Did the Boisson Renard have a fox on the label? If so we've had that too, also at least one Silex, and the Blanc Fume de Pouilly. That last one I found on the wine list at Aquanox in Las Vegas for an unexplainable, given the wine and location, $50. They had three bottles and our party of four drank them all.

Went with Orin Swift Palermo for Turkey day, did not disappoint. Opened a Siduri Russian Riveri for leftovers

Very enjoyable - all honey, citrus and acid

That's astonishing. And yes, the BR had the fox. It was the only DD I ever saw available for sale. The glass of Pur Sang I had cost $75. They had DRC for $425 IIRC as well, which, paradoxically, may have been the better deal.

How was the Carbonnuiex? I have a few bottles of the '05, but have never tasted their wine.

Obviously a good vintage, tannins starting to come around and acidity still alert. Drank another one a few months back which made a bigger impression. Still a lot of life in it

You’re all a bunch of drunks...he tells himself whilst scoffing at the allegedly heavy ABV of such a smooth juice. This is a fun drink. Bold, but terrifyingly smooth down the hatch.
@Beckwith i adore the Palermo. Special place in my heart (liver?), and just a delight to drink.

This is an absolutely stellar value. There is something really special about pinot from Fort Ross/Seaview.

 

[NJE66]

Almost ridiculous high value for this one,

 

[Omega Male]

Ozfanticide. Gave it an hour decant.

 

[jcman311]

From Last Bottle?

 

[Omega Male]

Yup. Must put the rest of the case away.

There are some really good value offers right now -- HiTime has El Nido Clio and WineEx has Beckmen cab.

Have resisted purchases due to impending joblessness but will pick back up after I land something. Had this Waypoint tonight and it was a lot better than the first bottle. Went down waaay too easy.

 

[ericgereghty]

Enjoying the land down under far too much. Fun drank

 

[NJE66]

Worked out fairly

One of the most impressive $25 wines I’ve had in a bit of time - anyone give Sonoma Hillsides a spin?
