Bump. Still can't drink here, huh?

David White · #2252 Post by **David White** » August 24th, 2016, 7:11 pm

If the answer were yes, would you move back?

Maybe someone should suggest a general get together. Not my house, its a wreck. lol

Sooooooo when is the holiday/moving out party?

NoahR · #2255 Post by **NoahR** » November 12th, 2016, 4:28 pm

When we find another fu*kin' warehouse. Anyone?

Should I change this thread title to McLean Wine Storage?

Darn it, I thought we were going to have a meeting of the palates tomorrow...

I heard you can drink at Domaine again.

Berg Atkinson · #2260 Post by **Berg Atkinson** » December 17th, 2017, 7:15 pm

Do customers still have to go out and obtain their own ABRA permit to use the tasting room, or has that changed?

NoahR · #2261 Post by **NoahR** » December 17th, 2017, 7:18 pm

I figure if anything has changed we’d have heard about it.

#2262 Post by **J. Singleton** » December 18th, 2017, 7:47 am

If the tasting room reopens, I'm expecting free popcorn and pony rides.

Shouldn’t we have a reunion?

JoeD · #2265 Post by **JoeD** » December 18th, 2017, 11:35 am

Yes, Please. I haven't seen David White rocking his wine-drinking unitard in a long time.

I think I saw him in this on his honeymoon.

David White · #2268 Post by **David White** » December 19th, 2017, 8:14 am

That's my cold-weather unitard, Jeb. The honeymoon version was much more revealing.

pending enforcement matters. No Settlement Agreement. Domaine DC, LLC, 4221 Connecticut

NoahR · #2270 Post by **NoahR** » January 29th, 2018, 7:47 am

Would be nice if ABRA got their crap together and allowed drinking in tasting room again without forms, applications and hullabaloo

David White · #2271 Post by **David White** » February 1st, 2018, 11:54 am

My understanding is that no one has received a "Tasting Permit" from ABRA because they've never actually issued one to a private collector so the regulators don't know what to do or what to issue.

#2272 Post by **R_Gilbane** » February 20th, 2019, 1:55 pm

DC DOMAINE IS BACK IN ACTION. I'M IN THE TASTING ROOM RIGHT NOW AND IT'S A TOTAL FREAK FEST. I'M PORONING GC WHITE BURG LIKE IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS. GET HERE BEFORE THE ALARMS TURN ON AT 10PM.

That’s not GC Burg, Bobby, that’s the sprinkler system. Did you set the place on fire again?

Dwizzo · #2274 Post by **Dwizzo** » April 1st, 2019, 5:22 pm

I'm new around here, but drinking at Domaine sounds fun. Is everything confirmed back the way it was and ready to go?

#2275 Post by **R_Gilbane** » April 1st, 2019, 8:13 pm

Yes and yes. Was in there today and there were a few people enjoying older Napa cab. Really nice to try an ‘82 Dunn HM (tired), 89 Opus One ( on Fire) and a ‘94 Dalla Valle Maya (spectacular).

That’s just mean.

The Dunn was delicious, especially out of magnum.

#2277 Post by **R_Gilbane** » April 26th, 2019, 6:56 am

Anyone heading to the Margaux tasting at Domaine today? Opening a few older bottles (including an '82) to celebrate life.

NoahR · #2278 Post by **NoahR** » April 26th, 2019, 8:44 am

My astral projection will be there, Bobby. Thanks for the head's up (chest up, eyes up, prayed up, as they say). I can stay late to finish bottles, since my astral body is not limited by physical barriers liked locked tasting room doors. My astral body cannot grasp stemware, which may pose a problem.

#2279 Post by **R_Gilbane** » April 28th, 2019, 7:20 am

Great event the other day! Good to see so many familiar faces. I though the Margaux showed really well but the ‘05 Ramonet Montrachet was simply spectacular. Happy to open up some more of those at the offline next week.

JoeD · #2280 Post by **JoeD** » April 29th, 2019, 7:29 am

We really should get that 30 years of Dominus dinner on the books.

Joe, that's a great idea!!! I'll swing by Domaine later today to start the planning process. Also will pull some of my older Dominus stash and do some "selective sampling" to ensure quality is in line with expectations. I'll be in the tasting room later this afternoon if anyone wants to see how the 80s Dominus is holding up.

Meet you there

#2283 Post by **R_Gilbane** » April 29th, 2019, 8:34 am

Noah, lunch just opened up for me and I'm now planning on a quick bite downtown in the G-Town area. Available to meet Milano at 12:30? Chef set aside a bottle of the '04 Conterno Monfortino (riserva), which pairs beuatifully with gnocchi and mondays!

JoeD · #2284 Post by **JoeD** » May 1st, 2019, 5:48 am

What time is everyone starting this weekend? Still doing "masters of the Northern Rhone" theme?

Alicia C. · #2285 Post by **Alicia C.** » May 1st, 2019, 5:57 am

great to hear these started back up (and what a perfect theme) -- I've got my Souhaut verticles and will jet down from Boston (plane lands at 11:30 a.m. so hopefully there by 12:30?)

#2286 Post by **R_Gilbane** » May 1st, 2019, 6:15 am

Great to hear Alicia! A strong addition to the tasting for sure. In addition to the Jamet vertical, I'll be adding three bottles I won from Noah (thank you Patriots for yet another Super Bowl!!!). Yeah they are too young to open but why not share the spoils of war with the gang? Also not sure where I would store the big boy as storage has become an issue. Who is taking responsibility for the suckling pig? Joe still on that?

NoahR · #2287 Post by **NoahR** » May 1st, 2019, 6:43 am

Have we done Gentaz vs Noel Verset yet this year?
I can probably bring most of 1991-2006 with the Verset.
Bobby?

#2288 Post by **R_Gilbane** » May 1st, 2019, 7:12 am

F- Noah you're going to drain my stores! I literally only have 3 bottles of the Gentaz Cote Brune left......but I'm not closing the door just yet. If you egt Art to bring his mag of '91 Chave, I'll bring my '91 Gentaz.

JoeD · #2289 Post by **JoeD** » May 6th, 2019, 7:02 am

Smart move on the last minute change in venue - the weather held out, chef's lamb shanks were awesome, and a good time was had by all! Im a big time Chave fan!!!

whats up next?

#2290 Post by **R_Gilbane** » May 11th, 2019, 8:24 am

Feeling some inspo from the recent Tanzer Cali retrospectives. Thinking older cabs today. Same time, same place as last week?

96 and 73 Mayacamas?

JoeD · #2292 Post by **JoeD** » May 13th, 2019, 12:04 pm

Interesting weekend, for sure. Who would have thought a '85 groth reserve mag would taste like "100 points", while a '97 Harlan tasted like Sherwin Williams.

when is VatanaThon?

NoahR · #2293 Post by **NoahR** » May 13th, 2019, 12:19 pm

Get in line, Joe. Not until after the 90 and 99 Vosne GC tastings

NoahR · #2294 Post by **NoahR** » May 16th, 2019, 6:56 pm

Are we doing Cros Parantoux, Jacky Truchot or both? Want to make sure we don’t get so narrow we leave anyone out.

JoeD · #2295 Post by **JoeD** » May 18th, 2019, 7:17 am

see everyone in a few hours, the waygu brisket just came off the egg. should be able to time it perfect for burnt ends.

Don’t think even Cros Parantoux will hold up to that. Too late to switch to 80’s Bordeaux or something?

#2297 Post by **R_Gilbane** » May 22nd, 2019, 8:44 am

What time is everyone showing up for the Terre Nere Fiesta this weekend? I have a few mags of '08 Prephylloxera ready to pop.
