You should check out the Chard aisle.

I don't drink white wine from America unless it is a New York Riesling so that makes the odds of getting something good much higher.

Been drinking a lot of Morgon again now that the weather is turning. Might be a return to the Summer of Gamay.

Vinfanticide, but my Booker allocation came today and I wanted to try one. Tasty but a little primary as expected. This is their Grenache.

Anyone else grab some of the 2013 Brice Grand Cru Bouzy Rose from Fass?

What is Fass?

 

[Piobaire]

A guy named Lyle Fass has a wine importing company. He's heavy into northern Rhone, Beauj, and German wines.

I had a Chinon last night that had some real fart smells to it. Hydrogen Sulfide. I did the penny technique and it fixed it. This is the first 2018 of this producer that I have had. The 2017s were out of this world. Does this mean that all of the bottles of 2018 will have this defect, or can I expect some good ones? I was going to oder a bunch of it, but I don't know if I should at this point.

Got a delivery today - here’s a sample (others are just more of the same), having the ‘90 Leoville Barton Saturday for my b-day

Just a heads-up, gents. Tensley is having a solid sale. It's 20% off all wines and another 15% off if you also join their wine club, with free shipping on orders over $100. It doesn't look like this is going to be reflected on their web site -- says call (805-688-6761) or email ([email protected]) to order.
