07 Domaine La Garrigue, La Romaine--worth new mention

Otto_Dobre · February 27, 2009, 3:26am

I know it’s been discussed but worth a special mention for those who’ve missed it. The wine is unbelievable. On day 3 this wine is just superb. It has tremendous concentration, excellent balance of acidity, fruit and tannins. I am gonna order an additional 2 cases to add to the 2 from winex. May be the best QPR I’ve ever had!!!

I just finished a bottle on day two Otto and although I agree that the wine was better on day 2, than one it is far from the best QPR I have had. Man some of those 2000 Bords make this taste like Kosher wine.

Sure is hard to find around here - seems everybody is buying it by the case, and I have yet to try it

Otto_Dobre · February 27, 2009, 3:50am

Jack, if you are referring to the sweetness of the wine, I find it completely balanced by its acidity. Wait…what the hell am I arguing with you Jack… [1928_middle_finger.gif]

And don’t you bring any kosher wines to our OL!!! [laughingneqw.gif]

Keep hounding WineX. They are bound to dig up more since they are moving so much of it.

I can’t wait until the 06 clears so I can buy some of the 07. The only problem I will have is that most of you in other states will be able to buy it cheaper than my wholesale.

I’m getting another case delivered today. I plan to let them sit for 6-8 months. I got them at Zachy’s for $12.99 including shipping, I bought a second case of 07 Delas CDR that they forgot to ship with the Garrigue for $9.99. They shipped it overnight UPS last night. The shipping cost more than the wine.

I’ll just say… I think I was the first to rave about this over on eBob back in January… [big_boss.gif] Having done that, everyone went out and promptly bought it all up so that I only have less then half a case left myself.

Rob, buddy, you have to realize that the one who gets the credit for anything is the one who yapps the most. Doug Wilder discovered the 04 Keever and I yapped. The Treana is Todd’s finding, but I will always get the credit.

So just go back and be quiet while I will get all the acolades! [gheyfight.gif]

ToddFrench · February 28, 2009, 12:05am

If you keep getting credit for the Treana, I will just ban you, then I will get my due praise

I didn’t say I’d belittle and emasculate you, come on.

I go for the jugular, nothing is beneath me, I will call you any names…you Sir are toast!
