It’s tough to replace such a large indoor dining space with any semblance of takeout and outdoor dining. Bummer that they were forced to close, especially since now we at least have some semblance of a light at the end of the tunnel. Tried the UWS location a few times, but don’t think the food on t...

[scratch.gif] Email sent... I only got allocated about three years ago and was allocated that same as you. Wil...

Mike Reff

I was only offered one 2017 Eleven Confession and the one white which I am psyched about.

Mike Reff

In for a six pack, Chard, Mouvedre, and Albarino...

Very cool offer

Mike Reff

Wines are solid...

Pulled the trigger on my allocation for those, this blend sound amazing

Mike Reff

Last first date I had was for coffee, cost me $8.12. Coffee for two was $6.12 and $2.00 to feed the meter... no wine involved. Enough said!

I had an overwhelming aroma of mustard greens in Riesling way back in the early 2000's at a tasting.. strangest thing. Greg T might have been at that tasting.

Mike Reff

Yawn!!!!!!!!!

Mike Reff

Cadence is fantastic.

Signed up for your list Erica

Not sure why you put the Larmandier in the category of wines I don’t think will be that good . In my experience they always deliver. Harlan, on the other hand, which I don't drink that much, and when I do it's usually the Maiden, tends to be all over the place. Sometimes an experience as you descri...

Mike Reff

Tasted the Cos D'Estournel 2000 against 200o Pichon Lalande, and I have to say both are vastly different types of wines. The Cos was fantastic, while the Pichon took some time to leave the gate. The Cos is drinking very well right now, and I think that the Pichon has not yet established itself perha...

Hadn't been in a long time and it will probably be a longer time before I go back.

Does not surprise me Jay. Went there once years ago, and I was like meh!.

Nick, please tell me that you did not?

Mike Reff

Anyone try Latour or Haut Brion recently? Not that, but I have had Lafite twice over the last couple of years. Not sure how they pulled it off, but the ABV is sub-13. It's a powerful wine by not a high alcohol wine. I liked it a lot but it does not have the refined elegance that Lafite normally sho...

Mike Reff

Well wait for it... there should be plethora of info coming your way.. My recommendation for Bordeaux is to start with buying current vintages available with a low price point to determine if you like the style. Remember Bordeaux has different grape types contained within. My first go to was 1996 Ca...

Coho's is NV which is interesting as well since harvest from 2016 and 2017. Like the notes from above. Hmm Briceland you say? Wine from Humboldt Co, Cali, never would have thought of it.

Mike Reff

Just got an offer from COHO, that they are bottling a 2016 Petit Verdot. Anyone have any knowledge about Chinn vineyard or a single Petit Verdot from another producer? Note: I know it is not 100%, but at 87% it is darn close.

Many thanks

Mike

Mike Reff

And they did not retain the staff, guess the Lawrence family will be pressing their own by hands and feet!

Detert just dropped today

Infanticide if anything!!!

The standard Spring allocation is 6 + 6. You can wish for more, but I've never gotten any extra. After many years, you might get offered the magnum set. I've been on >10 years and I was just offered magnums last year. I have been getting two estate boxes for several years. Not sure what the next le...

I gave them my gmail account, funny I recall using netscape navigator

I just spoke to Amber over at SQN and it seems that if you have a hotmail email, you are not receiving any email from them. Quite bizarre.

Just an FYI for those people like myself who are on the list but never received the invite
