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?

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 think i could claim a few bottles (if any could be shipped to japan)......tell the winemakers to just do what they love.
 
We're received a generous offer to buy the whole Strat's Place Lot from Fischer's Discount Liquor Barn in Grand Junction, Colorado.

We'll probably go with this offer. Unfortunately, they do not ship out-of-state.

Consult their web site:

Next year can it be the "Cuve Taliban"?
I thought I had that name registered... BTW, I've just bottled 48 six-packs (one barrel) of a wine named F.S. El Fundamentalista, just for friends. It's sort of a saigne ros, somewhat murky and uncouth, the fruit of our first saigne experiment ever. Home-made labels. There's a little aromatics and some dirt in it, so I hope it deserves its name.

Just be sure to swaddle it in black cloth so that the label isn't visible.

Vinolok!

Happy to deliver, Joe - but only locally. The stuff is, of course, entirely illegal and carries no warning label or any sort of a back label at all... It's our first non-purple wine, too, even though in the Cte de Beaune it would pass for a healthy red.

(Black cloth is out of our budget, BTW - we sell this for 30 euros a six-pack, a fundamentalist price.)

I would just like to inform you that Clos Roche Blanche is now available for the first time in Norway. That means I am now sipping to my first bottle of '08 sauvignon no.2. The cuvees Norvege available here are four times the price of those in the US. It's coming soon to an auction-house near you for ten times the price.
