Thanks for the notes. Would you say the 2009 d'Angerville Taillepieds was handling the 2009 vintage well, meaning that it was not too ripe? I have one bottle of the 1999 Arnoux Suchots which I am saving for sometime in 2025+. Do you think it is at peak now or another 5 or 10 years will bring more po...

So far......2014 red is still delicious ( at age 7 now ) and it may not close-down. Another 2007 red ? i've had many a shut down 2014. 2013 on the other hand seems far more generous now [dance-clap.gif] Nice, opening a 2013 Domaine Dujac MSD tonight for dinner.

I think you are missing the OPs point. He didn’t say he wanted Burgundy. He likes Burgundy, but at current pricing wants to know what else is out there. Aubert pinot noir and Rochioli single vineyard pinot aren't exactly cheap. I would rather drink village level Dujac, Hudelot Noellat, Denis Bachel...

Where!? I'm guessing Apex Wines in NC. They have it in stock (and ship to Missouri). The Meyer Nepal was only in magnum in 2019. This is either the wrong AP number or wrong vintage. Not according to Mosel Fine Wine: http://www.moselfinewines.com/2019-falkenstein-niedermenniger-herrenberg-spatlese-f...

I don't think this is true. I agree that there are a lot of wines that are "out of reach" for a lot of people, but modern winemaking has never been better - there's never been a bigger ocean of good wine coming from every region in the world. I guess I take a fairly philosophical view of ...

Lignier-Michelot 2014 MSD Faconnières x 3 It is rare to see this producer and vineyard get much love here. I have collected a few vintages of this particular producer/vineyard and it has always been a good "value" (if there is such a thing in Burgundy). Their price escalation in the past ...

You know it... Last 3L offering was $5,000 I believe.
Oh dear god. The mag’s are generally $1500?

Yes and yes, in 2018 mag and 3L are at the same prices, $1,500 and $5,000 respectively.

It was $400 last year, so an increase of $50/bottle

It is officially $450/bottle

If I am not mistaken, there was no Les Poyeaux in 2013 and it was all blended into the Les Clos (regular Samur). Maybe that is why the 2013 had a little more oomph? Or the 2014 just needs to age a bit more. Glad to have both. HUGE pic though

Noellat -price to value ratio is lost on me now.

Hudellot or Georges?

Come on- it’s an interesting topic. Let the poor OP be. And quite honestly I don’t use whinging as often as wanker and my particular favorite, Scouse Git. No worries Mark. Whining is one of our most time honored traditions here at WB [wink.gif] [wink.gif] But seriously, it is a genuine curiosity fo...

I probably saw some type of thread like this a while ago, I think it was something like "What are you not buying...." I tried to look for it but could not find it. Anyway, since there have been a lot of buzz on recent offers and vintages coming in, I was just curious if this has affected a...

The 2019 offers have been quite disappointing. I get that it’s a great vintage and yields are down, but there are plenty of other good to great vintages or wines this decade that are cheaper. And a number of US sellers are still pricing in tariffs so not inclined to buy early unless a wine or price...

I love K&L's selection of sparklings, their Insider Advantage deals, and their niche wine selection in general. I'm lucky to be in Sonoma county and have Bottle Barn to drain the majority of my wine wallet, but K&L gets quite a bit of play from me. I've not noticed any K&L pricing as be...

IMHO, not really. The gap between good Bourgogne Rouge and an average Village wine is greater tan the gap between a good Village wine and an average 1er Cru. This of course does not include those unicorn Bourgogne rouge that are priced to the moon like that Bizot Bourgogne or 04 Leroy.

What do you find is a good value play at K&L? I have been buying from them for well over a decade and have always found them to be a class act. Great customer service, good shipping pricing. But...for much of their wine the pricing is qutie a bit higher than I can usually source elsewhere. I do...

Apologies for sounding like a noob, I meant Chave Hermitage. I bought two 6 packs of each because of the esteemed pedigree of the producer, sites and great vintages. 2015 is supposed to be a bigger, riper vintage if i'm not mistaken while the 2016 is the opposite in terms of style, yet still a good...

Yikes, def not popping my one bottle this early although maybe I should stock up a little. Brutal to stock up at current retail price Chave Hermitage is now officially cheaper than Allemand Reynard, as of the 2017 vintage. Probably the same rice as Allemand Chaillot. Note that 2015 and 2016 Chave m...

"off vintages" tend to be my long term aging favorites from SQN, Saxum, etc....

Are you saying 2017 was an off-vintage for SQN's general appellation?

I am actually surprised I got an offer since I passed on the previous mailer.

How was the overall vintage for 2017 in the central valley?

My bad

Just got an email from SQN, was this just released today or is this like a 2nd or 3rd wave offering?

I am talking about the 2017 Eleven Confessions Estate Syrah & Grenache 6-pack box. There is also a white offering - 2018 Aperta White Wine

I know it is a very small sample size, but I am a tad surprised that 2015 is higher than 2016 in terms of votes.

I’d actually say they are the best overall producer given the quality and the breadth of their stable of wines.

What about Domaine du Collier?

I have been drinking Briords since the 2010 vintage every year, one of THE best QPR's for white wine, period. I did however find the 2019 vintage showing a bit of a sun-kissed flavor that, although not distracting, is not my personal preference for this wine. I still have around 4 (of 6) bottles and...

Got the email form Robert Panzer regarding 2017 last 01/07, replied within less than 30 minutes but have not heard back at all. Usually Robert responds very quickly, maybe too many people ordered at the same time?

I assume you are assembling a vertical, as comparatively IMHO, the 2014 is a superior wine! A damn generous offer. I’d jump all over it if I had extras. Good luck! Just looking for a little variety. I totally agree that 2014 is superior to 2013 and 2012. I have had other Loire reds from these vinta...

I just made a shocking and embarrassing discovery. I have accidentally left / forgotten 3 bottles of Russian River Brewing Co. Supplication beer in my fridge for almost 4 years!

I do not have the intent for this to be a withchunt, as I said I think my wines will be fine (better colder than hotter weather).
