In Venezia: Covino is excellent. Prix fix with choices, natural list (had a great Pinerolese). Etro is good. Corte Sconta is cool place near Asensle. In Firenze: La Giostra was killer, but that was 8 yrs ago. Haven’t been back. The Rialto fish market was pretty cool.

Best wishes and thank you for making wines that made a difference. I was lucky to try some of the 90s Syrahs, well aged. They were magical.

The bottle may not have been the best representation. I have no idea, it was a tad flat (dumb?). And I love the '08s, but I'm more a sec fan then demi.

The EWG met to sample some Loire wines last weekend at Otoño. Great night of food, wine and company. 2009 Domaine Huet Vouvray Pétillant Réserve Brut - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray Pétillant (8/27/2023) I’ve had this wine a few times, notably at the domain in 2019 and bought a few...

I've been seeing reports of his death. I'm deeply saddened and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Friuli has lost a tremendous force.

'09 Brun Brouilly is gorgeously glugable. If you find this wine sweet, I suspect pickles aren't your thing either.

The '04 is also a beautiful creature.

Simply shocked. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. A profound loss.

Well, that was unexpected.

I was just gifted a bottle of S. Maria al Monte. Is neat the preferred method? Temperature?

Thanks for the '78 update. Mine is queued for a Dec christening.

Thanks Eric. After web browsing your '10 CdR (and purchasing a reasonable parcel), I stumbled on the Tanzer publication's review indicating 100% Grenache (by Mr. Josh Raynolds). Not sure how he/they concluded that based on your response.

I have .375ml of LHL. Not sure when I'll open it though. But your note reminds me of similar behavior with N & S Rhone whites. I recall a 1987 Beaucastel Rousanne (no VV bottled back then) that behaved similarly.

Right, however, Josh Raynolds indicated 100% in 2010, thus my query. And "at least" is not very precise.

Exactly how much Grenache is in the '10 Cotes du Rhone?
