Since we cannot find it, why not post on more unicorns? This way we have to believe in them.
Plenty of the regular Côte Rotie out there! 3 listings on wine searcher
fu, have you by chance had the St Joseph from Gerard?
Greeting me at the door tonight when I arrived home:
No sir.
Not Fu, but a friend hosted a blind tasting of 2015 St. Josephs, including the big guns and a few ringers; 37 bottles total. This wine was the favorite: 2015 Xavier Gerard St. Joseph “Le Blanchard."
Rosenthal sold out of the 2016 in a flash; just 20 cases for the U.S.
Disclaimer: I sell Gerard and a lot of the other wines included in the tasting.
I’ve had the Saint-Joseph in the past and it is excellent.
I appreciate “non-fu” thoughts as well! I’m eyeing down a couple bottles on Kogod and the Blanchard is one of them after reading this thread.
Wine house has a few st Joseph in stock, I’ll give one a shot.
I bought the regular Cote-Rotie because on this thread. Looking forward to trying it for the first time in 10 years!
Good for you, but I don’t think you need to give this 10 years: 3-5 more years in bottle would be fine in my view. Cheers!
Even better. Thanks!
8 cases down 2 to go lol
Just bought 3 more. So down to less than 2.
Gone
That was quick.
I’m sure the email blast was going to sell the wine quick anyways but that was pretty quick.
I forgot that Xavier was at a dinner there in March; I would’ve went but was out of town.
Wine House (LA) just sent out an e-mail ad… 120 bottles at $49.99 per bottle…
No, I do not work for them…
Cheers…
Looks like there’s 2 bottles left now lol
