TN: Many many wines in Red Hook

Mark, others always like Verget better than I do. The only Verget I;ve really liked was a simple Bourgogne-Chitry. Most of the "better" bottlings see a lot of oak from what I can tell. Combined with '03 heat......But I posted this on Robin's board too, if other attendees have different opinions I'll report back (my neighbors at table felt way I did, we'll see what others thought).

The Pallieres was good, but at $25+ pushing the Gigondas value window (I looked at winesearcher this AM!). '98 Ogier didn't show up at all.

I would love to stop by sometime and share a glass or two. Maybe I'll bring a bottle of E&E Black Pepper Shiraz and couple of others! ;-)

More errata: My error, the Pesquera was the Reserva, not the regular Crianza bottling. I was right, the Menetou-Salon is Pinot Noir. Others like the Breton much more than I did.
