Unsulfured and Desulfurized Wine
Wine Guy 23 replied to Wine Guy 23's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
it goes hand in hand with a fluent hand in the beginning making the wine, the proper way, and with out flaw. one should not have to remove a flaw, that another placed i nthe wine. High alcohol=reverse osmosis, dealcoholization--TCA=unhigenic, dirty work areas, or poor harvested cork--High Sulfur= improper measures, or screw cap closures (which are good, but one must know how they are handled).. many facets come into account. with all the advances today, i do not think that wine should follow the role with technolgy, unless it is research for lost DNA of varietal study, soil composition, climate studies, etc.. to be continued -
You will have to forget Tin Fish and go to The Addison at The Grand del Mar

A surprise about Ramsay's, should get one more starsky. And too bad about Fiamma Gramercy is one of best lunches in town, personal thought. Wd-50 is amazing, but guess the service is too quirky, kind of like Alinea; amazing food, and experience, but need a few more Pro's handling the engaging part of the meal

Maybe a trade instead for some Rochiolli?

What Are You Drinking Right Now?
Wine Guy 23 replied to deangold's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
Trying the Entire line up of the Coro Mendocino Winery in Mendocino. Some are fun, and some need work. That is best part about new projects, the ability to improve upon them. -
Sulfur, sulfur, sulfur, I get headaches because of sulfur, does that wine have sulfur in it, red wine has too much sulfur... blah blah blah, i think we all have heard it over and over again. check this out, and have your say , NO MORE SULFUR?
-
other great non-sulfureized wine is by Allemand in Cornas. killer.. .Neyers does an omage to him also in California that is killer too.. a bit off the subject of previous though since niether are part of Dressner wines, rather Roanoke Selctions.

I had the most obscure water one time in France, it was mineral water that was enriched with Magnesium : (>) the most harshly mineral taste you can imagine, and i am a big fan of mineral driven, guess just wine on this mater. and then the most expensive mineral water so far has been New Zealand Rain.. terrific, and really an excellent bottling, with almost a neutral palate, but a slight, ever so slight acid freshness, that went for 4.50 wholesale, equalling over 12 $ after restaurant conversions, and drinking three or four of those 750ML in a night taxes the bill to a high proportion

Who will be the new face to take the place of the great Sabato, and his assistant Michelle? Guess it is the time of the year to be on the move?

WOW!! I had no idea Jon was exiting to a new venture. Guess it pays to listen to gossip. After numerous visits to 2941, from a drive away from the country life of The Inn @ LW, to the time now in the city, each and every one of them being stellar and well worth the trip. I wish Jon the best of luck, and continued success which of course will follow closely in his foot steps. All the best to you Jon.

I think, yes "I think" the biggest over priced item of the evening was your Kistler Pinot. What do you do with all the white wine you have to buy to get the Pinot.
-
WHAT!!! when i was there just two nights ago, he was pouring Pol Roger 98, pretty stellar, a Sorrel Hermitage 'Les Rocoules' 2003 (this bottle alone costs on a list three times as much as the price he is charging for the pairing) and Everest is about a few things, Mature Alsace (at a good price) and Mature Bordeaux ( at a fair price). got to let the grudgy- grudge go. $50 corkage is not bad, considering you go to PerSe or any place in NYC and it is 75$, and the fact that you are bringing in YOUR OWN WINE. Maybe they should just begin to charg you for the table instead like they do in Europe
-
this is so true. best way to get an inexpensive bottle of wine is by buying wines in the 80's point range , rather than the chaptilized, acidified, manipulized, reverse osmosisized, dealcoholized 90-100 point range. where will we be in five to ten years? maybe back to normal. high extraction shiraz is good for one thing,CHECK THIS OUT

andy has a few Gems on the list for sure. Depends on your range of price, there are a few steals in the Grand Cru Burgundy area, with some age that look very tempting. He is pretty reasonable in his pricing, unless it is just some overly popular wine, that needs to be exploited in price just to get people to order something else. Went there for dinner last night and it was KILLER!!! Thanks to Andy and Chase (good luck man in CA), Michael and Eric. Great evening!!

Pinot Noir Grape Has More Genes than Humans
Wine Guy 23 replied to DanCole42's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
one of the greater examples of clonal selection of this great grape is from Papapietro Dijon Clones RRV 2004 bottling. under 200 cases, and rockin. manages to hold balance at 14 % ABV. -
and what ever those little rounds candys are that they hand out
-
and new to come is the GLOW-in- the- CLUB, green glow sake. OOOHHHH, AAAHHH, guess it is a god marketing ploy to the youth of today to enter into something new besides the darn VC yellow crud, and learn alittle after a night of a lot of loss
-
Seems that all those who follow, never tend to lead, no thought of their own, just an opinion of objection. and argument of grounds, but no desire to realize the notion of truity. Joly had a piece yesterday on this subject of optimal condition and no substitutes. do you follow the craze of no personal opinion, 100 point wine drinker seems that wine of the 100 point trend will be the end of all good taste as quick as we are falling behind the race to be original
