I splurged. The Ossetra is shining. Huge eggs pale gold in color, bursting with nuttiness and fresh ocean breeze perception. Similar caviar from Petrossian or D&D would be about 4 to 6 times as much. Great deal Charlie, and thanks! The hybrid was also very nice. Not as fine, but rich, and full flav...

Popped one of these tonight and boy is it good! A mouthful of juicy strawberry and hints of watermelon. Nice acid and some depth, finish goes on and on. Nice wine!

Thanks Elliot!

I buy until I see my wife's lips disappear!

Sounds like it's time for a "Philip on tour" trip ala Mike Grammar! Come on down we will open plenty of bottles for you

That being said I hope everything works out for the best.

WTF

I always liked Redd Fox so in tribute maybe I will put in for CHAMPPL.

It's hot out here today so looking through the cellar I found this...Huré Frères NV Champagne Brut Reserve L'Invitation, not sure where I bought it but it's nice. Tastes like a pretty high dosage but a really nice beam of acidity cuts right through it. Ginger brioche minerals and some baked apple re...

Yeah Gonon damn! Guess I will drink one tonight that I paid $39 for in the not so distant past

Curious what the format of "blind" is. Flights, or simply mixed up and tasted at will?

And with a matching pair of bottles, same vintage for New/Old? Just don't want 2018 Barefoot Pinot Noir to stick out much

Is it at your house Bruce or the restaurant?

Not just you??

Congrats! '73 is my favorite DP vintage from the 1970's. Thanks Ray! I've only had it once and it was great. Fingers crossed. The bottle looks great. So our bottle of '73 Dom turned out to be good, not outstanding. Probably opened up at about a B and got to B+ level ultimately. Still some fizz left...

2013 Marguet Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy with fried chicken and some watermelon. 77% Pinot noir 23% Chardonnay disgorged May 2018. Never been a big fan of zero dosage but this wine is just fantastic.

I’ve always been a fan of Cristal, but 09 was the first that made me reach for my wallet. 08 made me empty it.

Truer words were never spoken! Well Imho anyways.

Meh.
Send me all your remaining bottles
SWMBO told me specifically to thank you, dude. She said the bottle was special, just as promised. And it was, no doubt!

My pleasure! Say hi to the boss for me

Glad to hear you had a good experience, David. Mine is the note before yours on CT and I'm curious to know if you just popped and poured it or not. My experience was entirely different from yours. It was an unforgiving beast of a wine when I drank it but you could absolutely tell it has the bones t...

NV Champagne Godmé Sabine Champagne Grand Cru Brut Rosé juicy strawberry tart raspberry and balanced acidity. Fantastic bottle for a great price!

My condolences Hardy! Good Lord it's hard to lose a loved one. My thoughts are with you and your family!

The aroma of honey on stones that only happens with well aged Riesling.

Nice, thanks for putting that aroma into words for me!

#3 is the closest to how it actually goes, but I’ve never put 401k, kids education, the mortgage and other necessities at risk.

The future is important, but it’s not the only thing. I want to live and enjoy my time now too.

This is my life

to whoever resurrected this thread!

In the past 36 hours, I’ve purchased two mags and 10 standard bottles. Still going strong.

Yeah yeah now get over here and pick up all your wines! I'm old and my cellar needs some room

Damn great prices wow!

In-N-Out fries do indeed suck. All you need to know if you live in LA is that the best fries are at the Bellwether. Period. End of story. I would venture to say they are the best fries I've had anywhere on planet earth.

Drop the mic!

Here you go: https://www.vitamix.com/mx/en_us/recipes/lemon-curd Tried this tonight holy crap it's great and best of all super easy! Just another reason to love the Vitamix. Thanks! Thanks for the invite, old man! I didn't know you were feeling better already. I would've stopped by with a hell of a...

I have the Vitamix Pro 750 and I love it. I have two containers for it, both for wet blending, just in different sizes. As everyone says, it’s a beast. It’ll make anything as smooth as silk. As a bonus, I discovered their Lemon Curd recipe and it’s my “go to” now. No more standing over it and conti...

Lol points do matter

QVC sells wine?!

Man I dig reading this! And thank you for the great offers

Just have to try some of your Besson Grenache! Thanks for the offer

Oh hell yes! Where has this been all my life

In for a six pack 10, 11 and 12, it's good to be back thanks Emily!

All bullshit aside he makes freaking great wines too

Every year really nice qpr!

Good to hear, I ran out of oil and couldn't wait for BD!

Clearly for the last 8 years this board has influenced my wine drinking habit and has been a great resource for knowledge on hundreds of subjects, but really this place is all about the the people/friends I have met here! all incredibly generous and I am better off for knowing them. Thanks Todd!

We went with a 2016 Narsici Winery “Rosabella” Pennsylvania Proprietary white blend. It had no indication of which grape varieties, if any, were used to make this. No CT scores, but undoubtedly the best option in our collection. As I pulled the bottle from the fridge, my wife immediately says “Ew i...
