June 11, 20196 yr Incredible night of wines! The highlight of the show was the 1990 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and tons of other special bottles.
June 11, 20196 yr ummm, where motherfucker? very, very nice. 1990 vintage was pretty legendary in an otherwise pedestrian year for burgundy overall. la tache especially supposed to be above and beyond. any reviews between the four vines? supposed to be some notes of mint hidden in all of them but especially the richebourg.This happened in Dallas. I will pull all of my notes together and make a post.
June 11, 20196 yr Lame, you're missing the Romanee-St Vivant and Grands Echezeaux.....You bring them and we will party!
June 11, 20196 yr Wow. That is one hell of a lineup. Where in Dallas? Based on those wines I suspect I might know one or two of the folks in your group.
June 13, 20196 yr How was the Clos du Papillon?Fine. Wasn’t my cup of tea but everyone else seemed to like it.
June 13, 20196 yr If you have to ask, probably not. All you really need is something open to bottle. The rest is for show.
June 13, 20196 yr I wouldn’t spend the extra cost on one. All you need is a good waiters pull and a Durand for those older bottles. The Durand on the other hand is worth every penny!

June 15, 20196 yr So private dinner Thursday night in Aspen with some customers was a nice treat . More great wine. The theme was Wines That Inspired You and was hosted by Charles Bieler and Joel Gott. Joel also brought a few wines from his cellar. Mezcal was for dessert. That Trevallon was whole cluster Cab with Syrah and big. The Insignia was classic old school Napa Cab. Yesterday was Fried Chicken and Champagne lunch. About the Building Blocks Cab: Story is that Joey Wagner volunteered to chair the charity event for his kids school. Then the next day realized he made a mistake. So he called Dave Phinney and Joel Gott (their kids go to same school ) and tried to rope them into helping. After a couple of weeks of floundering to get things going, they agreed to hire an Event Coordinator to handle it. She knocked it out of the park and they decided to do something fun for the auction. So they bottled 10 case of 2010 mags of Building Blocks Cab, which is 1/3 Caymus Special Select, 1/3 Pappillion, and 1/3 Gott Napa Cab.

I load up on that in London for about $25-$35 per bottle (have several cases stored there) but just saw it in Houston for $75/bottle. It, and Mas de Daumas Gassac have always been amazing at that price point.
July 19, 20196 yr I believe gamay is allowed as well, but I don't know if anyone is actually bottling one. Vatan used to make a great pinot, which is pretty much impossible to find. Vacheron makes a pretty good one, and while not super easy to find, it's out there.
July 20, 20196 yr Popped some mags and [emoji91] Bordeaux for an epic birthday celebration!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

July 23, 20196 yr Point me toward a good $20 - $30 red that’s not Zinfandel, please. I like Napa Cabs. I do not like $80+ per bottle often.
