But I’ve been quietly drinking a lot of Burgundy lately. Tonight’s enjoyment with Sunday’s favourite homemade roast chicken. Have a great week everyone. ...
Wow I am envious of the wonderful wines you enjoy, and not store as “investments” Yes that is the way to life. To truly use the luxury item to it’s intended purpose.
I’ve been searching for this wine for 2 years. Coincidentally, I was with my buddy at the wine shop yesterday and missed it, but all of a sudden, he asked me what this bottle is, out of the hundreds of bottles there. Sometimes coincidence is strange. I to...
Nose of cherries, minerality and some subtle wood notes. The middle palate is very nice, but the length on the aftertaste is dominated by red fruit. More thick red fruit and dryness and less acidity and balance than I would have expected from the nose. Sl...

Don’t be embarrassed. The first 3 bottles of Cros Parentoux, a vineyard that Henri Jayer basically bequeathed to the brothers, that I had were unshared with anyone-including my wife! Heaven on earth. By the way:this was the early 2000s and they were 95s. ...
But I suppose that can be said for a lot these days. I’ve been buying 2018 and 2019 to cellar and wait and decent but not superstar older vintages to enjoy and learn what I like. It’s a re-education period for me.
Gone are the days when Tignanello,Solaia and Ornellaia were reasonable ,but expensive as they are today they are still reasonably affordable,comparatively,some of sure for how much longer are some good buys in Argentinian and Chilean wines,relative to t...
