Re: TN: Grab Your Cotes and Hat...
Bought 5 of the 2005 10 years ago @ $25/each. They were spectacular. Drank over 5-6 years. Yes Clape CDR are fabulous. A recent 2011 proved this point. Thanks for your note and the confirmation of the wine.

Not Truchot, but my wife and I enjoyed a 2004 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale this past weekend which had a touch of green spice but was well-balanced and very delicious. Not "green meanies" by any stretch of the imagination.

We have been pleased with our Govinos. Same. Great little glasses by the pool, camping, etc. Best plastic glasses I've seen for sure. My problem with Govinos is that if it is windy they will move, fall over, spill or fly away. I also prefer the metal lidded goblet shaped that can be had a Costco.
