Got a couple bottles of Dujac Charmes and some other things at a good price.

I have noticed some older Arlaud wines carry the "Cuvee Unique" name. So this denotes same juice but different oak treatment of the same wine?

I live in the Tampa Bay area. Awesome to be able to pop in for an early dinner at the bar. The deals for red burg are still there if you look, but the true gems in value are in other areas (ex. american syrah). Somm. Eric Renault is undefeated in finding to something at my price point to make me smi...

2011 Domaine Ramonet Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet (9/12/2019) Always a pleasure to have any of Ramonet's wine in a glass, and this was no exception. In relation to other 'Les Enseigneres' I have had, this was elegant and a bit reserved. A...

Anyone grab any of the 2004 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys?

I would ask for a replacement. Too expensive of an appliance for that kind of damage.

2015 Arnaud Lambert Saumur Blanc Clos de la Rue - France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur (9/4/2019) The nose had prominent lanolin with subtle green apple notes. This wine was so well defined and expressive from the beginning. It presented a chalky minerality with green apple, stone fruit and c...

Will take a bottle at release price + shipping if anyone wants to share. just want to see what the hype is about, without paying Krug prices :D For your reference that's about $100+shipping you are offering, (bottle price for this release is about 100 with tax and shipping to buyer factored in). My...

Great stuff in the collection for auction. Good to know its from a Berserker's cellar!

Vote for '96,'00, and definitely '08 for reds

In for a six pack. Wish I was offered a mag.

1996 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne took my premox virginity.

Just got the email. Heads up because last years "Save the Day' email went to my junk mail folder last year

September 3

The only issue with Chardonnay is that it is grown outside Burgundy and Chablis.

I do not disagree ... but some do

2015 Jean-Claude Ramonet Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet (8/11/2019) Ripe peach fruits are trimmed with aniseed spice. It is full, rich and sappy and is a big Puligny, but possesses the usual Ramonet elegance and lightness of touch. Length i...

And now the Vilmart offer

Envoyer is a straight crackhouse.

For those of you asking about shipping wines from the UK, I have dealt with three shippers. The best by far is Connoisseur International. Good rates, good follow up and if there is a problem, they have dealt with it quickly and hassle free. My contact is Nick Terry, a very nice guy, if you discount...

Whenever I see '08 Veuve at that price, I want it. Then I tell myself it's Veuve and to put that money towards '08 Dom/Cristal. Then I mildly regret not buying '08 Veuve.

Repeat cycle.

How is ‘08 Veuve?

Got one of the Guiberteau Brézé mags.

2016 Francois Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet (8/6/2019) Always impressed by wine from this lieu-dit as it more than not punches above its village weight. Reductive at first on nose giving way to citrus and honey notes. Very express...

Bump for price reduction

19 years isn't considered "long haul", huh? Must be long agers. I should have started buying Produttori in my 20s! Sounds like a delicious bottle. I was actually looking into buying some of the 2013 or 2014 today. Any thoughts on which is the better vintage? I have had bottles of their normale from...

Even though sometimes the ‘nectar and ambrosia’ posted may be out of my league, I enjoy seeing what other people drink. I think a good number of people that frequent such wine are pretty honest about the quality of what they drink. This and cellar tracker are valuable resources for me personally, es...

Opened an ‘82 several weeks ago and a good amount of Brett.

1996 Tenuta San Leonardo San Leonardo - Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Trentino, Vallagarina IGT (8/4/2019) This was very elegant and vegetal on the palate. Pretty complex with good acidity. Green peppercorn, bell pepper, and earth prominent throughout the experience. This was a very expressive and go...

2000 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco (8/4/2019) The last Produtorri mag I opened was a major disappointment. So hopes were high that this would be a good bottle. This was gorgeous from the start. The always welcomed notes of flowers an...

Come see me. I'm in Mcminnville as well. And we are a co op, so you could taste a handful of other wineries too.

Was nice to finally put a face to the wine at Woodard Wine last week my man.

does anyone feel like there have been less emails since the new website launched?
Significantly less for me. Probably not a bad thing.

My wallet appreciates it

1997 Rousseau Chambertin $295 x2 BH 91

This hurts my feelings ...

Anyone put in an ask on the Fontanafredda Barolo offer?

Wasted money on several fridges before my current Eurocave. Expensive but a solid product.

Recently had a 1994 Caves São João Cabernet Sauvignon Quinta do Poço do Lobo that was like a comparable mature Bordeaux. Worth searching out.

Yes and Yes. Very accessible and short decant. The Breze Chenin is great as well

2016 Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Les Motelles - France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur (5/12/2019) Very ‘Burgundian’ touch on this wine. Red fruit and some cab franc herbaceousness, but very elegant. Excellent acidity. I am becoming a very big fan of Guiberteau’s wines. Very good bottle of wine. ...

2015 Domaine Guiberteau Coteaux de Saumur Blanc Brézé

2008 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco (5/3/2019) Any year that Produttori bottles the single vineyard riservas is a treat and this one is no exception. From a cooler vintage, this one is a decade into its life and still is very much about ...

They have a storefront on Gandy here in Tampa. In addition to the usual California fare, they have a pretty fair selection of from Beaujolais, white burgundy and Loire.

I needed to subscribe to their mailing list. I never knew he was so tortured

Making sure everyone understands pouring etiquette and the possibility of winning the corked wine lottery, it will prepare you and your friends for a great experience. I have a friend that is new to wine that always sees the large bowl of a Burgundy ballon as an invitation to drain the bottle.

I always grab these when available. I don’t know if I would pay $100 a bottle on release for it.

2005 Castelgiocondo (Marchesi de' Frescobaldi) Brunello di Montalcino - Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino (4/28/2019) PnP. Initially, this was pretty one dimensional with just red cherry on the nose and palate. After about an hour, some candied cherry and chocolate appeared on the ...

1993 Domaine Michel Gaunoux Beaune - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune (4/27/2019) This 1993 Village Beaune from Michel Gaunoux does a good job of relaying the story of a good vintage with difficulties in the vineyard and cellar. From the opening pour, the dominating aspect of this wine was ...

Anybody familiar with the 2008
Domaine Louis Remy Latricières-Chambertin
offered today?

Had a '99 Groffier Bonne Mare earlier this year that was still pretty primary. Delicious but still could use some years.

1999 was Burgundy's highest yield vintage in the 20th century and of excellent quality.

I was thinking ....what would be a comparable vintage for this century so far?
