2009 Lapierre Morgon - anyone?

[Scott Kraft]

Feels a lot like wine-drinking gentrification is hitting the Loire. Inevitable?

 

[Brad Kane]

I blame Florida Jim and all his Muscadet talk.

 

[Tom Glasgow]

Now every retailer is hyping the Lapierre and Brun 2009s, just got an email from IWM. Hopefully it's a passing fad.

Selling other peoples' wine since he is unwilling to sell his own.

California is the next big thing, prong boy.
Or haven't you heard?
Best, Jim

Nice.

Don't a lot of you ITBers benefit from rising prices?

 

[Vincent Fritzsche]

Yes, they do help a ton. Nothing like rising prices to cut down on all the hassles of tastings, processing orders, shipping wine and tracking money. I'm thinking of raising prices high enough so no one bothers me at all.

Finally, the big picture that puts the whole conspiracy together.

If only Le Carr were still here to document it all.

Does he know that he's dead or hasn't he been told?

Sorry, Scott. Didn't mean to sound picky. I wonder what he ^does^ drink?

Why not? Are you trying to be special?

 

[Florida Jim]

Judging from the repartee here, we're all a little 'special.'
Best, Jim

The whole thing depresses me. I did have this feeling when we were there this summer of sort of a calm before the storm - like five or ten years from now the homey feeling might be gone. Not that I'm too worried, but still, there was a time that Napa and Chateauneuf were pretty sleepy...I guess I should stop posting. You talk about things long enough and things DO change.

I am surprised by the number of folks I talk to that are "getting into" natural wines. Maybe it's Seattle, but... When James Suckling tweets, maybe we're into a new place.

We may have to take it all to a listserve.

 

[Thor]

Hasn't that already been done?
