That, my friend, was a 1999 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses so you recall wrong

PS I almost bought 2 bottles of a 1998 Charles Elzer Ellner Brut Champagne today. You would have been proud.

Let me know how that works for you

And I do mean that sincerely.

How much does it cost (tax incl) in UT gig?

I'm now thankful for our country's dreadful wine pricing, I would be broke if I lived in the US from purchasing wine.

NV Pol Roger
NV Louis Roderer

any experience withthe Passage Rock? It was a Garagiste offer and sounded great, as most of their offers do

Burrowing Owl is one best Cdn wines I've had in sometime, still a bit hot on the finish but richer than most Niagara reds

The '07 merlot is good, but I liked the '07 cab franc even better. Tried them all at a BC tasting a month or so back, and will probably end up buying a couple of each (merlot and cab franc)

Didn't like the syrah

Based upon some pretty strong feedback from steve8 and a great release price here in QC.
I really enjoy quality Portuguese wine.

I am retracting my purchase, the provenance is questionable.
