Dec 2019 - what are you drinking?

I just noticed that none of my co-conspirators posted what we drank last Saturday for a surprise dinner to celebrate a ...<cough>...milestone birthday for KSC02. Eight days later I'm not sure I can remember all of them either

2008 Christian Moreau, Chablis, Vaudesir

2007 JL Chave, Hermitage, Blanc

2014 Henri Prudhon, St-Aubin, Sur le Sentier du Clou, Blanc

1996 Chateau Montus, Madiran, Reserva

2000 Chateau Cos D'Estournal, St. Estephe

2004 Clos St. Jean, CdP, La Combe des Fous

I know I'm forgetting at least 2 bottles because there was a red Burg and a 1982 Bonnezeaux. Perhaps Mimik can fill in the details?

Should also mention that Purple Haze made the long, eventful trek up for this and it's always good to see him.

Was the Timbervine worth the fee?

Was excellent.  It was also 50% off - so instead of $140 it was $70.  Definitely worth it -

Worth the high price?

Not in my book.

2000 Grand Puy Lacoste - at the very front end of it's drinking window. 

2012 Reva Barolo

I was rather doubtful (about the vintage as well as the producer) when I bought it but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.  It's an intense wine with classic rose petal and tar flavours.  Great flavour depth as well as length.

2007 Penfolds Chardonnay Yattarna

Tasted at a recent offline along side of the 2006. Maybe a smidge better than the 2006 although I scored it the same. Tasting note posted on CellarTracker and blogged.

2014 Lioco Pinot Noir La Selva

2017 Sandler Cortada Alta Vineyard Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands - Both very good and paired nicely with Snowy Grouper

2011 Liquid Farm Chardonnay Four

Tasted at a recent offline. Tasting note posted on CellarTracker and blogged.

2010 Max Ferdinand Richter, Riesling, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese

Nice fruit, but needed a little more acidity to be outstanding.

2013 Liquid Farm Chardonnay Four

Tasted at a recent offline. Tasting note posted on CellarTracker and blogged.

At pre-Star Wars party:

2016 Scott Paul Pinot

2014 Château des Fougères Fougères Clos Montesquieu - Graves

1961 Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva

Interesting lineup.  Each wine distinct from the other.  Who is the one born in 1961 in that group?

2008 Christian Moreau, Chablis, Vaudesir

2007 JL Chave, Hermitage, Blanc

2014 Henri Prudhon, St-Aubin, Sur le Sentier du Clou, Blanc

2001 Frescobaldi, BdM, Castelgiocondo Ripe al Convento Riserva

1996 Chateau Montus, Madiran, Reserva

2000 Chateau Cos D'Estournal, St. Estephe

2004 Clos St. Jean, CdP, La Combe des Fous

I know I'm forgetting at least 2 bottles because there was a red Burg and a 1982 Bonnezeaux. Perhaps Mimik can fill in the details?

Should also mention that Purple Haze made the long, eventful trek up for this and it's always good to see him.

 

An epic evening.  Was good to see the Montreal gang after a few years.  I still retain the image of steve8, indolently slouched in his chair surrounded by bottles of almost empty wine, laughing at all the losers who were headed home before the wine was finished!  You sir, are a true animal.    Until next time!

PH, I meant to call you and see if K wanted you to bring his 2002 Dom Warhol label I still have in my cellar. I have had his bottle for many years now. Grrr. 

Sounds like a grand evening.

As it turns out, this would have been in inopportune time to have brought it.  I had a wee bit of an "adventure" at the border this crossing...

Referred to Secondary and hit with the usual 60%+ tax and duty?

Cavity search?

Actually, I got pretty lucky.  I did have to go to have my "declarations confirmed."

They actually "missed" 2 bottles and a couple of other minor items.  They did confiscate an old and cherished butterfly knife that has resided in my center console almost since I've been driving.  I'll miss it.  Otherwise, it certainly could have gone worse.  After a 10+ hour road trip, including some close to white-out conditions in the Adirondacks, I almost had to laugh that I'd gotten so close to my destination and then had to go through that mess.
