Wine Berserkers - international wine social media, online community, and discussion

As follow up and clarification. AG said 2017 Realm came from the winery and 2016’s were self sourced from a friends cellar.

assuming they didn't like scores he gave. Its provided in the context of the article about how wine critics earn their keep during tough vintages and when there are times that top estates just don't perform. He did provide Realm scores in this latest article but I believe they were self sourced bott...

Interesting that Schrader, Eisele and Maybach will no longer let him visit.

Realm as well

I've stopped searching for that moment after about 2 years and 200+ bottles. 95% of wine is meh. Very few even stand out.

Opened the Ampeau around 2pm today and I would say it needed about 30 minutes to open up from bottle and then it was a go. heavy nose of Apple and Crème Brulee. A touch of acid on the palate with a mouthful of apples. Just happy this wasn't corked Holding on to that Dauvissat? Good chance it doesn'...

No. Is all I will say.
Yikes, that bad?

Yes. Especially if you're paying the Boston price like I did off the shelf.

Thanks, all. Much appreciated.

No. Is all I will say.

I've got a 93 Robert Ampeau Meursault Perrieres and 15 Dauvissat-Camus Preuses I want to open. Has anyone had any of these lately? Decant? Serve cold or room temp?

Btw, what's the difference between Dauvissat and Dauvissat-Camus?

Thanks

The shape of the vineyard is quite interesting. I'll stop there.

Got a few Bruno's on order. I'm going to see if I can get a bottle of this.

Not to take away from RM because their stuff is fantastic but the Wayfarer scores were impressive for how small the range is.

I don't know much about Burgundy either but I do dabble in it. I myself would be interested in any books if others have recommendations. These two topics for me have been very educational: https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=155013&hilit=1000 https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum...

What is the wine price off the mailing list currently?

If I recall the offer back in May was near or over $500 per with a 3pack min purchase. I got the offer a few weeks/months after signing up.

Thanks, all. Makes complete sense.

Thread drift. My bad

Dumb question but after 2+ years of trying to figure out wine, what is concentration?

Between this board and following fellow members on Instagram, everything for me to be honest. Sounds corny but I can't think of something I found on my own.

Quality over quantity

I got an offer as well. I just signed up last year

Learn something new everyday they say. I just learned a lot reading this.

June 2018 and still waiting

Opened a 2016 tonight. This is not what the 2015 was at all. Tannic, acidic and cranberry juice. This must really need time. I'll come back again tomorrow and see what this is like but I am not confident. Bummer because I really enjoyed the 2015. First wine I ever remember being able to smell from t...

Helluva weekend for you, Chief. Cheers!

Besides the LaLa how is the Cotie Rotie?

Got this too. Was thinking of some 2014 Jamets for $100/each after the discount.

2016 Chateau Gloria
2014 Le Pergole Torte
2007 RM Occidental Ridge PN
2015 Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva

There's a place here in Boston, Haley Henry, that does the same thing.

This is one helluva fun thread and super knowledgable

Palate shift. Shift happens!

#1. Drank it a lot now I can't drink it.

Vinous published October 2019 ratings on the 2016 burgundy vintage with Neal Martin. I was curious if there is any noticeable pattern between the reviewers, e.g., (i) Neal Martin's scores vs. Stephen Tanzers, in terms of points.. e.g. is one more generous in awarding points than the other, and (ii)...

Man, you all just make this habit more addicting than it really needs to be especially when you're finding all these unicorns.

Not sure what the deal is with K but I just got a local offer for their newest releases and was shocked how low the prices were compared to what I have paid in prior years. This is a crazy deal. Must not be moving.

Is the increased production the actual Scarecrow grapes? I thought I heard that there will be no Scarecrow in 2017. I could be completely wrong.

Remind to invite this guy to my next party

I went for the 10/month option and I enjoy it. There is a ton of content and it seems like a lot more coming based on the previews they have up.

Received this today along with Abreu and Ovid. If you went for 3 pack of each it would be $5,000+ for just 9 bottles of wine. FOH

I look forward to this. However, I would be shocked if they prices aren't higher. I expect to pay more than last year.

Unrelated but saw something on Instagram that the Thorevilos vineyard is now called Ecotone. Would Abreu change the name then?

Not that you should believe everything you see on the internet.

Is this any good? Like better than having the chance to compete for $15 million if he was playing this weekend? https://twitter.com/PhilMickelson/status/1164983223836958720 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I would love to be competing at East Lake right now, bu...

Quite the pedigree here. What's the tariff?

Not sure where you are posting up but Gordons (DTX and Waltham), Federal Street Wines (for the older stuff) and Brix in the Financial District should be able to keep you hydrated.

Welcome to the city!

I have. Although it was a higher end wine so I just thought it was part of the deal.

Based on what Karen says above it makes sense now.

Quantity pricing? Assuming a distributor/retailer would commit to a vast amount at a reasonable scaled price for the winery.

There was a thread back earlier in the year when Realm announced that Juan was moving on to a new Paso venture. Someone said there was more news to come with Realm and they were correct.

I think I've got another 5 years. Great

Prices just went up after this thread started.

How about when a wine is rated 94-97 and they advertise it as a 97?

Recently ran into this at Total Wine. Pretty different when we're on a scoring system that rarely goes below 92. And if its below 92 its $%^t anyways.

I enjoy Vinous. My palate seems to align with them for the most part. I do have Jeb but I will not renew. His scores seem high and my palate just doesn't agree with his scores. Also, understanding that he's just branched out on his own but the amount of reviews/content is drastically different. Jeb ...

This is concerning. I bought last summer for the first time (just 2 bottles) but haven't seen anything yet either by mail or email this summer. I really like these wines. Hell....

nothing sticks out to me as being the worst but I will say that there’s way more bad wine than good wine
