What a nice lineup. Some great ones in there for a lunch. You are living right these days.

Jerry Hey

At 70, I have stopped buying special occasion wines and even most of the highly sought after wines I used to hunt down. Except for a couple producers that I get a decent allocation of some of my favorite wines, and a connection to DRC for a couple bottles, I'm just buying a few ready to drink wines ...

Jerry Hey

Thanks for these notes. I loved the PYCM 2008 MP (and basically every vintage) a couple years ago, but haven't tried the 08 Coche.

I have one at home and been wondering how it is showing. Thanks, it sounds like I should pop my bottle.
wait . . . for me. I can open 2010 Sauzet Monty though it’s painfully young.

Sounds like a good idea....the '10 Pillot Chevy can wait.

I have a bottle ready to go as soon as this covid is done. I bought a 1978 DRC assorted case on release and this one is from that case. Thanks for the note.

Jerry Hey

Thanks for the note. I'm hoping the greenies are minimal in my bottles. I'll get one out soon.

Jerry Hey

Infantcide, but any time opening a Rousseau is the right time.

Jerry Hey

You've been touting this wine for a few years now, so maybe eventually I'll get to try a bottle. If Alan doesn't pony up, come visit your daughter once the madness ends. I've got five of these in Minneapolis. I might take you up on that. She is moving later this month to a new house in Eden Prairie...

I bought two bottles of '62 Richebourg for something like $135 a bottle in the early 80's. Fantastic wines, but I've never had the 62 LT.
I’ll give you $270 each.

Sadly for you, Alan, and for me they are both gone....

I've had the 83, 85, and 88 Maume Mazi in the last year or so and they have developed into great wines drinking at peak now.

The best Lafite 1961 I have had was out of magnum. the wines during this era tend to better in large format, probably from better barrels. Both the maligned 1970 and 1975 were much better out of big bottles. Good to know because I have a magnum of '61 Lafite left to try during it's 60th birthday.

Bummer. I saw the title and thought you had 10 different vintages to discuss.

I'm pretty sure he does....

Jerry Hey

Yes, Suchots.

Jerry Hey

The last 04 Arnoux I had was very green. I pulled my last two bottles of my case so I'll check one out soon. Out of 10 that I've had, about half have been green and sadly, a couple even went down the drain.

I had the '14 Louis Michel MdT last night. Probably not the quality of Raveneau but '14 was a great year and at $30 this is a great QPR.
For some reason I picture you having pallets of wines like Louis Michel MdT for house wine.
Kris - I wish I did....

Jerry Hey

after a disappointing bottle from another vintage, I felt like giving Raveneau another chance. Winner, winner. Super refined nose, herbal notes with menthol, super acidity that augurs for two more decades of life, clean but lean classy fruit and rainwater, a lovely bottle. Glad I have more. Nice no...

similar thread years ago got the mic drop when Rosania said he had 500 cases of 96 Salon, admittedly 6 bottle cases, but geez . . . 3000 bottles, at that time about $200/b, now close to $1000/b.

Mostly made by Rudy???

Jerry Hey

Gautier - I have been to France about 30 times but never in July or August and only once in June to go to the 60th D-Day anniversary. I love going in the fall and winter months when the villages have few tourists.

Jerry Hey

I have been wine friends with Bipin Desai since the early 80's and I know he had authentic bottles of some hard to source wines. My first dinner with Bipin featured the 82 Musigny Blanc and a 47 Cheval Blanc. After that night I found some 47 Cheval and bought 6 bottles at $325. Bipin called a few ye...

Jerry Hey

Happy Birthday, Don. I had one of these a couple months ago and loved it. Glad yours was great for your celebration.

Jerry Hey

Gautier - thanks for those, especially in Meursault. I ate at Au Fil du Clos in February and while the food was good and the wine list excellent, I was a little underwhelmed with the atmosphere.

Jerry Hey

Another used to be the Morey Monge label for RSV that DRC took over.

Jerry Hey

Rousseau Chambertin

Jerry Hey

I had too many oxidized bottles of post '96 Chartron and stopped buying. I hope they have a better recent track record since they have such good vineyards.

Jerry Hey

I think I have 5 from an original release purchase at $110 a case. I should open one soon.

Jerry Hey

I think PYCM did well in 2011. The Montrachet that was opened at a dinner with him and George Derbalian on March 3rd was tight as a drum and was really young but what potential.

Jerry Hey

Just making some room for more DRC....

Sorry to hear about the premox.

Jerry Hey

You are celebrating Heidi's birthday properly. Nice wines.

Jerry Hey

PYCM wines have excellent long corks as well. I have met Pierre-Yves' cork supplier and he is very adamant about getting the very best quality cork.

Jerry Hey

Gotta love Scavino although I haven't had one this old.

Jerry Hey

I had a string session in the 80's with Glenn Dicterow who had recently gotten the concertmaster chair in the NY Phil. He had gotten the Stradivarius violin of the NY Phil to play and brought it to the session. He played a fellow string player's Guarnerius violin, an excellent violin in its own righ...

Jerry Hey

I've never seen or heard of that, but what do I know.

Jerry Hey

Excellent event today - thanks to all, including Laurent, who is indeed a class act.

Jerry Hey

password?

Jerry Hey

I had the last bottle of 2015 Brana Harri Gorri rosé a couple days ago. Lots of wine flavors and texture for a rosé. And I have one last bottle of the Irouleguy rouge left. Good stuff.

Jerry Hey

I've been on a Vilmart run lately with a Grand Cellier, an 08 Grand Cellier d'Or, 05 Coeur de Cuvee, Cuvee Rubis, and a 14 Grand Cellier d'Or. All have been excellent with the 05 CdC and the 08 Grand Cellier at the top of the group.

Jerry Hey

Thanks for the note. I'm waiting for a bit before opening the '17's...

Jerry Hey

Yes it is an easy but very tasty recipe and there is no browning of the chicken. And it's a one roasting pan dish. And some par boiled potatoes half way through the cooking time and you're in business.

Jerry Hey

The 09 Rousseau CSJ a couple years ago was a killer at Epicure in Paris. 500 Euros.

Jerry Hey

Not sure about this wine - I opened it tonight after these good reviews. Brown at the rim, not much nose, tannic, dirty and not much to like here. Food helped but only because the dinner was so good. I have 3 left but I can't imagine this will get any better.

Jerry Hey

The '82 Bordeaux wines were almost free on release. First growths for $335, Petrus even at retail was $225, Lynch Bages and other lower classes were $110 a case. Seems crazy these days. I still ahem a fair amount of '82 Bordeaux left, mostly Cheval, Mouton, Laftie, and Margaux and a few lesser growt...

Jerry Hey

Alan - I’ve never met an older Gaunoux I like.

Even the '61 Gaunoux Rugiens I opened? Those wines from '59, '61, and '62 are incredible.

Jerry Hey

It might be outstanding but I'm not a buyer. Too expensive and too risky, even with DIAM.

Jerry Hey

Tonight with homemade crab cakes I thought I'd give this a go. Light yellow color; oyster shell and lemon-lime nose; medium bodied and decent length. Not on a Grand cru level but for what most GC Chablis is going for these days, this is a good value.

Mt. Tam from Cowgirl and Wabash Cannonball (or other chevres) from Capriole in Indiana.
