A lot of love for Falkenstein lately. How about some love for the Rotwein! 2018 Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Rotwein trocken - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (1/15/2021) Light red color. Nose is straightforward cranberry, slight funk, stones. It's bright and fresh, reminds me of Clair Nau...

Good luck, Mike! We are so close to pulling the trigger for a return to Italy as well. Thinking July 2021, but that might be too hopeful at this point. Hope it works out for all of us!

Hot50 works for 50 off 150. Just grabbed some Bowmore 18 for $103 after this and the $30 Amex Ex. What Amex deal is this? I think I used all my Amex credits. I get regular "offer" emails from my Amex Plat, this is one of them - $30 credit if you spend $100 at Wine.com. I stacked it with t...

Take that, Gonon.

My comment was not directed at you William! And not doubting the quality. Just a general and snide observation.
As always, your detailed commentary is helpful.
We all benefit from your quality participation here at WB.
Cheers.

2000 La Chapelle was my 3rd disapointment after 1998 and 1999. All three are (were) not up to the standard it was like 1997 and 1996 (1995, 1994) not to speak of 1990 and 89. I had an impression of foreward red fruit without a lot of structure that reminded me on Beaujolais ... not a bad wine but a...

Holy shit. So sad. RIP Frank.

Popped this from magnum yesterday to celebrate my daughter turning 21. Part of the case of assorted 2000s I've been holding over the years to drink once we got to this point. 2021 seemed like a distant time way off in the future when I first start buying wines for her, I can't believe we're here. Ti...

Oh, and I enjoyed the 2018 recently in a very special place recently...

Great note, Bob! I think I have a couple. Love what Marcus does with Chardonnay. Cheers!

I have sold beer to Rob several times and he is always A+ . Super quick and easy transactions. Thanks Rob!

What’s the hype with this producer? Price tag looks steep. Organic and very popular in the natural wine circles, but then there is nothing obviously natty about the wines. Very well made and quite different from the region’s more representative products. I paid 35€ for this which is roughly what mo...

I held out until about 6pm on January 1st. Yay, me.

Dennis Atick

Not usually one for young Auslese, but I have a few and figured I'd check one out while it's still open. 2018 Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Auslese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (1/2/2021) Pours nearly clear in the glass. Super purity. Clean. It is '18 in its ripeness and there...

Had a very nice Vilmart Premier Cru Grand Cellier Brut with Island Creek Oysters and Caviar.
Then a QPR champ: Caillez-Lemaire Reflets Brut (from Lyle)

Then a totally shot bottle of 1958 Damilano Cannubi. Oh well. 2/3 ain't bad.

Dennis Atick

Personally, I would rank Suenen higher in the hierarchy. Personal preference, but I dig the wines. Relative values, too. And I realize there's no way to have an exhaustive and complete list, but I'd stick Margaine in there somewhere as well.

This is a fact!
Is this why people are regularly flipping Treehouse and Monkish cans for 2-3x the release price?
So does Caymus

Hey, as a flipper, I fully support any and all people willing to pay 2-3x release price of anything and everything. Anybody need a PS5?

Sounds really great.
I don't drink enough Chianti. Hell, I don't really drink any Chianti.
Every time I see a note like this it makes me realize I need to drink more Chianti. Something to work on in 2021.
Thanks for the note!

Since I had a successful recent test order, I thought I might use a few of the $50 off coupons for some daily drinkers. But the NY warehouse seems to be mostly barren. Not a single Cru Beaujolais, only two Loire Cab Franc (and both over $199/btl), and a very small number of Oregon Pinots. Seems lik...

Dennis Atick

Sure don't know what I'm going for, but I'm gonna go for it, for sure.

Dennis Atick

Thanks for the note, Dennis. This was made in two separate bottlings. I bought both and just received them in my Fall shipments, and I'll likely check in on one in 2021 so it's good to have a data point. From your photo, the one you had is the late-bottled version, AP 5/97. There is also an AP 3/96...

Tom-
I hope you are well. This sounds great. I've been meaning to check out Lewandowski wines for some time now, and this sounds right up my alley. Was ready to do damage until I saw the 'sold out' comment. LOL. Next time.
Thanks for the note! I am on the lookout.

1994 Weingut Hermann Ludes Thörnicher Ritsch Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (12/28/2020) Waves of petrol on the nose.

Glad to see you enjoyed the wines Dennis. Do note that Pepe makes two different bottlings of Emidio Pepe wines, one made from their older vines that is intended for exporting and long term ageing and one that is produced from their younger vines made for domestic consumption. More and more retailer...

Got into a couple of young Pepes from the '16 vintage the past two nights. Happy Holidays, all! 2016 Emidio Pepe Trebbiano d'Abruzzo - Italy, Abruzzi, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo (12/25/2020) Such a singular wine. Deep yellow color. Hazy. Opens with an almost cider quality, and feels sort of flat on the pal...

Yes. This wine is legit to me.

Interesting. My last offer was also 12/14. So we are all having the same gmail issue. Weird it took me so long to realize. It did help my hiatus from buying.

Hey is it my imagination or is Greg taking a little break on offers? Am I having an issue receiving his emials (has happened before) or has it been a slow holiday week? Serious question. Thanks. I e-mailed him about this yesterday. "Hi Brian your email had been suspended which means our emails...

Thanks, Athony! Not something I drink much of, just respect what Margaine does, and Brad Baker an others said this was top stuff. It is! Cheers!

Very high yum factor on this one. Don't let the demi-sec scare you off. NV A.

In the past (2012), when Michel Thibault was working there, I picked up Ramonet, Roumier, and DRC at very pair prices from the Chan's in Destin.
