  Tomorrow is the first Monday of 2011 and my article on Burgundy for France Today is due... I also need to work on a 2009 vintage report for Harpers Wine & Spirit.But allow me just to reflect on a marvelous Chateau Eglise Clinet Pomerol 1989 whose plum and spice richness matched a New Year's Day prime rib of beef perfectly. Or how about a delecta... Read More

  I've been thinking about wine drinking in 2011 for at least the last few months of 2010. By nature, I'm a huge fan of Barolo and Barbaresco (basically anything Nebbiolo) but I find that my desire to drink what I like, limits me in some ways.  There's only so much money to go around, right? I've spent a lot of time drinking through Italy.  I'd sa...

  I've just read an article on this, asking the question ' Is this Spain's Greatest wine?''.There are far wiser people out there to comment and the closest i'll ever get is to read about it.As the article states no wine in the world is worth a price tag of £250+ a bottle or is it?Love to know your comments and has anyone tried it.http://catavino....

  Château Lanbersac Puisseguin St. Emilion 2009

  Snoothrank:

  A merchant at my local store pointed this one out to me. First off 75 year old vines at a $20 price tag, then it's from the famed St. Emillion region of Bordeaux, and it's ready to be drunk right now. 85% merlot and 15% cab franc and silky smooth all the way down. A great everyday value wine from Bordeaux. Read More

  Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut Cava NV

  Snoothrank:

  I have been drinking Freixenet Extra Dry Sparkling Wine (NOT the Brut) for more than 20 years. It is the very best tasting by far in its price range and rivals any other bottle available under $50.00. It is very light and goes with any meal or dessert. I drink it all the time and buy it by the case. I can get it in Virginia for $8 per bottle... Read More

  Dmcker... hope you are reading :-)  And the rest of you as well.LOVE  cab franc... hard to do single varietal, hard to find.  My current favs are Robert Sinskey's Vandal Vineyards CF and the 2006 Napa Stonefly CF. So far, I have tasted a few Chinons- forgive me if I get some of the labels wrong... I am new to the French, having drank CA wine for... Read More

  Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Reserve 2004

  Snoothrank:

  I'm new to Pride Mountain and have become an instant fan. I attended a vertical Cab Reserve tasting covering 1999 to 2004, with a couple of eclectic other Cabs to add interest.Blind tasting can be embarrassing. When you encounter someone who treats the hobby with a little snobishness or arrogance, lure them into tasting blind. We knew that ther... Read More

  Redwood Creek Cab NV

  Snoothrank:

  Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite wine. I hadn't had any in a few years and on a whim, ran out to the local super center on Christmas Eve to pick up a cheap little bottle. I would rather drink Boone's Farm! This stuff is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!! Breathing doesn't help at all, IMO. Straight McCormick's vodka is less harsh. Don't know what the oth... Read More

  My super discounter has these bottles straight from the importer, who seems to be in a bit of trouble.  I am guessing that these lesser (mostly) vintages and the cratering wine market for anything but the latest vintage of the century have left the importer in dire straits.  What say our experts?  Do NG and I build cellars for these French high-...
