As much as I’m happy to jabber and read about 2008 Comte as nauseum, 2008 Ployez-Jacquemart Liesse d'Harbonville is like Fight Club. What’s the first rule? Certainly better than that mass produced, conspicuous consumption, Veblen good, LVMH shit. If Comtes was a Veblen good, this thread would be go...

$119 a case. $125 half a case. $135 one bottle. $135.99 I'll just buy more Marguet, Bouchard, Etienne Calsac, Laherte Frères, Moussé Fils, Vilmart and Ployez-Jacquemart; I hear there is a glut of Champagne. Any idea when the 2008 Ployez-Jacquemart Liesse d'Harbonville is due to be released (or the ...

I'll just wait to see what Envoyer and Lopa offer it at. If it's over $135, I'll probably pass completely. Envoyer offered the 2006 at $119.

Highland Park 12 is my basic go to.

Is this the best wine with no waiting list?

Not a fan of the Pot Still regardless of who is making it. But I really like the 4 year old rye and at about $45 in my market, consider it a good value. I was under the impression that there are a lot of labels that are not distilling their own product these days. Jefferson comes to mind. You mean ...

Is this still art philosophy or is it a entirely new category of wine philosophy?

So first, hi Cam lol. And second, will this be over $18 price mark as he’s built up insane anticipation for it. Curious if everyone here is jumping on it regardless? Been thinking about this. If it is over $20 I think I’ll pass. I have plenty of cab on the way and honestly, the review from the drun...

What is the deal with Waypoint? Anyone familiar?

There is a whole recent thread on Carneros:

Am I reading the email correctly, as in every wine this power hour is going to be a Napa wine made by Tim Milos?

You millenniums don't like Beckstoffer and gimmicky wines?

Not that great of a deal if you bought it when it came out.

Must have tons of Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle. It's been up for awhile

I thought Snoop would be making some green dragon port or gin for his gin 'n' juice.

Well, shit, I did get some Betz. I didn't think I'd bight on anything.

When is the power hour normally? 1 PM (PT) Apparently this Power Hour is going to be insane [url][/url=https://www.lastbottlewines.com/invite/03f59d9694df43799c127d4ab0335738a1a27118.html]Screen Shot 2020-08-27 at 9.05.56 AM.png It would be interesting if someone could compare FirstBottle prices to...

That '18 Sanzay Les Poyeux looks like it came from the WWI era.

...While I don't think it should taste like Meursault it could definitely have qualities to mirror Chassagne.

Sherry notes?

I want some of that! I just have an Obama wooden train whistle.

As great as I'm sure it was showing now, considering it is a Spat, I could opine that it may be just slight hyperbole to announce it will drink like an Aus*** in 15-20 years. But excited to read your TN in 2035 about it! [cheers.gif] If there is someone on the board who I trust with Riesling, It's ...

Update: according to the email for today's deal, looks like the next marathon is this Thursday (8/27), starting at 9PST. Did anyone else jump on that Gallimard BdN today? No, the only Champagne I've ever seen them offer that is worth buying is Salmon: http://blog.lastbottlewines.com/our-wines/salmo...

I've never visited but Chrysalis did well in a Norton challenge (if you like Norton).

Greetings all. I've been lurking for a while, but haven't gotten around to posting. I am blown away by this forum, mostly in a good way. Despite my interest, I had convinced myself to take a pass on DN for storage reasons and because I no longer have a need for party wine, but you guys pulled me in...

I need more of your tasting room Grassl Glass

I grilled my first Flannery CA Reserve 16 oz. Rib-eye last night with unfortunate results. It measured 2" on one side, and 1 1/2 on the other, but even the recommendation for the 1 1/2" was 14 minutes, and that seemed ridiculous, so I went with the 9 minute recommendation for a 1 1/4 inch steak (7 ...

Cool. Graycliff should be pretty easy to come by but how did you like the RyJ? How small is small? Lot's of options if want something to display, otherwise I would just save the money and make a tuperador. Cheaper and will probably work better. With 500 cigars I only have 1 humidor and have zero pl...

Been really digging PGC and chasing down old vintages. Opened up a 2003 Balcombe 1B and it was still going strong: PNP. Magenta core, slight bricking at the edge. Nose of ripe strawberry and flowers. Ripe, dark cherry on the palate, along with earthy notes and some baking spices. Medium body, the f...

Any recommendations for a small humidor? Years ago I went to Graycliff in Nassau and watched them roll cigars. Smoking those on the beach with bioluminescent sand was a highlight. My local shop didn’t have those, but said this was close:

Sorry for the delay. On the Bonshaw though, I've been nibbling on it for four days now, and it's still going strong: 2003 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Bonshaw - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge (2/4/2019) This is still a huge and brooding wine for an Oregon pinot. No bricking and a...

Jesus I wish stuff like this were more affordable...

I was a bit worried that the tariffs had caused Envoyer some issues as it had been a bit since I was excited by their offers but between this, champagne, and today's Barolo cellar, my wine budget is busted for the month. Asked for some of the 1964 Valfieri Barolo Riserva based on this. Thanks Greg a...

Rudy is due to get out of prison soon this year. It will be interesting to see if he cashes in on his infamy. I could see him giving Dave Phinney a run for his money on selling blended wines. Name the company Infamy or "Dr. Conti". It would be some marketing to say this wine sold at auction as a... ...

Todd, wouldn't the sharing be at the discretion of the person that starts the thread, or are you saying that someone that responds can 'share'? Someone who wants to share a post on social media can do so via the quick links. One can do that already, copy/paste the URL, but this makes it one-click e...

Just opened one of these and it was so great that I went back and bought some of the '05. Might be my WOTY so far. Just beautiful and paired great with lobster.

Anyone going for the '12 1522?

True, but that only mimics a fraction of what combi ovens can do. Wider availability of affordable combi ovens is equivalent to what happened to sous vide cooking a few years ago. In a few years, you won't be able to call yourself a serious home chef without one. Don't think so. I think I'll stick ...

375 of 2009 Suduiraut is up now for $39. Seems a bit high?

There is already Reddit.com/r/wine; it's awful. The only social media I want to share to is CellarTracker.

I like Cayron too, but not sure that I'd guarantee that they are 'clean' in all years. Is what OP requesting really 'non fruity, yet non funky reds'? I've had three vintages of it and there was no brett in any? Yea you gotta go back more than three vintages on this one. But I will say, the 2016 is ...
