In response to popular Wine Disorder demand, 25 cases of CRB Gamay 2008 have just arrived at Chambers Street with a plain old cork closure. This is the exact same wine that is bottled in synthetic cork.

You asked for it....

Does it specify it as such on the label? That would be neat. Think of the memories!

Imagine the reaction to the posting of a note on these on certain... other... boards.

p.s. Next year can it be the "Cuve Taliban"?
 
Joe, will Clos Roche Blanche be doing special bottling for any of the other wine boards?

This looks like a great, untapped market.
 
Yeah, I don't know about everyone else, but I'd sure like to see a micro-oxed version that had been run through the reverse osmosis machine. Then it would really be something.
 
Sure, that and 200 percent new oak is an obvious one, but what would be unique about the Start's Place bottling? What would it take to appeal to DrVinos readership? And then are the hundreds of wine blogs, what subtle difference in vinification or packaging would be needed to guarantee sales to each of these groups?
 
Kay, if I recall arights, that Nez du Vin kit has a couple hundred scent bottles. Every blogger gets to choose one and add it to his bottles.

Catherine and Didier are hesitant. Last year, they did a special bottling of the Gamay with 3% Cabernet Franc for Strat's Place. The wine arrived, with a special Strat's Place label and Strat's Place had folded into the WLDG. Thusly, no one wanted the wine.

It is still sitting unclaimed in a warehouse.
 
I'm ordering the fake and the regular cork versions so I can complain about the problems of each closure approach.

Although the new oak CRB you opened at my place was really really good.

Personally I bought one fake cork gamay for near term TCA-free drinking and more real corks for longer term riskier aging.

Anyway you can send a case of this to your distributor in Chicago?
