Rex Goliath Pinot Noir

Hi Ed, I guess I'm the one who started the thread, and it was only a fluke. My favorite liquor store recently published its fall sale catalog. I perused, picked out some wines, and then gave the catalog to my wife. She spotted the 47 Pound Rooster and suggested we try some. We did, posted a favorable amateur TN to AFW, and went back the next day to purchase more bottles. This is one of the wines we'll be serving at Thanksgiving. Glad you enjoy it!

BTW - here's the web site if you're interested.

And, now for the rest of the story. My local wine emporium is having Rex Goliath (all types) on sale this week for $4.99/bottle. I see several cases in my future.

Hope you bought a truckload! I have enough to last until "the cows come home" or "the chickens come home to roost", hopefully these events won't occur in my yard. :-)

Ok Dick and you other "Rooster" fans are ticking me off and make my mouth drool. I can't get that stuff in Canada ;-(

Ok. I'll trade you two ? for one Goliath.

Hey Larry, It's good, but I don't know if it's that good! I'd love to ship you a bottle, but I don't know if I would get into trouble with the FBI, USPS, or RCMP. Maybe I could ship it as a 750ML bottle of ... perfume? Let me check on this (seriously!).

Well, I was waiting for the proverbial "offer you can't refuse..."

He suggested "two ? for one Goliath." so I was thinking in terms of maybe a Rochioli PN, or a Turley Zin, or maybe a first growth Bdx. Given the right offer, running a risk with the FBI, USPS or even Dudley DoRight of the RCMP, would be minor. I'm thinking the shipment might go as "computer software" based on the origin through Usenet.

Now Ed is my kinda guy.

But it probably would be a tricky thing to send here. A 5.99 bottle might not be worth life in prison though ;-) just to be some guys wife and not have any wine at all.

I grew up in Chicago--not the suburbs, the city. I knows about dem offers. And, hey, if you're connected, youse don't gotta worry about dem short terms in da joint....nobuddy gonna mess wid'chu.

Seriously, though, the Rex Rooster is amazing in the PN iteration. I'm going to pull a cork on the Merlot tonight with a bit of pasta. Will report later.

Hi again Ed, I was born in Chicago, but we didn't do dems and that stuff. My folks were Swedish. Moved to Minnesota when I was a child, but I still have vivid memories (and 8mm film) of Chicago landmarks that probably aren't there anymore.

Looking forward to your TNs on the 47 Pound Merlot.
