Finally found my Champagne groove: Ambonnay & Bouzy. This wasn't quite as good as the Billiot, but for $35 it's pretty rad.

anybody with any experience on this?

Manton and I are blown away by some of the stuff from their website.

Is 2000 grand puy lacoste a buy for 79?

If you like it, yes. Average on WS Pro is $168 (US stores). Low is $98.

definitely but you can't drink it

Definitely IF well stored. That's one of those "too good to be true" prices so be wary unless coming from a friend.


Some 2000's are surprisingly open. The GPL was 5 years ago, but may be shit down now.

I'll post more details when I get them about this.

Interesting Kermit Lynch offering last night. Very plummy and tanic, but great with Steak au poivre (thanks to Iammatt's recipe).

If I am not totally mistaken, the study I was referring to is more recent than the one on Champagne storage. I think one of the last two issues of Vinum had a piece about it in their first few pages.

Ramey was showing nicely, probably could go a couple more years; siduri was nice as always!

My girlfriend got this from some event she worked at. We drank it after work as it was needed in order to deal with the bozos at the condo board meeting:



Then with dinner we had this, which I thought was a great value. It is from the entre-de-mers region. Parker liked it. For $11 I am going to buy up a ton of it.

my lord, my lady

benchmark has some nice prices on their newest email. Picked up two bottles of 2001 clos haut peyraugey for 45 each!

tonight

Bouchard! I'll have their white wine when it gets a little warmer for the last time of the year. Edit: Whoops, we've got the exact same wine. Maybe different vintage, mine is '10.

Edit²: Ok, not the same wine. You've got the Réserve, I've got the La Vingée.
