Yep. I had a bottle of the Remy Leroy Nature a few weeks ago and it was excellent. $35, a steal. I asked for some Rose today too, Dennis.

Dennis Atick

Remi Leroy today in email. Did we already cover this one? I took some. Remi Leroy seems to be coming on. I've like his stuff.

Dennis Atick

Tease

Dennis Atick

Thanks, guys. I love this wine too, but I find the acidity to be typically too much for at least ten years. Had the 2002 recently, which is coming into its own IMHO. One of the great red values in the world. Chambers St just had some 1990 for $75, which embarrassingly I choked on ordering (and now ...

Dennis Atick

Hardy- Thanks for the input! Hope you and the fam are well.
Wish I still had some '14.

Been eyeing my mag of 2014 for a holiday party...

This sounds like a plan...Let us know how that shows.

Checked in on this one form D&R last night. 2016 Dirty and Rowdy Mourvedre Skinner White Oak Flats Vineyard - USA, California, Sierra Foothills, El Dorado County (12/10/2018) A pretty young Mourvedre that shows a translucent light red in glass. Beautiful coloring. Red berry and floral notes, hints o...

Dennis Atick

Wow. Just fantastic.
I am a late-comer, relatively, to Giacosa and I just adore the wines.
We had the '96 Santo Stefano a couple months back and it was as you described. A beautiful wine.
Man, that '78 sounds heavenly.
Great lineup and notes here. Thanks!

Dennis Atick

Damn. Nice week

Angerville, or d'Angerville? This question reminds me of the New Yorker cartoon that's going around: "I'll have the misspelled 'Ceaser' salad and the improperly hyphenated veal osso-buco." I have a bottle of 1995 d'Angerville Clos des Ducs, if someone could tell me when it'll be ready I'd appreciat...

A few of these from the sneaker guy:

2016 Juwel Alsheim Spatburgunder -
2017 Juwel Weissburgunder -
He does have a lot of shoes

I think it's pathological at this point

Dennis Atick

Mike,
One of these days we are going to make it to a dinner together. I was trying to make this one, but could not work it out to be there.
Looks like you all did ok!
Thanks for the vicarious thrills with great notes and pics. Cheers.

In case you want to recreate the pinot tasting, this will start you on your way [wink.gif] https://www.vervewine.com/products/6333/variants/7006/day-3-best-of-somm-iii-gift-pack-per-gift-pack?utm_campaign=Holiday%202018%20-%2012%20Days%20of%20Gifting&utm_content=80686165&utm_medium=social&utm_source...

Dude. You could have asked before creeping on my Facebook and posting it here! We are not normal. Sad thing, there are some really compelling wines for under $30. Hell, this is where I drink most of the time! Can even plenty of $25 gems in our lame ATL market. The list you posted is for wine shoppin...

Dennis Atick

Fresh off the truck, eh? Thanks for the data point. Mine arrive today. Will let them rest a bit. Look forward to it. How long do you plan on resting them? I am a rester of wines, in general. Probably wait a couple months on these. Though I tend to pound through my Ultramarine wines fairly quickly.

Dennis Atick

Just watched, its OK but not particularly a fan of those big three they are all fine as individuals but that tasting was way to contrived for me. I mean drinking wines that got you excited 40-50 years ago means that they are probably fading by now, of course they do their best to promote them but i...

you can just call Terry (who does shipping) and figure it out with her
Mind. Blown.

Always thought Terry was a guy. Have never spoken on the phone (obviously).

Oh, shit. Me too. LOL !

I will admit that Brunello is one of my wine blind spots, and I have no dog in the fight, but this fairly recent thread made some points against

Dennis Atick

Mike-
Having drank this last night! (with steak!), your note speaks right to me.
We are in total agreement. Such a great wine.
Cheers.

Dennis Atick

Popped my last bottle of this beauty last night to celebrate my vintage 2001 son's bday. Drank along with some HolyGrail Steak American wagyu ribeyes that were right tasty. The wine continues to shine. Really a triumph of California Syrah. The highest heights. And it's not yet ready to go quietly in...

Dennis Atick

Tried some Beared Iris finally this weekend. They are now in the ATL market. I will give them props, some of the better hazy IPAs I've had not directly from the source (distributed out in cans to regional markets).
Tunnel Vision is excellent. Glad I can get them fairly regularly now.

Dennis Atick

Nice note, Merrill. The '01 Sleepy Hollow and '01 Pisoni are benchmark wines for me. I've been fortunate to have had both numerous times over the years and I really don't think California gets much better. Joe does really great work here. Oh, and I meet steal your thread title if I post a note as I ...

Dennis Atick

Thanks for the note! I would say it was helpful if I had some, but I don't, 'cause Rousseau is too damn expensive.
Lovely wines, though, for sure.

Dennis Atick

Looks like.

Dennis Atick

Been watching for months now to get any action on Delta direct from ATL to Rome/Florence for June/July. Can't get it under $2,000 or ~150,000 points per.
Sucks.
Considering just going up to nyc and leaving from JFK.

Dennis Atick

Nice. I picked up a few of these up recently.
Thanks for the check-in, Michael!

Dennis Atick

Thanks Dennis. A number of us were lukewarm on this bottling last summer — so dry in style I thought it could have used more time on the lees before disgorgement — but maybe should have given it some more air. I didn’t find it a value at its price point based on the one experience. Can totally see ...

Honestly Dennis, despite the fun, I would wait.

Waiting is not Something I am good about with D&R wines. For sure.
Thanks for the heads up.

Dennis Atick

Nice! I almost opened this on Turkey day. Opened the '14 D&R Chardonnay first and never got to this one. Look forward to it soon enough. Thanks for the check in.

I have got to go to Bern's Dennis.

Dude! YES.

Nice, Jeremy!
We had the '61 at Bern's last spring and it was humming! Wine of the weekend with some stiff competition.

Damn, I've got a '14 Dampt Fourneaux in the cellar and you're making me nervous!

Dampt doesn't have a great track record. Don't wait too long

Dennis Atick

I’ve been enjoying Pouilly-Fuissé as alternatives to pricier white burgs and have had some real winners (eg Ferret). But your ‘batting average’ is really sad. I'm continuing to look in that direction. That’s pretty sad to have an oxidized 2014, but I suppose it’s getting to be that time. The younge...

Dennis Atick

Practical question - how does shipment work? I've only jumped on the Envoyer train recently. On my account it shows a couple of bottles available, and the rest still pending (confirmed orders). Does Envoyer propose shipping when it gets to a case? is it on you to schedule? More of the latter in my ...

Dennis Atick

I hit .333 with white Burgundy yesterday. Damn good batting average if I was an MLB catcher, not-so-great for $50 bottles of wine that I fed to my sink last night. I dumped a horribly oxidized 2014! Daniel Dampt Vaillons and then the first bottle of this Barraud. The second bottle of Barraud was kil...

Dennis Atick

Nice, Paul. Those Schneider wines sure are exciting. I've tried a couple, mostly '15 and '16 and all winners. Nice ESJ too. I haven't had a Wylie Fenaughty in years, but fond memories. Wish I had more.
Cheers!

Thanks for the note. I’m still working on some 2001 of this, which has matured a little quicker, into a delicious Burgundy experience. The ‘99 still has time by the way.

Agree on '99. '01 is one I have not had. Piling on, the '96 was great last year.

Dennis Atick

Is Sabatino legit? Just got an email for 50% off white truffles. Thanks.

great & timely note - thank you. looks like I'll be deeply burying the 14's I picked up from K&L recently.

Oh gosh yeah. See those guys in 2035 ! For my retirement party

Dennis Atick

Howard, I could go either way. It's very good now, but in a still-primary-way, despite it approaching 17. I would not rush into one. I ended up with a 6er and started dipping in each of the last three years just to check in. I think the best days are still ahead. Pretty sure you are looking for what...

Thanks Dennis sounds great. The Couchereaux from 2002 is also outstanding.

For sure, Kent! I cut my teeth when I first caught the Burgundy bug on Ursules, Couchereaux, Greves, Theurons...much pleasure for the dollar in those Jadot Beaune 1ers!

I hope this is not "political", but it does deal with wine. French wine in fact. See the latest tweet. I think the current EU tariff is about 10 eurocents, right?

Good luck with this one.

Suckling called the 2015 Canon the "wine of a lifetime." I have 2 bottles. Kinda makes me feel dirty.

Don't drink them anytime soon.
