Terrific lunch at Le Petit Verdot yesterday. 1993 Domaine de L'Arlot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts St. Georges : The cork and bottle were is superb condition and the wine poured out deep and bright.

I'd be interested to see how this breaks down with a bunch of individual brackets above $100.
And current valuation vs price paid can be quite significant.

that's why I listed both. Everything is going up in cost

I did not know what the Curnonsky reference meant. Did the white wines come from his cellar? Is this the correct profile?

when you get serious about fresh stone crabs. I do not let the fish store crack them As soon as they are cracked they start to degrade. I crack them at home with this.

I love them but they need to be super fresh for me. I would never think of having them here. Also this year was the worst year ever for them because of the red tide. It definitely affected the quantity and pricing. I don't know if it affected the quality. The ones I had last month in Bonita Springs...

2014 Bereche Campania Remensis extra brut rose champagne in mags.
Great price at HDH retail. left some behind

wine arrived from winebid via 3 day service cold to the touch today. it was 39 degrees in NYC this am.

update to the PSA. I called 3 times yesterday and on the third call Kevin picked up. Very friendly. He was just going to email me...wines were shipped Wednesday. He provided a valid FedEx tracking number.

Anyone get a recent delivery from them? I placed an order 1/14 it was supposed to ship 3/8. Kevin the owner is not responding to emails And it looks like the website is down. Ruh roh I never did any business with them but from searching on Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chevalier-fine-wines-chicago...

I stopped by Despana this past weekend to pick up some anchovies for a party. The price came as a surprise but I swallowed a bit and went ahead.

what kind did you get? white or brown?

2000 Raveneau MdT
Were you the one that outbid me?!?
I have one of these. I distinctly remember thinking that $60 was a lot to pay for it.

i used to have a 6 pack bought from PC at $59.99 and then none- now 2 at a lot more. Sorry Charlie

Henry- I just looked at another label of a much older GE from DRC. Please look at the label pics from Cellar Tracker. there was no Bouteille before the number in earlier bottles. And there are some labels shown with the same diagonal numbering. start here and scroll through the label pictures https:...

it looks odd to me.

I use the term to describe a wine that is harmonious. Forming a pleasing or consistent whole. No harsh tannin, good fruit. Most recently an 83 Chateau Palmer fit that polished note.

love that 90 Drouhin Mouches
Any experience with the ‘93 vintage? I am sitting on some in long term storage.

I don’t have direct experience with the 93 Mouches
But I have had other 93 Drouhin ie, the Petite Monts and Amoureuses that were simply amazing.

2016 Mixed case of Francois Gaunoux Mersault, Pommard, and Volnay Chenes..... Oh and a few of her Clos des Mouches too. Never had it. Anyone know when she started making this?

looking on cellartracker the Domaine has been making it since 1966. Someone claims to have a bottle of the 1959

Maureen- cheapest wine searcher pro for that bottle of 2016 Lafarge Chenes is $299.00. I know what you mean about Volnay as a value purchase. no more. Ouch! 50 EUR from the Domaine. Too bad all that money isn't going to the Lafarge family, they deserve it. that is unfortunate for both vintner and c...
