DOTY: Dirty & Rowdy, particularly the Mourvedres - better late than never
WOTY: My first Yquem. Starting out with my cellar, I said “NFW would I pick up a half bottle of dessert wine at that price… not matter how good it was”. One tasting later and my Visa card is the proud owner of more than a couple…
DOTY: I’m gonna need to age my newly purchased burgs a decade more than I planned for… 
WOTY - 1978 Sassacaia, which I believe is one of the first if not the first year of production
Discovery of the Year - Commando G which is some fantastic garnacha being made out of Greda in Spain.
Jayson, I hear you. Sadly I’m in the same state…not chasing these absurd prices.
When I saw a bottle still available at PJ for over $300. I felt I should have sold it!

Was one of my discoveries last year. Even their entry level wines are fabulous!
That is very kind. ![[worship.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/9/99a8907a1d5b3c023582052741dc72dc9823c044.gif "worship"){kind=small}
Thank you!
2000 Musar was a revelation of how good these wines can be with age.
Agreed picked up a case of the entry level stuff. Didn’t last me 6 months before the next one was ordered!
So tasty
Almost forgot to add
- Tiberio’s whites: Was at a tasting of stellar white burgundy producers’ 2015 early this year. Range of wines across from village to Premier Cru. Tiberio’s wines were served to start the evening and was the standout! Just wow!
Yes! The 2013 A Teixa was an eye opening wine for me. Had a real 1er-cru Chablis feel for me. His reds are fun too, but the whites really shine.
I agree, incredible wine. Reminded me for R&V Dauvissat Foret.
But Ssssh! It’s difficult to get them as it is.
Discovery of the year… it’s late breaking actually: we actually kind of “get” Italian wine now! It was hard won! Second place is that we found an Aussie wine we like that isn’t Riesling: Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz for $25 is decidedly not terrible!

Love the note, Shon. But…which vintage? 
WOTY: I tasted the 2005 Yquem, but picked up '81, '01, '09, '10, '11, '15. '05 will be when credit card gets reset to zero.
DOTY: 1989 Faiveley Cazetiers, among other very aged burgs, has demonstrated to me my favorite burgs this year have been closer to 30 years aged versus 15.
Just bumping this as we swing into mid-month. Get your selections noted down. 
WOTY - 1999 Taupenot-Merme Charmes-Chambertin. Still relatively new to exploring Burgundy, and wow, have never had anything like this.
DOTY - 2001 Chateau Montelena. I’ve mostly tasted modern/ripe/oaky Cali Cab, so tasting a classic producer with some age was a revelation. A core of delicious fruit that has the acidity to keep it fresh, and is surrounded by a lot of nice complexity (leather, soy, tobacco).

Discoveries of the year. When in Burgundy this summer, I tasted at three estates where either I had not tasted any wines before. These were Heitz Lochardet, Clerget (at least I had not had any wines from Thibaud Clerget - the new generation) and Pierre Amiot. Amiot is an established small producer that is and has long been under the radar apparently making understated but top notch Burgundies in and around Morey St. Denis. Heitz and Clerget are run by young men who are on their way to becoming stars. Visit to Burgundy and Champagne - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers

1978 Rodney Strong Alexander’s Crown Vineyard Cabernet
NV Pol Roger from Salamanzar (simply for the delight of a 9L champagne bottle)
