Cheap crap hommage

Although we are allowed to creep to $20 to be rule breakers. Considering we kicked this off at $16.

Yikes, another Rule of 15.

It seemed somehow appropriate.

With Tariffs, does it go to $15 plus Tariff? ;(

OK, did you all know GO is also known as Gross Out?

Another bottle of Cheap Crap. A wine I have now loved for almost three decades, a glass of Gerald Talmard Macon-Chardonnay always brings a smile, this, a '23. BTW - that is Macon-Chardonnay as in the village, not the grape, though the grape is Chardonnay. Get it? Always well balanced, full but not flaccid, balance of mineral and fruit, sort of a no brainer. A bit apple-y but not overly so. Just a tich of that north Macon hairspray. I miss the cheap Macons of yore and this is a holdout.

For those looking for something a bit more terroir driven, do check out the Macon-Uchizy. It's definitely got that very particular northern Macon hairspray thing going. I do like it but not quite as glou.

The '23 TJ/Brocard Chablis St Celine is da bomb...a bit of age has given a little perk.

TBC, da bomb for a $16 Chablis.

That is a Cheap Crap price!

Into our third case - works for us.

Right behind u.

BTW that Talmard shares a Cheap Crap price of $16.

Well put, I agree.
