    this is a positve, and in some cases now adays a disaster. examples of finesse and feminity are presented, and the clone shows itself. wines from the RRV, under 14 % abv... and then wines above 14 %abv, NOT showing previous mentions. especially when they blend other CRAP in with the Pinot, since when was pinot a blending grape except for in champagne, or cava, or cremant, or cap classique? especially with Zinfandel... yuck!!! sea smoke does the TEN, where they experiment with ten clones of pinot... cool, yet, for some tastes a little BIG, or should we say modern,,, opinions are allowed to be casted, that is why there are clones and we get to see which ones work with which winemakers and sights. changing the world, whether you like it or not,, hope fully for the better

    last night.. Domaine Leroy Le Montrachet 1969,, this was a knock out !!!!!!! blind tasted and thought early mid 70's, so goes to show, has plenty ahead. (actually was the maison wine... white label stuff) either way, dont turn your nose, use it, next to a Mastroberadino Taurasi 1983 (WOWOWOOWOWOOW!!!!!)

    Ruche is a great grape, and very grapey indeed. only problem is that Cantina Sant'Agita is a Co-Op, and that means they produce an overabundance of SWILL. the grape was replanted and cropped with Barbera instead. Try this producer instead: Crivelli, or Tivjin.. both are from castagnole Monferato,, 2005s are smokin, not super complex but real pleasent drinkers

    well Eric Ripert, no matter what, this destination will be worth the go. his famed Le Bernardin of NYC is amazing,a nd one can only imagine that the new venture with his Sous Chef opening it up, will better than a mere second showing. keep the fatih there DR, the city needs outside roles to get some of the old up date with the new, and happening. it should be a complement that NYC wants to come to DC to create new ventures, rather than Vegas, or San Fran, or Chicago, or Canada for that matter. we should supportive, and look forward to all the new that is ahead...

    seems that all the great and ungreat results that some from by the glass items , are always some kind of after thought "is that the right amount of wine" ,, think about its value, and the cost if you were to have 4 glasses of that same wine, and is it worth the amount of the bottle, and do you think it would equal a bottle? at the end of the day, four glasses of wine whether they be divided equally amongst the 750ml, or not, is are you happy with what you were drinking. if it looks skimpy, then say, "can you pour a little more" chances are, very few waiters, captains, somm's. etc will refuse you ,,we are not in the business to argue, or gripe to a guest, that is what happens behind the seens but really.. the whole measured pour thing is great, but where is the personal touch of pouring at the table (club service) and seeing the bottle you are drinking a glass of,, really have to be trusting there aye

    i have been to pearmund too, as well as all the other "good" wineries of virginia. as for saperavi, i have not had the chance to taste one, and yes, i know it is a "varietal" and not a hybrid,, was referencing that i dont hink hybrids should be part of the century club. just a thought.. ever have a saperavi from any of the confederate of independent states ?

    kakheti: varietal is Postup right? i am not sure if hybrid varietals should be included on the Century list, just because a lot of them are infererior.. except for say, seyval blanc, crouchen blanc, nouvelle, and alicante bouschet.. my thought, but for sure like to be provedwrong with an example.. love barboursville though too. their nebbiolo is rockin! as are their viognier.. i use to have a vertical of the octagon back to the first release topresent at The inn @ LW.

  15. Wine Guy 23
    Had an amazing lunch at 2941 today, by myself. Just a little reading and great food!!! Jonathan is an amazing chef, and always seems to amaze. I have been there several times over the years, and each time it just gets better!! Had the 3 course prix fixe menu, Heirloom Tomato salad (oh so fresh) Short Rib on hose made pasta (shere lushous devinity) Banana Crostilliant (awesome!!) all along side a Boureal-Dorleans Vouvray Demi Sec 1965 (WOWOWOWOOWW!!!!!!) nice buy Kathy, this is an amazing wine, an i got to take it home, since of course i couldnt finish it at lunch, but even now it has gotten more interesting. Will be going back very soon to see the greatness of Kathy Morgan's little hidden gems, and Jons taste extraveganzas

    hinting at the problem with trying to learn to taste at a wine store. instead, go to the wine store and buy a wine; red and white, from one country, continent, or region a week, or compare the same varietal from two or threee different places. this will quickly identify structural differences, and then research the areas to find more about its labeling laws and geographical and historical attributes, and little quirky facts. gets expensive, but who said learning was ever free

    cant forget the stardom of Yves Gangloff Condrieu!!

  20. Wine Guy 23
    Dont know that I have had that one, but Avignonesi Vin Santo !!! That I have been wowed by for sure
  21. Wine Guy 23
    For me : 1966 Dom Perignon Oenotheque 1989 Petrus 1989 Chateau Beaucastel Hommage de Perrin 1987 Hill of Grace 2001 Colin Deleger Montrachet each supremely delightful!!! Yet to be wowed by any of the 90's yet, besides maybe a 90 Clos st Hune, or 96 Mouton, or 98 Cheval Blanc

    What do yo uthink the biggest wine ofdecade has been? Does it deserve remeberance of quality assurance, or do you need to get insurance to drink that kind of juice? For me recently I had the chance to taste the most controversial wine of the decade... Chateau Pavie 2003.. one writer raved, the other bawked and denied its acceptance. To whom should I side? Maybe, middle ground and say, maybe in 15 years it will evolve into balance of harmonious goodness? or maybe not... it is the same way (imagining) 1982 was forseen,, it was nearly just as hot, and that is what gave the vintage its great SCORE!!!.. have your say
  23. Wine Guy 23
    thats right. remembering the Sake, and the delicious 95 Cremant de Jura RD.
  24. Wine Guy 23
    I dont think Derek was at KOMI in December to aid you in the dinner of sparkling wines. Check the name of your host. And yes, it was a sparkling sake, called Hou Hou Shu, from Nigita Prefecture (i think that is the prefecture for this one). among many other great items

    purchase stock in VC? nows the time to invest in LVMH it takes nails, or less than nails to pour that "stuff", unless it is KRUG. bc KRUG is KRUG and KRUG has its own zipcode of flavors
