Looks like Falkenstein

Ace of Spades Gold

Karl K

How were the wines?

Karl K

Not answering but concurring on the quality of Petalos and Corullon.

Karl K

Perfect sort of tasting!

Thanks for sharing!

Karl K

Sounds like the Leroy was corked.

Also I like spinning capsules on newer wines such as these as they show no seepage.

But I get your point about Leroy overfilling as an exception.

Karl K

I have been to a Calvados producer. It is made from apples or perry.

The crux of the foregoing debate is whether fruit wine counts as brandy or only wine from grapes.

There is some fantastic Calvados!

Karl K

There is no doubt she had wine while living in Normandie but most likely it was from another part of the country, if I had to guess. Note that they make Pommeau in Normandie which is like Pineau in Cognac and drunk eagerly as an aperitif including at lunch and I would suggest it to others as an auth...

Karl K

Last year I drove from Normandy to the Loire

I saw vineyards of course in the Loire but I did not see any in Normandy

As mentioned it is a cider region

I did see apples

I also saw dairies!

Karl K

How about 168?

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

Nice!

Glad you got in!

Tom: another short/boring comment!

Pork rilettes, richness accentuating richness

Karl K

Yes, please: will the deal where he is going to be bought by Gallo be announced before year end?

Karl K

I understand the Pahlmeyer vineyard is in Atlas Peak. Is it near Stagecoach?

Karl K

Anybody else here aside from Francois speak to AdV recently?

Karl K

Kamen CS is a nice Sonoma Cab Sauv which would be interesting in a tasting like this.

My guess is some would think it is from Napa.

Karl K

bump, shipping season again

I’m making the software available to Berserkers on a subscription basis for the low introductory fee of one bottle of Krug MV per month. The first 100 to sign up will be eligible for a free upgrade to the European version when it becomes available. Sign But do you have to tip me for the bottle of K...

Karl K

Thanks, Joe. One that I wish was on the list, but have never had the opportunity to try, is the Foreau Goutte d'Or. Had the 90 earlier this year Dark color like a watery mahogany Nose of caramel, orange rind which follow through on the palate which is sweet but also persistently light. Good stuff

Karl K

With Roy, I see these as highly marked up as compared to auction results

Karl K

I am from out of state but could likely do the 12th.

Plus ones or no?

Karl K

Anyone?

Karl K

Agree you should plan in advance. Agree not to pack in too many. One in the afternoon and one in the morning and if you have time driving from one to the other you could stop by one of the wineries you see which has signage on the road and thus more likely to accept drop ins (but no guarantee). Driv...

Karl K

I could possibly drive down.

Karl K

Sattler and Wallner are good producers, and Brundlmayer.

Zweigelt, Blaufrankisch,and St Laurent are varieties to look for. And Cabernet Franc.

Lots of very good wines over there which don’t make their way over here - after a year your son could be making recommendations!

Karl K

Well done!

Karl K

Wow - well done!

06 Voillot Fremiets recently was showing deserving of more time.

Karl K

FWIW I have met her before and she is very nice.

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

As mentioned, Smith Madrone, definitely

Karl K

Echoing what others said about old wine new bottles - common for Madeira, Rivesaltes, PX Sherry, Colheita, others.

About 7 years ago I had 1945 Cazes Rivesaltes which looked like this - new bottle - but tasted very authentic.

Not saying this is but the new bottle is totally understandable.

Karl K

Indeed.

Will the bottles have decals saying, From the Golodetz collection?

Karl K

Thank you!

Karl K

Some years ago went through some stunning Altesse from Gilles Berlioz.

Have been told he no longer exports to the US (at least I can't find it in Virginia).

Karl K

Karl K

Time to put up some ‘maters and beans.

Karl K

Anything more?

Nice release price on the Lafleur.

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

To avoid sediment in a nondecanted bottle,
consider using a decanting cradle.

Karl K

Haven’t had it but I would go for the older wine.

Karl K

Nice!
