Nice hiatus, there big guy! You're worse than me. My CT indicates I have 57 bottles pending and I haven't been on a buying hiatus. You make me feel good about myself.

I made the offer that if he and I opened it and split it, I would volunteer to not get paid for the hours I worked that day. He declined my offer

Well, to be fair to myself, some of those bottles have been pending since March.

One case of mine is from 4/7. The rest is July to Sept. purchases.

These will be for this weekend when family is in town for Thanksgiving. The Margaux was purchased about 18 years ago by my father so here's hoping it's still good. Plan is to decant it.

gomestar · Oct 6, 2010

nice list - decant the Margaux to remove the sediment, but you won't need to do the 2-3 hours for young red wines like the Chat-du-Pape there.

Do you think the Pape will really need that long to fully open up? I never decant newer wines.

I would myself, 2 hrs or so. It's the newer wines that need aeration to open up, not the older ones. You decant the older ones mostly just for sediment removal.

Opened a bottle of the Coudoulet de Beaucastel. Love this wine. Really yummy. Good QPR for a $28 wine.

07 Loring, Garys' Vineyard. Nice Pinot.
