Mark, your knuckle rap is merited. The wines in question were:
Cornelissen Munjebel 5 (?) - who knew! Tasty Cornelissen! I think this was a couple of years old; others will fill in. But the wine was "probing," as they say in French of something that does well for itself.
Prompting me to open a munjebel 6 tonight. We'll see...

Unfavorable Day??
According to this it was an unfavorable day:
Biodynamic Calendar
Makes sense, we were in Brooklyn where as was earlier noted, "Everything is backward in Brooklyn, anyway. The streets run down the drain in the other direction."
There was also a Belliviere 2009 Coteaux du Loir Rouge-Gorge showing true to vintage and true to the hard work of the vignerons. It paired exceptionally with the squash blossom appetizer.

The munjebel 6 upon opening and decanting was volatile and very much sour pickle. After 30 minutes, starts to smooth out and develop more spice and complexity. Very interesting.

Well, it's sitting in the decanter. I got cocky after Robert's bottle showed so well. Don't know what I'll do if it turns the corner.
Do let us know. I am planning to serve a mag of it to friends this Saturday.
The Munjebel 6 ended up being a very nice bottle of wine. The sour pickle thing went away, largely replaced by tomato leaf with cherry and strawberry underneath. Not as captivating or delicious as Robert's bottle, but plenty enjoyable. I had it with flying pigs spare ribs and spicy sausage in tomato sauce and I think it would have been happier without the tomato sauce.

Hi Mark,
Which ones do you have? Of the few -- hardly an exhaustive sample -- I've tried, I'm partial to his Pinot Noir.
For those keeping track, I brought a '93 Wirsching JEB Spatlese. Very dry and bigger than the Pichler, which I think I had just before it
Cliff,
I've got the '08 St. Julien PN, which I bought in quantity after being wowed by it at The Ten Bells with Jeff G, SFJoe and the dotster. I also bought his Poulsard because Jean swooned over the '06 Houillon/Overnoy Pupillin that FLJim opened for us in Sonoma. How's that for namedropping.

Mine never turned the corner. Something was just wrong with it, alas. It came in a 750 from Garagiste.

Not bad, not bad! I'm with you in the PN. I've liked the Poulsard and had problems with the Trousseau, at least from the first couple of versions that got imported.

Anyone up for a redo at the Goodfork? Maybe early August.
I am around and would be up for it, for sure.
By the way, how was the Jamek '01 Achleiten GV? I tasted just a sip of it and seemed very tight, but with good promise. Did anybody tate it later?

The '09 Ganevat Poulsard in my house has refermented and is seriously reduced.
Uh-oh. Are those two events somehow related or merely an unfortunate coincidence?

I believe the latter. It seems to be progressive.
The coldest possible storage would be indicated for any bottles of this.
The '09 Ganevat St Julien was delicious this week.
It has a nose that seems older then an '09, smoky, beet root and other earthy smells. In the mouth it was quite pure, red fruited, somewhat tart acidity that settled a bit with air. It's ripe but with electric acidity. Very enjoyable. I would have guessed a mid aged Gevrey.
