2003 NZ Sauvignon
Heh. Huge Johnson describes it thusly: "Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in drag." Not a bad metaphor, actually. To me, Palliser has a whopping huge whack of tropical fruit in the nose and on the palate...

TN: Barbaresco and corkless Chard (and personal stuff)
Monday was our second wedding anniversary, and it started off with a lot of romance- nothing like spending time in the village justice court with a mediator. Our ex-landlord had refused to return our...

Re: 1997 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Riesling
Hard to tell. Bürklin-Wolf is one of the very best in Pfalz, of course and so is fairly expensive. However, judging from my sources, a bottle of Spätlese from the average year 1997 should have been...

Sweet Sherry and White Port

TN: Gruaud's 2nd, Geezer, DeLoach, and a Lalande.
I've told lots of people I thought the 2000 Haut-Chaigneau, Lalande de Pomerol was a good buy. I haven't had in a couple of months, so I pop one a couple of nights ago, with a beef stew Betsy had left...

Re: Decent Shiraz
I met the winemaker recently while he was on a swing through the US doing tastings for marketing. Nice enough chap. The wine was typical of Australian Shiraz in this price category. Plenty of soft,...

TN Ducru-Beaucaillou 1962.
Many of the 62's were somewhat neglected because they came just after the outstanding years 1959 and 1962. Yet many were of very high quality. For example, M. Broadbent has rated many of the 62's from...

October Lunch Notes
Notes from my monthly business lunch: 1989 "R" - the dry wine from Rieussec, and a bit odd in that it was, according to the person that brought it, primarily Semillon. Normally all of the Semillon...
