It's hard to argue with a bottle of '09 Beaujolais.
2009 Domaine "La Garrigue" Cuvee Romaine Cotes du Rhone - another great QPR with nice fruit, structure, chalky tannins but nice mouthfeel!
I'm serving that Sunday at our Superbowl party. Was it ready to go when opened?
I gave this bottle a "Mollydooker" shake to aerate and it opened up nicely almost immediately. I think you could pop and pour this one although it does benefit from a little air time (<30 min).I am really liking the inexpensive 2009 Rhones that I have tried so far better than any other recent vintage.
2007 Fattoria Petrolo Il Torrione Toscana IGT
I think people who are expecting this to age well are going to be disappointed.

Thanks. I was very impressed with all the 2009s we tasted last summer, from the CdRs to the top of the line wines.
Only problem with La Garrigue is we have had a high percentage of bad bottles from them
Sorry to hear that. I have a different CdR plus a couple of whites which should be enough for the people who'll drink wine.

weird, I was going to do the same tonite, but it was my last bottle and was hoping to do a 2000, 03, 05 tasting. I went for a 2007 Renegade Wine Co Columbia Valley Cab instead, mainly because I had nothing from Cahors or Fronsac in my cellar.
It was better a couple of years ago. Not bad, maybe 90 points and starting to decline.quote:Originally posted by Primordealsoup:quote:Originally posted by Gigond Ass:

1995 Leroy Chambertin. While clearly stunning, just entering her drinking window.
This thing called cabin fever is not healthy.

Nice wine! I think the Leroy 1978 Chambertin was my WOTY a few years ago.

In my dreams tonight, I will simply tote your wine bag.

I have not been sick in 17 years (knock on wood) but feel like I'm pushing my luck. Two weeks in Europe, and now a crazy cold week in Dallas may be too much.
I'm off to Southern California for five days next week.

I have been fortunate to evade the "bugs" that my son brings home from preschool, and we are fastidious hand-washers in our home. This time I wasn't so lucky.
You think you have cabin fever.
