What missing wine did you find in your cellar recently?

WINE TALK
1

Glad I am just ok with CT inventory. Found a 2002 Phelps Insignia that wasn’t in inventory. Felt like I won the lottery.

2

Found a magnum of 1996 Bollinger Grand Annee.

Couldn’t even remember buying it.

That was nice.

3

I lost a 95 Hudelot Noellat Romanee St Vivant and I know it wasn’t consumed yet. I will be happy one day when I find it. (it’s been missing for 3-4 years)

I am good at entering wines but not so good at removing them when I drink them. Since stocking the new cellar in the last couple of weeks, I have deleted about ten wines that I presume I drank. I have added none.

5

One bottle of 1993 Armand Rousseau Clos de Beze. I thought only left with '93 Chambertin. What a pleasant surprise!

6

375 of 90 Yquem

7

'78 Ch. Pavie. Mid-shoulder, and unfortunately a bit past its sell-by date.

8

94 Chave. I knew I had it, just couldn’t find it.

9

95 Hudelot Noellat Romanee St Vivant.

Found it about 3-4 years ago.

About 2 months ago I went looking for a 1996 Olga Raffault Chinon in my inventory. It (along with a few other bottles) wasn’t in that case but the case did contain

1 1997 Olga Raffault Chinon Blanc which I had been looking for for years
2 1994 Allemand Reynard Cornas which I thought I must have drunk up years ago
1 1997 Huet Moelleux CdB 1er Trie (375)

I now only know of one missing bottle (a 1971 Les Forts de Latour).

Unfortunately, more often than not, my surprises go the other direction.

Not really looking for, but found for Thanksgiving a bottle of cabernet given to me from Mount Palomar (1983). Lots of different cellars and time, but it was really lovely. Mature with refined tannins and gentle cedar/cigar notes. Not a cab aficionado, but went beautifully with turkey. Even the next day it held together well. Mike

2003 Felsina Fontalloro

Not really found because I never bought it. Must have been mixed with 2004s. Great wine experience though and has me rethinking my blanket aversion to warm vintages.

I found 3 bottles of Corton Charlemagne in my Envoyer box that I didn’t remember ordering!
