If you would like to introduce them to one of the long lived wines in your cellar like let's say the 1995 Yquem, why not purchase a younger sweet wine like 2002 or 3 Barton & Gustier or a Premier Cru like 2001 Rayne Vigneau, and then let them compare so they learn the palette. That will, as Purple Haze, points out, help them learn a well aged wine as opposed to when getting it first shot first time without gaging it against other wines.

Nice! Love the philosophy. Wait to see how the little stinkers turn out, and plan accordingly. Wink

R'Hawk, what are a few of the ones you have laid down If I can ask?


6 kids:

1995: Krug, Y'quem, Pichon-Lalonde (1 magnum, 1 750) Leoville Las Cases, Lynch Bages, Dom Perignon
1998: Grange, Lafite, Laville Haut Brion, Latour a Pomerol, Montrose, Quilceda Creek, Domaine Charvin CdP, Pegau Cuvee Reservee,
2001: Lafite, Latour, Mouton, Haut Brion, numerous 3rd-5th growth Bdx, Lafaurie Peyraguey, Dead Arm, muliple Napa cabs, Pegau, Beaucastel, Charvin, a few German Rieslings, others.
2003: Cos, Montrose, Calon Segur, Leoville Barton, multiple other good Bdx (including a Magnum of Lagrange), Dead Arm, Pegau, Beaucastel, Charvin, Vieux Telegraphe, Croft Port, Rieussec, others.
2005: Leoville Barton, Branaire Ducru, Lascombes, Malescot St. Exupery, Kirwan, Smith Haut Lafite (750 + Mag), Clos de L'Oratoire, Sociando, Clerc Milon, + other Bdx, Beaucastel, Pegau, Vieux Telegraphe, La Tour Blanche Sauternes, Quilceda Creek, Dead Arm, and a high-quality Napa Cab some friends and I commissioned through CrushPad (with our names on the labels).
2007: ????

Many are just single bottles, but most are multiples. I don't think everything will last to be handed down to the kids, but a fair chunk will make it. And if I drink all the good 95's and 98's, they probably wouldn't be too upset if I just left some 2000 or 2005 Bdx instead.


Adopt me.


Annyong!

Is this why some people are making such a big deal out of immigration?



P.S. When I was 21 in 2001 the three wise men were still Jack, Jim, and Johnny.


IIRC, Indy is from San Diego..where it would seem appropriate that Jose would be one of the three wise men Smile


GO GATORS!!

True that. I didn't realize until later on that Johnny Walker was the third "wise man," for most of the world. In So Cal, and later in college in No Cal, at least with my friends, Mr. Cuervo was always the third.

Johnny does make more sense.
