Paging Don Cornwell, I see a ton of issues with the label.

(Seriously, well done!)

J@redC

The website is fantastic! So helpful and useful. The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out is how to “Edit” (there doesn’t seem to be a button) a bottle once its saved. For instance I just typed in the wrong price by mistake, saved it and now I can’t edit the price. I had to delete the bottl...

Don, amazing work as always. How every single major auction house doesn’t have you on retainer for perpetuity is beyond belief.

Found this allocation release for 2017 DRC from Corney & Barrow in the UK. Prices start on page 16. Pricing seems to be very cheap coming from a retail store no? Converting from Pounds to USD. A 3 pack of Romanee Conti £9,000 ($11,037) or $3,679 per bottle? La Tache £2,910 per pack of 3 ($3,568) or ...

Wonderful report Dennis! Franklin brisket is to die for! Thanks for sharing your pictures and thoughts. This is making me want to fly to Texas as soon as possible. Mouth watering.

J@redC

Just read through most of this entire thread. Don, wow. Amazing work. Thank you! Jared: Thanks. One of the incredible frustrations for me has been that John Kapon, Acker Merrall, Richard Brierley (ex-Christie's and Vanquish and now Bid for Wine/Forum Auctions UK), Christie's, Antonio Castanos, and ...

Wow. Watched Sour Grapes for the first time last night. Unbelievable. What ever happened to Kapon? Is he blacklisted from the wine community for knowingly selling and profiting off Rudy’s fakes? Ummm...still hip-hoppin’ https://www.ackerwines.com/john-kapon-bio So everyone in the wine community jus...

61 LT has probably seen its best days and 99 is still on the upswing. 62 is a legendary LT and always regarded higher than 61.

If getting Burghound, look also at View from the cellar and Tanzer’s work.

Thank you very much Alan.

J@redC

Thank you.

You could subscribe to Burghound for all his scores.

Done! Thank you.

J@redC

Well, in his 'Pearl of the Cote' (which should be required reading if you're studying any VR sites), AM gives the '99 a 99 (along with '05) and cites that as perhaps a conservative score (not adding the fantastic note). The '61 he doesn't think nearly as highly of. Much prefers the '62. Ryan is cor...

J@redC

The biggest problem with old DRC is that it was bottled barrel by barrel( even today its only bottled 6 barrels at a time) -so there's a reasonable amount of variation. This doesn't include storage and cork variation also.Anything from the 60's is pretty rare by now with doubtful provenance. All re...

J@redC

Lots of variables in this stuff, but the most obvious point is that almost no one who buys DRC relies on or gives any weight whatsoever to RP ratings. Analysis using Meadows would be more apt. Ryan, thank you. Where would I be able to find his ratings for all DRC wines? Is there a list like they ha...

2005 Opus One. I bought it with my dear wife (girlfriend at the time) and tonight we celebrated 10 years together with the bottle of Opus we bought during our first year of dating.

J@redC

Thank you for the info!

The company with the best reputation for customer service is Le Cache. The company with the worst reputation for customer service is Vinotemp. I've had a no frills Avanti for the last 18 years that just keeps chugging along. No idea if they are still of the same quality. Second Le Cache customer se...

Hopefully today was the bottom. Let’s see how it plays out. A nice V shape bounce would be nice. Then I’ll start looking to buy more SE. Ha.

Jim, PM sent. Thanks.

The only concern I have is you might want to make the media room the wine room after you run out of space! Don’t worry and enjoy!

J@redC

Dave, for all price ranges there are so many wonderful options!

J@redC

KitchenAid makes a great compact one that’s very well built.

J@redC

Appreciate the insight. Thanks.

Just spent a long weekend in Boca and a local friend turned us on to a little secret: Los Bocados, a taco counter inside a Chevron station in Parkland. Yes, inside a gas station. This place has great reviews. We all loved it.

Next time I fly in, I’ll have to try it. Thanks.

J@redC

Prime 112 Private Room would be my choice.

J@redC

Had an excellent dinner experience at Marea last summer, where the prix-fixe was IMHO a genuinely good value and the service was spot on. They offer both a la carte and prix fixe at lunch time. I will second Marea. Before I even read the responses to your thread, it was the first place that popped ...

2010 Harlan Estate! Delicious.

J@redC

Yikes, today was tough to swallow.

For the Views: Chappellet, Pride, Outpost

Great recommendations. They have stunning views!

3L @ 5k is expensive! But rare-ish, no?
