Offered two box sets?

Krug....make it happen Todd!!!

Still have some 01 mags...love this wine! Crossed fingers no ox. All screw cap now right?

PSA...use a Durand when opening ANY Calif wine with 15+ years of age on it.

2006 Rudius Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley (11/25/2019) Last bottle from release, and best one yet! Still very youthful garnet color with the only signs of it's age is the wonderful integration. Silky smooth, creamy dark berry fruit(reds and blues)..more savory dried fruit than c...

Alban
Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Ridge Geyserville is always a fav in blinds.

"* We have a photography team that takes high-res shots of every bottle and works very hard at providing the most accurate photos of color and quality."

So it is confirmed...that is the color.

Mayacamas

WB needs to take the pics with a light behind bottles like Spectrum does? Btw...is that really a true representation of color iyo?

WOW...look at that beautiful brown ox color!

A real shame if that's the true color?

2014 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Heitz vineyard. Served before the MAC, this was awesome, maybe a bit of boldness/ brashness, some say slutty, I was not in agreement with the.....

I’m like...”Heitz Vineyard...when did that happen?!?!”

2014 Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru (11/9/2019) Big air is your friend here...coiled and stingy at first, but a big splash decant for an hour wakes this gorgeous beauty up! Really tremendous viscosity in this...creamy, almost oily....

Discovery of the year - How much I really really really LOVE Champagne and sparking wines! I could drink Champs and eat pizza, seafood, and fried chicken EVERYDAY for the rest of my life...although might be a short life...I'd be happy! flirtysmile Wine of the Year - I rated two wines 98pts this year...

Last Musigny I drank was curiously the '97, which was really very, very, good, contrary to my expectations. In general, I think after its famous old vintages Vogüé began to underperform, which is a shame given how much of the vineyard they own. Roumier and Mugnier are absurdly overpriced for what t...

2014 Paul Pernot et ses Fils Puligny-Montrachet - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet (11/5/2019) Shimmering yellow, green tinge color...nose of white peach, lemon curd, canned pears, chalk dust. In the mouth showing riper candied fruit, and less 14 cut than I thought it would. The...

I get Banshee Pinot for $17 at local grocery...totally satisfies in that price point!

68 degrees Doc???

Yes...this wine is as bad as it looks. A Winebid fail...picked it up about 3yrs ago...interestingly it was offered as Vincent Dauvissat? Color was just as horrible in the pic...I guess I should have known. Glad I didn't open it up with one of my wine buds! hitsfan Hi B., I'm very sorry to hear abou...

Even their 14 Petit is AMAZING!

The only thing cooler than drinking La Tache in the cellar of DRC...would be drinking La Tache in the VINEYARD of La Tache!!! [worship.gif] So...what wines have you had the privilege of drinking, while strolling through the same vineyard that produced said wine? I can only think of one for me...drin...

NV José Michel & Fils Champagne Cuvée du Père Houdart - France, Champagne (10/24/2019) Was in the mood for Krug, but decided to check in on one of these, since I'm drinkin solo tonight. First time with this champs...have heard good things about this MV cuvee. Base wine is 2011, with back vintages o...

The rouges are very, very good. But, they are much cheaper than the whites. How much did you pay?
$50
Villages or premier cru

Ordered a sixer of these a few months ago thinking I was getting 2014 Ramonet CM blanc...always excited to drink Ramonet blanc anytime, especially 2014. Received the wine today, and was shocked to see red instead of the shimmering golden yellow. Went back to website I ordered from, and it wasn't cle...

+1000

HATE when those specks of styrofoam are all over the bottles. Feel bad when I recycle the cardboard boxes...yet have to throw away the styro!

Such a shame...great wines back in the 80’s-90’s.

Name changed to 2017 Sine Qua Non Tectumque

Now according to Galloni, there will be 4 barrels of 2017 SE produced, but only bottled in magnum. Didn't say if they will be offered for sale to listers? Not questioning the info, just curious how/where you ascertained it ? https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nXNbbHiwG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

you were so close—40 miles from the OC. Next time!

Yea but that's like 2 hrs with your crazy LA traffic! Took us 30mins to go .5 miles from AMDA back to our hotel thurs night! Found out when there is a concert at the Hollywood Bowl...stay off the streets!

Wife and I spent the last few days moving our first born daughter into college down in Hollywood Ca. (AMDA)...SO tough to let your baby go! [cry.gif] We finally were able to venture out, and ended up in Beverly Hills, walking around Rodeo Dr. Wife needed a bathroom...so we found one next to the Mont...

Loved their wines from the late 80’s early 90’s! Trent was my frat bro at UOP...we didn’t drink wine back then!

Omg...how cool! When did you drink it, and how was it?

WOW Doc...one hell of a trifecta there!

Why did you store the wines upright?

Not surprised by the note more impressed by your patience in keeping these delicious bottles around for so long! Great note Buzz.

My patience was 2 days! Just got um tues.

Almost out of these already...second to last bottle is drinking fantastico tonight [drinkers.gif] ...my last note on this is still spot on...so I'm lazying this one up. Jumped on wine searcher to reload...but ZERO wines for sale in the good ol USA! [help.gif] If anyone has a sighting of some of thes...

Since there will be no 2008 Krug...maybe people can justify their Krug $ going for this? [grin.gif] Where did you hear that? Been discussed a bit on vinous and I've seen elsewhere too. Apparently LVMH didn't want to buy the fruit in 08 in the midst of the crisis. Yea...I thought this was already kn...
