  A couple of news items I was pondering today.First, Robert Parker came out with his ratings for the 2009 Bordeaux vintage. Ever the masochist, I decided to go look at some prices in the marketplace after the ratings were released. Some samplings:2009 Chatau Latour                        100 points                  $21,500 a case2009 Chateau Marg... Read More

  If I were anywhere near New York on the 29th I'd be going to this event. Great wine, interesting winemakers, and lots of old posters, art nouveau or otherwise. Why is it I'd rather have one of them on my wall then a Flash banner ad from the Web?Price seems like more than a bargain, and the money goes to charity, too....   ... Here's your chance ...

  The couple we went to Paso with have decided to make a stop in Bordeaux during their winter getaway in Europe. Just for fun, i'm going to price out the trip to see how much it would cost us, but i'm pretty sure there's no way we can go unless I promise to not buy any wine for 6 months or more.Any recommendations for them?I'm going to recommend t...

  Just thought I would share three videos on Bordeaux 2010, from en primeur week. I like how Bill Blatch for example lends a certain realism to the tasting experience, although I did not find the wines THAT difficult to taste. Certainly 2009 was easier to taste en primeur, it was a more immediately flattering tasting experience on the whole. As wa... Read More

  Upon tasting the 2008 Troplong Mondot at the UGC in Los Angeles, and then reading about its history and terroir, I must say i'm a big fan of this winery and of St. Emilion in general. Very good quality and dependable right banker indeed.
