6 x 2010 Mouton
Ps: remarkable how bad 2010 EP was. 13 years later I am buying the wine at 30% lower price than EP

A fairly modest stash from Ćpernay and Troyes.
Well if you ignore the other 300 bottles for our shop.

Yep. Not my favorite. I donāt like displaying so many āunavailableā bottles.
Seriously, so frustrating. Impossible to tell whatās actually available.
I fully understand avoiding cherry pickers. But so many bottles that were āunavailableā last time I was there are still up.
Anyway whatās left is still great. Butā¦.
None of this from Chambers.
This post from Melvin Yeo reminded me that Iām a goldfish:
If a wine is not staring me in the face, i will forget it exists and wonāt look for it. Case in point, ever since Iāve moved to France Iāve been buying French wines almost exclusively. I still love wines from elsewhere but where the SAQ was constantly bombarding me with communications and shops full of wines from all over the world, French cavistes donāt. And, the goldfish that I am still wonāt go looking for them on the web unless I drink one and buy right away. I suck.
Anyways, so I read Melvinās post about the lovely Savage Follow The Line and start telling myself that I should look outside of France once more.
My wife was getting inked in Annecy today so I was the designated driver and figured I would make a lunch out of it. @Patrick_Taylor Saba was full (Iāll try another time) so I stopped at Bon Pain Bon Vin where the food is average, the by the glass options are a little bit of a minefield (natural, original, small production, etc.) but the service is always a hoot and the vibe is nice. I get to talking to the front of house dude and we exchange experiences about wines from New Zealand. He proceeds to tell me that there is a wonderful caviste, about 100 meters from the restaurant, who is specialized in non-French wines and has one of the best selections in France. Guess where I went after lunch:
The guyās got all kinds of cool stuff I used to get in Quebec: Patatsfontein, Birichino, Au Bon Climat, Dog Point Vineyard, Filipa Pato, Anselmo Mendes, Thymiopoulos, Kir Yianni, Okroās Wine, etc, etc, etc. I can just swing by the shop and find some good stuff to grab.
This little goldfish is happy.

I just looked it up, found Les PassionnƩs du Vin there.
Looks like they have a pretty good selection too. Less ālesser knownā stuff maybe. I had never heard of them. Iāll check them out next time in Annecy. Thanks!

I love this, a whole new wine characteristic!
I canāt decide if I am a magpie who is attracted to collecting shiny objects or a lobster - buying wine as if I will live to 120 years.

Sure did

My buddy had an 18 'Staff this past weekend and dug it. Coincidentally told me that today.
