Damn, I was just remembering yesterday my aborted project from last winter of tasting aligots. Go, do the dirty work, Reiner.

Tonight is Root,
so either something awesome to make up for the Rootedness,
or something crummy to not waste something awesome on Rootedness.
Knowing what to do is always a bitch.
A taste of '09 CRB gamay earlier was irresistible. Mike and Anne Dashe's 2001 Todd Bros zin is showing extremely well right now. Nice earthiness, nice balance of fruit and tannin and acid. It's big, but the heat is OK with my burger.
Of course, they would have been incredible on a Protest Day.

I wish this thread were a joke.

Colloquially speaking, I suppose.

Opened a bunch of stuff tonight (Trimbach, Meulenhof, Cornelissan, Truchot, Leroy) & every bottle showed really well. Fuck the biodynamic calendar.

Were you dining alone or with a friend?
All to much talk about Bea. I think people need to start talking about the VA, the brett, the lack of stabiliztion, etc. -- you know, Maureen's rule. They're expensive enough as it is.

i always have a tough time opening truchots knowing there is a fixed amount of them. but they sure are hard to lay off aren't they?
how was it? the '04's i have drank have been great.

I liked it a lot. It needed a good bit of air, and never got the same etheral perfume I get out of the Sorbes, but it was still very good. Darker-toned fruit than I usually get too (except from the '05s).
I agree that every bottle hurts a little bit, but we're going to drink them all up eventually. I just try to make sure there are always good friends around when I do open one.

No wonder you and Jim are friends.

had a bottle of the Sta Chiarra '07 on Monday night; it was great; rich, balanced, just the right (for me anyway) hint of oxidativeness --not all the way into sherry-land.
If i follow this thread correctly, I must have been lucky b/c I opened it at about 8:30 EDT, so the last half hour of the fruit day.
('06 Groffier Sentiers last night was fine too -- still a bit disjointed with oak not fully integrated, but I think most on here would blame Groffier for that and not the BD calendar.)
