Just realized another requirement: can you store at these warehouses ex-VAT/under bond, gor later import into the US?

Ex-VAT is difficult.
You need to be approved by the Douane and is geared more toward commercial work due to the paperwork and costs.

A 1991 Lapierre Morgon drank two weeks ago in Lyon was simply incredible and was a world class wine in every regard.

1991 Marcel Lapierre Morgon was a revelation.

Blanton's Straight From The Barrel (127.6°)
Japanese release. Rare 750ml format. $225--/bottle.

2000 DRC Marc de Bourgogne
$1000--/bottle.

Hakushu 25 Year Old (w/ gift box)
$4250--/bottle.

1966 Lhéraud Fins Bois Cognac (w/ gift box)
$500--/bottle.

Bravo to Jonathan! Thanks, Jorge! And thank you Asher for taking a look at the website. I got my hard copy yesterday - it's gorgeous, though I wish they had given it a hard cover. :) I was following the live auction this morning. Looks like almost all lots went above the high estimate. Not surprisi...

Two Rock Valley.
An incredible goat cheese from a farm a few miles west of Petaluma.

Thierry has wine making skills, great terroir, top viticulture, a willingness to experiment, and a great work ethic.
There are very few who are at his level.

One case x 2011 (magnums): $1000--/case
One case x 2012: $1125--/case
One case x 2015: $1250--/case

Saw a couple of cases for sale for €5500--.

Maybe buy some bottles and drink them?

This is Wine Pimps, not amateur hour.

Fu, stop writing off so much time. That feels like a 1.2
I’ve always been told I under bill for tasks.

An expensive post and you still misspelled pallets.

Makes one wonder, what exactly is wrong with the 2005 vintage?

The wines were available in good quantities and have appreciated substantially?

des Côtes Rousses
Curtet
Trosset
Grisard (difficult)
Belluard
Péron

The back story behind the Cornas is fairly interesting.

The élevage is completed in Hervé Souhaut's cellar and then the barrels are moved to Pacalet's cellars in Beaune for the aging.
Philippe's parcel in Cornas was selected in conjunction wth Thierry Allemand, as they are close friends.

One dozen bottles = six x original release and six x 2018 ex-cellars release.
$5000--/case.

Adding Tumalo Falls for a nice hike.

And 900 Wall for decent food and well priced Walter Scott X-Novo.

For a cool drive and then subsequent hike, NF-370, a forest road a few miles west of Mt. Bachelor, which intersects with the Cascade Lakes Highway.
You can access Todd Lake, and then if you continue, Broken Top and the South Sister.

For dinner, I find Ariana to be the best restaurant in town.

Obscene Métras allocation just landed... I think I will have to open a wine bar at this rate... 12x 2018 Madame Placard 24x 2018 Beaujolais 12x Fleurie Printemps 12x Fleurie VV 6x mags Fleurie VV There is a Cuvée 1 and Cuvée 2 in 2018 for the Beaujolais, at least that was what I was invoiced for.

In the Lufthansa first class lounge, there is a window with a custom's officer.

When you enter the lounge from the Schengen area, he will stamp your passport as you are departing.
Likewise there is a separate entrance, on a different level, from the non-Schengen area upon arrival.

Even the lounge(s) at Munich are the bees knees.
Clear custom’s while you are in the lounge . . . yes please.

I was on the train from Perrache to Gare de Lyon last week.

We were delayed ten minutes at Part Dieu and still arrived on time into Paris.
The TGV was at 300 km/hour for a nice portion of the journey.

Both cities can be great, but the best spots are off the beaten path.

I can't believe people pay $100-$130 a bottle. At that price you can buy the 2015,2016 and 2017 right now. I will still pay $100 per bottle for any Gonon St Joe on offer. So far only one berserker has accepted my offer, but if you have some and you are ready to sell let me know! Alex Alex, I would ...

Let me put it as an analogy question: Duboeuf is to Beaujolais as is _______ is to Rhone. I think Guigal's main problem has nothing to do with Parker, but rather that they make such mass quantities of mediocre négociant wines--that it devalues the rest of their holdings. As noted, not a proper anal...

Important caveat: most do not refund the full twenty percent via Pablo or any of the VAT refund entities. You are looking at eleven or twelve percent back at the most. Yeah, I was wondering how that would work when it says the refund centers are located inside the airport. Good to know, will stick w...

In my mind, Villaret's list is starting to fade a bit.
It was a good run . . . but it is hard to keep a list priced the way they did for so long.

Thanks for reminding me of this spot. Will go there. It is in my hood
And thanks for the great notes
Did you go to Villaret?

In Cruzille, Clos des Vignes du Maynes.

In Annecy , Clos des Sens just received a third star.
I have never been, but I have heard very good things from a few friends who have.

hopefully d'auvenay.

Jerry,

There will be a single bottle of Aligoté remaining for you when you arrive.

Cheers

Sitting in my hotel room in Lyon, laughing at this poll, after my wife and I just finished a wonderful meal, with wine, at Restaurant Les Adrets. Total bill for both of us was 99 Euro. I have eaten there quite a few times, as recently as earlier this month. A perfect example of a "neighborhood/loca...

james actually never retired.
he went to work in the warehouse.

At the very least you should make a donation for the free information and ad space.

I paid €166-- for 2009 Rayas.
The real prices are more than fair.

i like verre volle, but i think there are much better choices with your limited time in terms of wine, it really depends who is on the floor a couple of times i was taken back into the walk-in cellar and another time it was a whole lot of nothing aight kiddos Leaving for France friday Arrive saturda...

Le Neptune.

I would buy every bottle of Bizot Bourgogne Rouge for $125-- that I could find.
And that might be a handful if I am lucky.
Sometimes wines way outperform their "classification".

I am familiar with the owner.
It is someone that I have purchased from in the past prior to his online operation, and would continue to purchase from again if the situation arose.

These bottles were released from Catherine's cellars earlier this year: 1986 Cornas: $200-- 1992 Cornas: $110-- 1993 Cornas: $115-- 1995 Cornas: $125-- 1996 Cornas: $135-- 1997 Cornas: $145-- 1999 Cornas: $160-- 2000 Cornas: $120-- 2000 Cornas (Magnums): $250-- 2007 Cornas (Magnums): $260-- 2008 Cor...

I have been to Lyon at least twenty times and I still feel as if I am just scratching the surface.
Just an amazing city.

I am not talking about the wine, I am talking about the recent games buying and selling Juge etc. I am fine with Cornas and drink it although not regularly. You, Markus, need to lighten up. It seems you guys are all operating on misinformation on the 2013 juge vintage. Including alfert. You guys ar...

Organic old vine, whole cluster, concrete tank excellence.
$245--/six bottles | $480--/twelve bottles.

maybe try the loft above zydeco.
or bend wine storage.
or talk to the staff at 900 wall.

If you can find their Pinot Meunier, give it a whirl.
