if anybody attempts this please report back...

compagnie already offering 25% off their entire list. no need to attempt this - make a call if you think you want something.

the ny state liquor authority is temporarily allowing restaurants to sell wine for off-premise consumption which is fantastic. there is an ocean of great wine sitting all over nyc in restaurant basements. if you're so inclined, reach out to them and buy wine. this is a huge help to them.

I tried to sign up but that requirement of an agreement that they will send emails is a deal breaker for me. I don't want more wine spam.

Similar story about five or six years ago, which was my last time there. And not just because of this incident. Four of us brought a bottle each to dinner. The last bottle opened, a '93 Rousseau Chambertin was corked and obviously not served. I always bring an extra bottle or two for these kind of ...

ybarselah

The most nonsensical corkage story I experienced was at EMP years ago under the Danny Meyer regime, and when Daniel Humm was cooking there. At the time, you were allowed to bring X number of bottles, after which you had to pay an additional "dedicated sommelier fee." Maybe $300? Don't recall exactl...

For a young wine, Billecart-Salmon's vintage BdB comes to mind.

yes! i recently had this at a store tasting and didn't even know it existed. more clean/pure than the comtes, but maybe it just needs a few years. i really enjoyed it.

Yaacov,
Check out Bereche Les Beaux Regards. BdB, no dosage. Also Vouette et Sorbee Blanc d’Argile. I, too, love Chardonnay with bubbles.

i like both of those. the vouette is more of the style i'm after.

ybarselah

have really enjoyed coutier prior, and it's a very good bdb certainly for the price, but i don't remember it being similar. will revisit.

william - super interesting info, thanks!

2002 sold

ybarselah

that's incredibly helpful, thanks. i'm surprised at how little oak is used tbh.

ybarselah

had another terrific showing of the 2004 this week. my favorite BdB by a fairly wide margin. and for a Tête de cuvée, an amazing qpr. but i'm greedy and would love to know what else is out there in the same general mold? to me, the wine represents intense white burg-type aromas, very fine bubbles, a...

ybarselah

all mine since release. local pickup (or domaine NJ transfer), email pls (not pm) thanks for looking!

1 x 2002 Jadot Bonnes Mares $250

1 x 2005 Jadot Bonnes Mares $325

2 x 2005 Jadot Clos st Jacques $200 each

1 x 2009 Jadot Clos st Jacques MAGNUM $300

8 x 2005 Corton Pougets $140 each.

thanks!

ybarselah

so the current green spot is not worth getting? haven't gotten in a while and loved the style. but perhaps i was tasting the "new" style and my taste is shite?

ybarselah

open to offers on the roumier volnay as well. locally pls.

ybarselah

3 x 2005 M. Sorrel Hermitage "Le Greal" - $175 each

$400 for all 3. nyc pickup only.

ybarselah

I am not so sure about that. A lot of the top Burgundies were bought by speculators ; not sure they can hold on to it forever, and almost certainly they don’t plan to drink it by the case. As I said, I am cautiously optimistic. this is of course true, but unlike - say bordeaux - there just isn't an...

ybarselah

lol - hard no. i think the most you can hope for is that off vintages sell for full retail instead of some level of "crazy" market price. but actual decreases cannot happen.

ybarselah

sold thanks.

1 pristine bottle $650

email please. thanks for looking.

ybarselah

tried about 40 wines in an hour or so. there is a lot of very not good wine out there. great tasting for calibration, i'd say.

Passage 53 has undergone a transformation to a bistro and is now La Table du 53. Food is (still) great, but the wine list is more modest thank it was.

Passage 53 is in hiatus and may reopen in an other location.

fascinating update, thanks.

Ah. I was confused about some of the comments here but realize I did not click on the link to the actual paper. I thought all of this was based on the news article that the original link connected to. Now I realize there is a good deal more here. Not sure if I will take the time to wade through it,...

I am curious about more detail on the study. My experience (and I admit I have not done a deep dive on this) is finding the sweet spot between too coarse (which results in long, watery pulls), and too fine (which results in short or no pulls, and sometimes clogged pulls). When I combine this with t...

Can you zip them and then just post a link to that? Or you can split them and post to Google Drive - they have a 10mg limit. more like 50mb-100mb+ depending on file type. by far the easiest way to do it would be to create a folder and drag all the files you want into it and then share the link to t...

2 thoughts that came up in the allemand thread that got totally lost. 1. brett can bloom, so storage matters. as does the cork as oxygen transfer can impact brett bloom. 2. more important, dominant and famous aromas of northern syrah are from a certain type of brett (there are several, and they pres...

Curious. My 2003s are marked 14%--well less than 15.4% but within the legal variance. I can't see the date on that bottle. Are you sure it's the 03? Perhaps Dan knows about label variance. I should say, by looking at my bottles from 00-07, that the alcohol markings seem to be by rote. Up to 03, the...

pegau labeled at 13.5% lab tested at 15.4% - not sure labels are actually relevant to what's in the bottle?
fascinating.

the brett levels were off the charts.

for those that got allocations of anything (as opposed to wish list), how long have you been on the list?
Another spin: for those receiving mags, had you been buying Second Flight? And how many took the Bonneau du Martray offer?

- On since 2001. No mag. 2007 wish list .750s.

solid spin.

Which Pegau are you speaking of? This wide a variance is beyond the legal limit. Maybe you mean labelled as 14.5?

2003 vintage ...

Based on these small samples it indeed seems not just based on seniority. Thanks guys.
