Count me in for Roilette-fest. I’ve got a smattering of vintages, including 04, 05, and 06 of the regular and 05, 07, and 09 of the Tardive.

I'm also a fan of the L'Anglore wines, and also chagrined by the U.S. pricing. That dynamic does make them fun to order off Paris lists though. Claude/Rahssan: Very interested to hear if you have any favorite other wines that scratch a similar itch at a more reasonable price range. (I've...

Thank you Rahssan and Robert for the reports. I'm sorry I was out of town and couldn't attend. On the topic of how these wines age, I can't express a view as to whether it makes sense to put them away for multiple decades, but I've had good luck with 10+ years of bottle age for a couple of...

Jayson/Zach: I have a 98 I'd love to contribute to that Gallet vertical, so please keep me posted if plans develop.

Nice tasting. That 2016 Peillot Bugey Mondeuse is a special wine. I remember loving it at the Dressner tasting at Racines in 2019, so much so that I ordered a bunch of it to serve at a work event we had that summer. A few days after the event, one of the Executive Assistants in our group...

I've had success cellaring the Sandlands Trousseau for a few years. The 2014 seemed to gain depth and complexity over time, and my last bottle of it (which I had early last year) was terrific--much more aromatically interesting than it was on release.

I'm in if it's on or after Labor Day.

This is good to know. I liked this producer's 2018 Pinot Noir from the Jesse James vineyard a lot and would put it in the same category.

The l'Anglore "Vejade" (which I believe is 100% Mourvedre) is sometimes reminiscent of some of my favorite D&R bottlings, particularly the (typically just a little darker than rose) Especial. It's red fruited, fresh, bright, and delicious in all the right ways, yet hard to find and sometimes a...

I think you're right we've never met in person, Jim, but I've so enjoyed your writing over both here and on Therapy for many years, and your personality comes through so vividly in your writing that I feel like I know you---anyway, thank you for that gift. If you ever make it up to the Big...

It was so great to see so many old friends again. Has been way too long. I didn't decant the Musigny, which maybe was a mistake. I found it to be quite closed aromatically at first, then later on it opened up a lot, and then it closed down again, all in the space of a few hours. As Jeff...

Make it three! With a bit of notice I'd be glad to pull a bunch of things from storage. I have some Furst and Molitor as well as bottles from around a dozen of the Lyle producers (largest quantities are of E&M, Walter, and Ziereisen)

Jayson flatters me. I wouldn't call myself "educated" on the topic---except to the extent one might say Barney from the Simpsons is "educated" on the subject of Duff's Beer. Anyway, I do drink and cellar a lot of Enderle & Moll and I am definitely a fanboy. The style (shorthand: high-toned...

I haven't had the Mobitz wines so can't comment on them, but in Baden I am completely gaga for Enderle & Moll. I know they are a different animal in many ways, but given the price point and how beautifully they drink in the first 5 years after release, these wines have basically gotten me to...

Potato knishes. Seriously.
