These are to be opened with my Italophile connection, probably as a vertical, and with a rather large spit bucket handy.

Wish us luck!

Bring some olive oil and salt to your next off-line and I recommend NOT seasoning your green salads until after you open your wines. Seriously though, provenance sounds good so your bottles stand a good chance of being drinkable, especially the younger vintages.

Borgogno's wines are all very long-lived. I think you will have a very interesting evening when you decide to open them.

Agreed.
Don't 'know' the '52 vintage for Barolo, however I wouldn't necessarily discount that one too quickly, Dok.
Didn't Eric White open a '45 some months ago that showed beautifully? I think so.

Actually 1952 was a very good vintage for Barolo.

Eric likely opened a 1947.

Ahhhhh...'47. I believe you are correct, wiml. Thanks for the correction.

Only reason I know is I bought 2 bottles from the same source after reading his tasting note.

6x 2001 Weingut Eduard Hauth Kerpen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese

Bought these a few weeks ago and drank one last night. Not the best riesling, but an excellent value @ 4.99/bottle. Went back to the store and bought a full case today and got a 10% discount off the 4.99 price. I think this will go good with the summer heat here and I'm going to enjoy this stuff all summer long. I might even poach some fresh caught trout in it while camping in a few weeks.

The store also has the same wine but its a 2003 auslese for $14.99/bottle. Might pick up a few of these as well.

I saw this deal from Wines Till Sold Out mailer. Didn't bite. Seems like a good price though.

Hope you have been well. I was in a celebratory mood and James Molesworth's review pushed me over the top.

Thirsty Man is correct... where have you been?
