2015 Phelps Insignia
Both decanted 24 hours with my friend on his 60th birthday tonight. Both great and needed the 24 hours. First night out in a couple weeks and wasn't going to let the situation take away enjoying some great wine together. Of course, proper precautions taken
Sitting outside at least six feet apart? No way I'm letting anyone into my house right now. Even my daughter stays outside.

That’s assuming anyone, including your daughter would even want to come over.
1998 Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra
2015 Denis Bachelet Cote de Nuits Villages. Better than I expected. And I’m a huge Bachelet fan. I’d never had as “low” a bottling from him, but while potentially shorter-lived, this is almost the qualitative equal of the Gevrey. 😋😋😋

How is that holding up? I have 1 or 2 remaining. Thanks.

I laughed. I actually do have people who put up with me, but not a lot. However I am friends with all my old girlfriends including my high-school girlfriend, my second high school girlfriend, my college girlfriend, two in between girlfriends, the girlfriend who I was with right before the woman I married, and my ex-wife. And all of them are friends with each other.
sounds like the basis for a sit-com ...do a pilot

We have visited each other in various combinations, including many years when I was still married to my wife. All just as friends--darn.
2017 Domaine Arnoux Pére et Fils Chorey-les-Beaune Les Beaumonts
2015 Venus La Universal, Montsant, Dido (red)
2011 Quinta Do Vallado, Douro, Field Blend Reserva
That was probably my fourth or fifth bottle of the Vallado and I can definitely say I preferred it younger. It is evolving but not for the better imho.

I can only assume that for the relationships to have endured that long you must not talk about film aspect ratios very often.

Tasty Red Burg...
Are you referring to the Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux? If so, that’s a tasty Cab Franc from the Loire region.
And one which is pretty difficult to get, at least up here. Our wine monopoly gets limited quantities and I've been shutout each time I tried to get some. 
FCS I'd be interested to read your opinion of the 2009.
Wound up opening a 2016 San Giusto a Rentennano Riserva Barancole. My perennial favorite Chianti. Did not disappoint. Will be even better in 3 or 4 years. (But it is a little bit brutish and slightly modern.)

They are all very well versed in the subject.
2010 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino, too soon, but life can be too short.

I’m planning to open a 2010 Chateau Montlabert tonight.

Let me know what you think of it. I found 6 bottles of the 1988 in the back corner of my wine cellar as I was packing up for our move. Very little information available on this wine online.
