    Impressions 11-18-21

    For a data point, I found that a 2005 magnum drunk in December 2019 was everything I hoped for.

    When did the Jura go all Burgundy...

    Chambers St. recently sold off 6 bottles of Houillon from a private (disorderly?) collection in the $400-500 range. The Houillon 2007 Arbois Pupillin Poulsard was $474.99. From the archives, the original offer from Chambers St circa December 2008: Houillon 2007 Arbois Pupillin Poulsard...

    Clos Roche Blanche

    I went by recently and noticed that the cork had dropped into the bottle on account of the spotlights.

    How bad an idea is it to visit the Loire valley in October?

    Additional data point: 2009 vintage, earlier than usual harvest. We picked Clos Guillot in the morning of October 7th and moved over to Croix Boisee after lunch.

    Long Island Winery Recommendations

    Presumably they are sisters as well. I usually find a visit to Channing Daughters interesting because of their skin contact whites and esoteric (not for this bored) varietals: ribolla gialla, refosco, lagrein, and so on. However, given their location in Bridgehampton, they are some distance...

    Does Bierzo hold any interest around here?

    What is the source on the Trousseau connection? Based on my reading of Jancis' 2012 "Wine Grapes", no relationship is suggested between Trousseau and Mencía. However, it does state that Mencía is identical to the Portuguese Jaen du Dao. This could be a source of potential confusion given the...

    Fun with wine flaws

    May not be the shop. I had the same unusual viscosity in a bottle of 2011 masieri back in December. I had never experienced anything like that, and didn't really have a clue what it was at the time. I initially thought it was a limited issue (other bottles seemed fine at that point), but it...

    Charleston recommendations?

    I was at Husk last month and enjoyed everything that I ordered, but others at the table didn't fare so well. Wine list was small, reasonably priced (all two digits iirc) but had a few surprises, including the 1987 Quintarelli Valpo. that I picked up. Didn't have a chance to try Fig, but that was...

    airline wine lists?

    They may have moved on from the wines listed in the media kit. Digging through FlyerTalk, it looks like the menu might still be similar to this one from an Oct 2010 Affaires (business class) A380 flight: Champagne: Lanson Black Label Brut Bourgogne Blanc: Rully 2006 ou 2007 Joseph Drouhin...
