So, what's everyone's prediction of the next vanishing producer you'll feel sorry for not loading up on when you had the chance? (Verset doesn't count, that ship has sailed!)
Puffeney comes to mind. The wines will likely never become expensive trophies, but something will be lost when he stops making wine.

It is truly difficult to believe that I had any influence whatsoever in Truchot's wines becoming more popular. I am not exactly influential. I mean, Maureen, that it isn't exactly as if you have ever listened to me. And, if I can do this much for a winery, I should quit practicing law and become a wine writer/seller/etc.
Truchot's wines became popular because they are good. Let us not forget that John Gilman wrote an extensive article about the wines in issue 2 of his newsletter praising the wines (Maureen, who organized the dinners for the tasting that formed the basis for the articles?) and had been touting the wines for a long time in his Bentley wines tasting notes. And, Maureen, I think everyone in the world knows that you are a big fan of the wines.
And, Truchot's wines became more expensive because they are not being made anymore.
And, I have never purchased them on auction. That must be two other males.

It's all Maureen's fault, with an honorable to Howard Cooper.
why, did Howard also not care for the '03 ?
Truchots 2003 are very good for 2003s. But, they are not as good as his wines from most other vintages. I still am happy to drink them at any time because they still are Truchot, in taste as well as in name.
So, no, I am not as negative on the wines as is Maureen and I own a bunch.

Boy is this revisionist history. Is there anyone on this or any other wine board who does not know that Maureen is a huge Truchot fan.
Maureen's preferences generally are very well known. For example, what is her favorite winery from Alsace? From Gevrey Chambertin?

I've observed your posts in the distant past on lesser boards....which attract a certain type of wine buyer...and thoughht that you greatly underestimated the impact of a positive wine post at the time...it was routine to see highly praised wine disappear from the market in minutes, hours, days...at times...i believe Maureen and myself have been slightly more restrained...:)
I was worried about the Burg series on Berserkers....maybe I'm just paranoid. It's annoying enough to get many of the wines I've been buying for a while....

Trimbach and Bachelet....Of course ;)
I want to say I'm in any type of left coast (preferrably Northwest) tasting of Verset and/or Truchot. I'll have some stuff to contribute.

come to think of it, when I first met John, the third word out his mouth must have been "Truchot". That was in 1993.

Me too (three, four?)
Could bring Verset '98, '99 or '01.
If Slaton is coming I have a '99 Texier Hermitage to bring along as well.
Sadly no Truchot here.
Howard, it's one thing to praise truchot when there are none to buy and another to rave about them continuously before the ebob masses decided they wouldn't be taken seriously as winos unless they were burg geeks and then started parsing the posts by you, chet, alan, and others to find things to buy.
And I didn't blame you for the pricing - or even the buying frenzy. Geez, read what I wrote - just that I tried to dampen your and chet's public (i.e., squires board) raves.
This is my haven so if you're coming here, quit harassing me. Only long-time disorderlies get to do that!!!!

I've got some of the '99 and '00 if it goes down in the PNW.

He's no spring chicken. Try Col Fondo for something similar but not quite the same (thanks to Zul).
The one I miss most is Hans-Leo Christoffel. The wines are not the same, at least not across the range. Once in a while something resonates, as if it was a particularly masterful transcription into woodwind, but there isn't quite the finesse of a string quartet.

i'll host in Portland if we can get enough interest.
i can fill the gaps wrt. vintages...i suspect a couple or PDX wine geeks would be interested as well...

Harassing on Disorderly is, well, disorderly. So go right ahead. Haven is just a mediocre CA merlot.

Having found this place, why would anyone post anywhere else?
