Mark G** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 5:15 am

As of now:

2003 Delas Freres Hermitage Les Bessards
1985 Dominus
1977 Dow Porto

Thanks Patrick and Steve, this night should be epic!

jal · Post by **jal** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 12:08 pm

OK, I'm changing from California Cabs to Burgundy.

2 bottles of 2015 François Carillon Puligny Folatieres
1 bottle of 1996 Tollot-Beaut et Fils Corton Bressandes
1 bottle of 1999 Marquis d"Angerville Volnay Champans

After digging through the top crust of the "Pile O' Wine" ™,I came up with 1998 Guado al Tasso and 2006 Paolo Bea Sagratino Pagliaro. I think I'm running the risk of being shunned by the Cabernet and Burg tables...

There's nothing wrong with 1998 Guado and 2006 Paolo Bea. I would gladly drink those anytime

SF Ed · Post by **SF Ed** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:32 pm

Lisa and I are definitely up for Bea Sagrantino!

Tom, Looks like you have Domaine Wine Storage boxes...

Nicklasss · Post by **Nicklasss** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:44 pm

It will be a real rampage on Friday!

To my bottle of 1990 Barolo Azelia Bricco Fiasco, add another bottle of the 1990 Barolo Marcarini La Serra. I don't drink nebbiolo often at home, Marie-Claude preferring other type of red wines. So the Anything but Bordeaux night is perfect for me. I'll sit near MichaelP if he still plan to bring a 2001 Barolo Spinetta Vursu.

I delivered my Fri+Sat BWE Denver wines to Denver a month ago so they could rest to ready for the battles.
They are sitting in my Denver friend's a cool dark cellar.
So no change in the wines on my side.
Happy to sit next to you Nic!

Barolo, the Italien Pinot... that going the be a pleasure to introduce you at the Burgundy table

JeanFred

stefan · Post by **stefan** » Sun Mar 17, 2019 6:33 pm

No way MichaelP will be within 15 feet of the Burgundy table, JeanFred. It would turn the juice to swill and cause him to pass out.

Cabfan · Post by **Cabfan** » Sat Mar 23, 2019 4:29 am

Friday night Julia and I will bring

1961 Giordano Barolo
1958 Inglenook cab Cask F-10

stefan · Post by **stefan** » Sat Mar 23, 2019 5:51 pm

I pulled the dinner wines for next week and saw that the Musigny I have is 1998 Jacques Prieure Musigny rather than 1996.
