Varies so much in quality.

If I had unlimited funds I would send D-Lils to Bordeaux for the UGC's. It would provide hours and hours, maybe days of endless entertainment upon his return.
 
I would send Joe Dressner, but there I fear the price will be too high.

Someone was pouring corked Pontet-Canet '05 yesterday in some promotional thing for Vinexpo HK. Smash hit.

I went elsewhere and drank a lovely glass of '06 Bannockburn Chardonnay (remind me to add sugar to all my Chardonnays from now on). The '08 Brokenwood Semillon is too young but good in that idiom. '01 Musar blanc just too funky even for me. '00 Ponsot l'Abeille from split in a curious phase. '03 JJ Confuron 'les vignotes' was slightly prune-y and not attractive.
 
I hear that the smart word is that 1984 has really come around and that the wines are now the equivalent in quality to the 1929s at their best. Anyone else hear that?

Fucking brilliant, Claude. I have 6 '84 Pichon Lalande for sale ....
 
This just in. My sources tell me that Goldman-Sachs is trying to corner the market for forward delivery of 1984 Pichon-Lalande in November 2010, just prior to Christmas.

I think Gilman's extended report in the current issue is sufficiently entertaining.

interesting... that woudn't be, by chance, related to the yields being entirely too high in 2000 ?
