Joe, Maybe so if you say so and the oysters are fried.

You could eat them on a newly-acquired bridge.

This would be good with a peanut butter oyster Po Boy

Shooters! With oysters, of course.

Hey, people used to think raw fish was gross.

Yes. I've had most of his lineup in a couple vintages. 08 and 09. Also Pommard 06.

I just find the wines in need of a lot of cellaring. But I mean that in a good way. I like the wines a lot and think they are high quality burgundies.

The 2009s haven't really closed down. That Gevrey is from some pretty old parcels. I think it is a steal, but it does need a good bit of air and cellaring will help.

The Volnay Brouillards 2009 is also very good, not as open as the Chambolle, but really delicious. I hope these stay open for a little while longer.

We get good pricing and the got NC allocation for 2011s, but we didn't get the whole range and didn't get much wine. I think these wines are really undervalued in the market.

Obviously, I'm a big fan.

Since the 2011 pairing was hard for folks to "stomach", here's a more traditional presentation.

Ridge Pagani Ranch Zin '18 -- Dark red, voluptuous, and singing. [E]

Delicious pairing with black eyed peas/cucumber/tomato salad.
