Thanks for the original note Salil. Was equally impressed by my first bottle - very excited to let my remaining bottles rest as it felt like there's incredible material for aging.

Mark - some data from my CT notes: 1. Total Servin Notes Written: 32 2. Total Number of Oxidized Wines: 5 2a. 15.6% oxidation rate 2b. 60% of the premoxed wines were from 2007

Agree Jim. With Dauvissat prices as they are, Tribut is a great way to scratch that itch. on the debate about longevity, I've had good luck over the years. Lucked into a 1981 Dauvissat Sechet bottle a couple years ago and was floored by how regal it was.

Jim - I took your advice and bought a couple bottles of their 2019 Cinsault. Opened my first bottle yesterday on a brisk 91 degree day here in Las Vegas (my wife was honestly wearing a sweatshirt...) and wanted to thank you for the recommendation. Really delightful wine that had the perfect...

late to the party, but really enjoyed your notes Nathan.

pricing seems to have escalated more in this vintage than over the last few. or maybe i haven't been paying close enough attention.

this looks like fun - just downloaded it!

Hey Marc - I may be coming out to Tacoma in the near future. Fingers crossed...

A couple folks got together at Table, Donkey & Stick to welcome Keith to town. We had a nice mix of food and wine on a beautiful September evening. Some highlights: 2014 l'Anglore Terre d'Ombre - such a charming wine that shows off pure red fruits with touches of spice and earth here and there...

escaped the chicago winter last weekend and went to central florida. my wife is a big harry potter fan, so we checked out the new-ish Diagon Alley. for outsiders, like me, this place was more mall & less fantasy. beautiful weather though...anyways, we connected with a couple wine folk down there...

check out Will - i had a really nice meal there back in the spring with some friends. byo, too. http://www.willbyob.com/menu.html

planning to revisit some 2005 beaujolais. 10-years seems to be a good spot for my tastes. mark - you planning on being up in chicago at some point soon?

great notes, sharon. a fellow disorderly opened a 2002 Vatan not too long ago at a dinner in dc and it was horribly corked. bummer of the night. glad yours was on point. rebelle looks exciting.

just cracked a 2010 Guiberteau Motelles, too. i've been non-plussed with the Guiberteau rouges I've tried (especially after hearing they'd be a nice Rougeard-y alternative) thus far, but this might be my favorite to date. gave it more of a decant tonight (4 hours) and compared to the somewhat...

2004 Bregeon Gorges today. Haven't tried one in a while. Cool, refined, stoney - as I remember it.
