2018 I think.

Mine were Clos de Ducs.  I think I drank one of them but might have one more lying around somewhere.  Probably time to drink it.

  • if i do not get an explanation as to how b_p and milkman each drink over $100,000 of wine every weekend before this site ultimately shuts down, i am going to be severely pissed off.

  • Headed to higher ground and cooler temps to crush some vino!  

  • Precious cargo....

Shoot, I’ll take a good Barbaresco or Barolo any day!  At 13 years it should be drinking nicely. 

Any Turley fans? Just opened up their spring release.

No school for the kids means it's time to drink!

2 that I'm aware of....When school closings started to get announced on Wednesday the wine wives planning got put into motion

This was last night bottles. The Maybach was silky smooth and delicious!

One of my favorite projects in the past few years besides Martha Stoumen (and they both operate of the same winery). 

I frequent the bourbon thread but need to get off that and diversify. My bourbon needs a less volatile buddy. Hello!

I ordered 6 cases from my favorite little vineyard in Gaiole in Chianti this week.  Cannot wait for to to arrive.

Out here in Oregon tasting since Tuesday. Happened to run across some Aggie friends!

This is an excellent champagne (2008 La Grande Dame Rose) and you’re a rookie if you don’t saber.

Birthday dinner tonight. Decided not to open the 2009 Barrett & Barrett.b58b12a1cdf76c540e1e337548784574.jpg

The Les Pavots was the star. It was so balanced and smooth you could guzzle it. The MM was decanted for six hours and is still super young.

Catching up from Easter weekend

Spain for three weeks starting on Friday.  Much Rioja will go down.

Where are you finding your wine if I may ask, I've had some Lopez de Heredia before and would like some more.  It's wonderful.

I'm in Austin and found it at Twin Liquors Hancock. Also get it from Central Market North Lamar.

How was the Aubert?  I'm sitting on some but nothing 10yrs yet.

It was fantastic, as was the champagne. It was still going strong and showing no signs of decline. Aubert makes some of the best Chardonnay, in my opinion, and this one was near the top of the list of the ones I’ve had. We had a 2008 Lauren vineyard not too long ago that was also amazingly bright and youthful. I would imagine at least another 10 years or more before they start going downhill. 
On a different note, I had a 2002 Marcassin a little while back that was probably the best California Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Long story short, the quality California Chardonnays are definitely worth the money and can stand the test of time.

I hope those were patiently waiting in your cellar and you didn’t have to pay current market prices. Look forward to your thoughts on both. 

Frenchtown Farms, imo one of the most exciting producers in America right now. Snatch up any of this that gets to Texas. 60AD1CF8-E721-45EF-82EB-4C60D4AF6FD7.thumb.jpeg.1d4ea5172e90177de65ea9abf194133f.jpeg
