can't imagine having my thirst for beaujolais put on some sort of allocation.

can you imagine, "here's your 3 bottles of fleurie and 3 bottles fleurie ct. thanks. see you next year!"

Works for me.
 
Ha!

I just bought the coolest stuff ever from Chambers St., but I am sadistically going to wait until it is all gone before I tell you what it was.

Bwahahahaha!

just because you have no cellar to over stock is no reason to get snarky. Then again you're up awfully late (or early?).

Ah, the delicious non sequitur of 10pm EST.

My cellar would feel quite insulted to be purported not to exist and might have words to that effect, but it is far less snarky than I am.

Then again, it's a passive cellar.

You wouldn't happen to know any sheppards growing grapes at 4000 feet?

I thought you gave up cellaring.
 
Right, but try as I might, the cellar just won't go away. It's funny, like that. Just keeps being there.

In any case, you should all be happy, happy American folk, because there are two places on the face of the Parisian map that carry your vaunted Clos de la Roilette, and they're both on vintage 2007. All y'all need to do is go mug Dougherty or something and you're flush with 2009.
 
My cellar is active, and resents intrusion.

I bet the Couderts are still sore about the whole border dispute.

But for the price of a TGV ticket, winegrrrl, you can go visit the cave of Alain Coudert and buy the wines ex cellar for a third of the price that we're paying, so my tears of sympathy will remain unshed.

And you know, that 2007 is great stuff.
 
My cellar is passive agressive. And I know at least one of the wines Joe picked up at Chambers today. He's right, it's really cool and I can't wait to hear about it.
 
It's really very good. I would say better than anything comparable out of Sancerre that doesn't have 'Cotat' on the label.

No Cowan at CSW unless already sold out. I'll guess Blanchet, but it is(was) a NBI. But I'm not sure SFJoe is playing.

It says "better than anything comparable." It does not say that said wine comes from Sancerre, suggesting SB from somewhere besides Sancerre.

Close, close.

Didn't say SB, did I?

It was an extremely tasty rose of Pinot Noir from Emmerich Knoll, and if I'd ever heard of such a thing existing I'd long ago forgotten it. This was Federspiel (12%, and they don't kid about technical analyses in the Wachau), with delightful acidity and delicious PN character. Tastes like it might age a bit, but my couple of bottles probably won't last out the year. Called Blauer Burgunder on the label, with a Loiben AOC.

Funny to see Knoll's label on a clear bottle.
