Ask and you receive.

To satisfy the seeming demand for the Clos Roche Gamay 2008 in a regular cork....the dynamic Catherine/Didier team will bottle some. It will not be available for a few months and will only be sold to people who also bought the synthetic version. Proof of purchase will be necessary.

Only 315 bottles will be made and they will be available at Chambers Street Wines. Same price as the synthetic bottling.

Get your reservations in now before they are sold out. En Primeur sales begin on Thursday.
 
Or there's the altermative option of sending your wines with fake corks to
Brad L i l j e q u i s t to have them re-corked with real corks.

Has anyone tasted the 08, besides Joe D.? I mean, I know we should just buy it on principle, but I can't help but be curious.

It stinks. Otherwise, we would put it all in synthetic cork.

If the wine ends up corked, do I send it back to Brad or to Chambers?

Ho hum, Joe. You are getting soooo predictable.
 
Ian:

The wine is from low yields (under 30 hectolitres/hectares) has higher acidity than last year and is a fruit bomb to my taste. In fact, I think that is why everyone loves the Clos Roche Gamay.

I drank three bottles and three successive nights in Marueil-sur-Cher. On the third night I also had a Gamay from the late 1950s, but I am not certain which year.

At the end of the evening three vignerons and my son had to help me to a car while I had a seizure.

So drinking CRB Gamay leads to brain cancer? Hoo boy, wait 'til that rumor hits teh Interweb. Sales will go through the roof, I predict.

Ever the optimist,

Oh, you've certainly earned it.

Have you thought about setting up a cork-exchange program with Coad?

I already had cancer when I had that seizure.

I got a brain tumor the time Putnam took me on a tour of the abandoned Detroit train station.
