TN: Oh is for Ox (Selosse, Jamet, Drouhin, Huet, Etc.)

I'm upset that the one wine I wanted comment on, the 1969 G. Conterno, has no input.

Anyone have ideas about the two different labels? If this was the Rhone I bet Claude would know...

I've been there and there are no oak barrels.

To think I had to make a choice between caring for a postop wife and this meal, these wines.
Next time I'll make the RIGHT choice.

Nice of someone else to bring the Port, and a good one it is though you'd never know from Joe's notes of course.

Great pix Joe, even greater captions, and many morsels of well-written opinion.

One day, ask Amy about food poisoning in Sydney Australia 2003. I might have left her on the floor next to the toilet to attend a jeebus, but in retrospect it was the right choice.

OK, where is the disgorgement date on this Arbor Mist/Selosse bottle that I just fished out of the recycle bin?

So which disgorgement dates identify "on" bottles?

Do you suffer from the disease where anyone who disagrees with your assessment of a wine must have had off bottles?

Actually, you and I disagree about wines where I think all of the bottles have a flaw that I can't really live with (e.g. your beau, Herve).

It's not a disease, it's a euphemism.

Well, that seems easy. Except the bottle I'm holding doesn't have that label on it.

Ha ha.

No. I recognize "off" bottles, myself (esp. of wines I usually love), and if someone doesn't like a wine I like, I scratch my head. Then I send them hate mail.

It's not a flaw, it's a choice.

Some people don't like blue in their paintings, either.

Yes, but he puts that same sentence on all the cuves, so I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to find on the ros's back label, would it?

Must have been one of the good ones.
