How about Muscadet? If it works with oysters it should work with caviar.

+1, this match up is outstanding. The depth of Muscadet/Melon de Bourgogne with caviar, ossetra in particular, is a treat.

This is going on now... https://www.eventbrite.com/e/just-press ... 8103388337

No kidding, you get the berserkerday creativity award every year.

I'm in for whatever you put up. My wife and sister think you're cute so you got that going for you...

I should find out if Jason Hagen is out of the woods.

Although this place is not fancy in any way, shape or form we stopped in here a few times during our leisurely week in Rome because it is flat out delicious.

Re: BerserkerDay 11 is coming up!! (Jan 27, 2020) I better have some ideas!

I better have some ideas!

I used "the Fork" app a bunch, very useful.

Check your inbox. I think I can put another together for you. I'm back in Oregon this weekend.

Done. Nathan S M I T H, what town did she study in?

Andy, $5 I find something. In or out?

Two weeks ago...

Research restaurants in the town she studied in, pull up their websites, look for wine lists, and try to see if you can get the wines by the glass. I would guess that would be like the cheap stuff she was drinking. Bon chance!

Over. Thank you.

I can do one more.

I hope your reading comprehension improves.

I screwcapped only fifteen years ago... which isn't too shabby.

I am not really in the market for newish Bordeaux right now, but that could change.

I opened an 07 Momtazi vineyard last week and it was in a good spot. Here's the offer: 2007 Ana vineyard- all Dundee Hills goodness, 20% whole cluster 2007 Deux Vert vineyard- Yamhill-Carlton District AVA, 70% whole cluster 2007 Momtazi vineyard- McMinnville AVA, 90% whole cluster So we came out of ...

Thank you! Glad you had a good time.

Todd,

But no hard data to back up your claims - and that will always be the.challenge . . .

Cheers

I always leave out hard data when I'm talking art...

There is little doubt in my mind that the aging curve is extremely shallow. If the goal is freshness I believe screwcaps are the way to go. However, if secondary and tertiary aromas are your jam you'll need extra decades. Or just use cork.

Right, a taco truck run by a winemaker who has worked at Dujac and DRC...

Lingua Franca.

I see they have a Corton Charlie on deck. Very interesting.

Sure, why not.

I am bumping this thread up to the top because it is Thanksgiving weekend already. Where does the time go?

Pick from the list, lists, added lists and recommendations here and go show some love to the little guy/gal. Go ahead, love them, and buy their terrific wines.

Over. Thanks!

Ok, four are gone. But I can do two more and then, finito.

1 left for certain. I will double check asap to see how many I actually can offer over the initial four. Thanks!

I have four cases of this wine. It's delicious and in a good spot, but I felt like having an orphan sale and didn't want to wait until Bday. Here's a Vinous review/tasting note: Light bright red. Highly perfumed aromas of red berry preserves, Asian spices and mocha take on a bright mineral overtone ...

This is good for both brands.

Will Tell. This is good. Welcome.

I'm in France currently, then Italy until the 21st. Next time!

And I'll put it in my phone!!!

No, he's talking about me. Since Bill's appointment I forgot, I immediately stop and log it into my calendar on my phone.

People are late all the time. I wouldn't worry about it since a sale from someone who showed up late is still better than no sale at all.

I'll eat your cake. I love cake. Cheese too.

I think if the sun shines a lot in a vintage that the wines should show it.

Right. Be brave Greg!

And yes Mark, I think you're right. So the arguement of picking to hold onto acid is out the window. Acid is abundant in 19.

Yes Rick, 96 was a "sneaky good" year. But not for everyone and that will be a truth in 2019.

Bloom was in early June, which put the sweet spot of 105 days towards the tail end of September. Folks that started early did so against miserable disease pressure. Folks with fine vineyard managers that picked on a reasonable schedule will be rewarded with pretty wines.

Reminds me 1996.

Do you have a Grocery Outlet?

+1, you can hone your bargain hunting skills. Distributors will "dump" brands they no longer carry and there are deals to be found. There are also many unheard of brands, so you will need to be diligent in your research. Best of luck.

Rogue Creamery in Central Point, OR is mighty fine.
It seems a lot of people agree with your assessment.

So I slowed played the hype a bit.

+1 Cowgirl Creamery

Rogue Creamery in Central Point, OR is mighty fine.

What do the Sacklers drink? As I am certain that is the good shit.

Bunk in PDX too.

Olympia Provisions anyone?

Very good, not great.

Canard, Little Bird, Davenport all worth a shot in PDX.

Final pick is scheduled for Wednesday (semillon for a client). All of the Pinot noir for still red production has been in for a week. Interesting vintage, and I am curious to see how some people will spin their take on it. I like it, but we brought in clean and late (110ish days post bloom).

Sure, come visit.

Nice place Stan, thanks.
