Alan, I was waiting for you to arrive with a bad taste urologist pun about not wanting to drink from Myglands.

it honestly occurred to me! For a rare occasion, I showed restraint. Unlike when one opens a “Chateniere,” probably the worst name for a vineyard I can ever remember—Myglands is tame.

I recall 89 as the last year but I think that means wines capsuled in 89 . . . as noted, prudent to clean off the lip of bottles from 80s and earlier before pouring.

sounds pretty tertiary and interesting!

how many meals w this $5500 tour? Sounds interesting.

this is one time when you are happy to take your lumpps.

It refers to the device to sample wine from a barrel.

that’s a wine thief.

In my opinion, it’s simply tight supply and demand curves tipped by Asian demand and fueled by more published Burgundy critics than ever before. Twenty years ago, there were Tanzer and Coates, few using Parker-Rovani for Burgundy. Now, with Meadows, Gilman, Galloni, Kolm, and others coupled with ele...

once set down too hard a full bottle of expensive Tesseron cognac and the bottom of the bottle separated from the rest of it and, whoosh, cellar smelled great for a month.

a bit alcoholic but a nice bottle. Lovely nose of flowers and citrus, good density and a soft texture, lemon drops, balanced and long with some minerals but no nuttiness. Speaks of the vintage with the alcohol and a bit of fatness.

nice to read. Pernot pricing has sure accelerated recently. But everything has, n’est-ce pas?

Interesting story: https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/ ... li=BBnb7Kw

personally I am done w Ponsot. No value at current pricing and he uses his plastic bottle stoppers that I trust as much as his white temp dots—not at all. Some great wines from that domaine, though, 80 and 85 Clos de la Roche come to mind

why? Buy them all.

Am I alone or with Alan?
I’ll share if you bring suitable hors d’oeuvres and maybe duck for dinner.
How do you know he didn't mean Alan Eden?

my choices were better and he hasn’t posted.

great pricing. Super producer.

2014 is ~$135! Liked it at $60.

at this price and with premox, I’m out. Dauvissat and Ramonet used to be my biggest holdings.

Methuselah of 62 La Tâche, cask of Blanton’s, and a keg of Westvleteren 12.

27 Half bottles of Krug Grande Cuvée for $53.99 a piece. Random liquor store near Lake Geneva, WI—they got some kind of special purchase from their distributor for the halves and stayed with the usual mark-up. I kindly cleaned them out.

nice of you!

don’t have his book—yet—but will soon. Interesting that, as much as a Ramonet groupie that I am, I haven’t ever seen this vineyard chez Ramonet, especially since the vines are 30+ years old. Have to rectify that omission. Thanks, William.

found an old Tanzer review where the stingy scorer rated the wine 94(+?) and wrote, “Bright ruby-red. Pristine, fruit-driven aromas of blackberry liqueur, black and red cherry and violet. A Volnay of compelling density, sweetness and power but at the same time brilliantly detailed and firmly structu...

I hope Alex and Diane are doing well. Had a great Burgundy tour w her.

They must have improved a lot over the years. I went there in 2002 and the wines I tasted were nothing special. Glad to read about the improvement.

agree. Only had a couple and wasn’t impressed. But 14 is a great vintage. Still those big bottles?

that’s quite a score from you, Dan.

never seen this wine! Awesome.
They have owned the vineyard for quite a while but only actually got around to planting it relatively recently.

there is an 09 for sale via wine-searcher so must have been planted 04 or earlier since the first few vintages aren’t sold. Interesting.

never seen this wine! Awesome.

sounds like a lovely young wine.

great story there and great people. I had the good fortune many years ago to have a lunch at their home with a vertical of Echezeaux. Their mom made gougeres when we tasted in the cellar. As many know, the sisters took over in 1988 with the untimely death of their ophthalmologist winemaker father, h...

what a great wine—probably one of the best Volnays I have ever had. Super focus and density, dark blue fruit and licorice, gentle layered texture, very silky, still no tertiary notes, just a beautiful mouthful of pretty, pretty wine, fruit almost explosive. While known for his whites, this red is a ...

I’ll never find all those ingredients. Just send me the finished dish, please. Looks great.

Life is good.

Restaurant Tim Raue.

Epicure is fantastic. The wine list has some nicely priced gems if you look hard enough.

+1. And they are so friendly and warm there. Loved it.

I’m a fan of the Universal and the GGG. GGG is pretty much my go to for all wines.

+1

holding out for 300%.

sear and then finish indirect.

really good young juice. Dark plums and cherries, deep and long with a layered texture. This wine has a long future. Off a restaurant list in Calgary.

had 01 Ramonet recently. It was great. Yeah, 96 had so much promise. Great ones make me cry. Happy birthday

when my 1990 Rousseau Beze and Chambertin jumped in price from $100 to $250 per b, I sold at that peak! What is it now—$4000-5000 per bottle?

just had 83 La Chapelle last night. Solid fruit and a real good wine.

likely three bottles to S Cal. Help!

mine always arrive cold and not frozen.

8000 magnums...how does that compare to typical production quantities for Salon?
Usually around 60,000 bottles, so approximately 25%.
I had no idea that Salon was such a tiny winery.

it’s the high end bottling of Delamotte made a few vintages per decade, more often in recent past. .

sounds really good, a producer I don’t know and rarely see.
I have been happy with the wines from Bruno Colin. Makes a wonderful Chevalier-Montrachet.

I have a b of his 12 waiting for the next Cornwell dinner.

sounds really good, a producer I don’t know and rarely see.

sucks that they didn’t think of the masses, us little people, and put it all in 375s instead.

did this guy Kelly show up on the right day for his flight home?

You drink well. The summary at the beginning was helpful.
