Pretty typical Billyburg: hipster indie bands, hipster artist/film school audience, hip location in a former swimming pool in the park. You'll have a blast. Just wear a mohawk and wooden framed glasses.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-33363295332202925642007-07-02T12:36:00.000-04:002007-07-02T12:36:00.000-04:00Neil, there is a concert I am excited about and it...Neil, there is a concert I am excited about and it will be staged there in an abandoned swimming pool...<BR/><BR/>Is this typical Williamsburg fashion?<BR/><BR/>DokMarcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-32386198215232567832007-07-01T10:11:00.000-04:002007-07-01T10:11:00.000-04:00I'd spend that $25 on the 2005.

I can't vouch for the 06, but honestly, If I had a source (and I don't right now) I would buy 3 or 4 05 Silex without hesitation. This will get really good over the next 5 plus years.<BR/><BR/>I know Macarren Park pretty well - its not that big. Why?<BR/><BR/>I agree Steve - I think Breton's wines are kind of overblown. I like many other Loire reds way better. Although the 02 Bourgueil Perrieres was pretty awesome...how was the 04 Alliet VV? I can get it for $25/bottle.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-67296312000331603972007-06-30T10:40:00.000-04:002007-06-30T10:40:00.000-04:00In my experience (about 4 different vintages) Alli...In my experience (about 4 different vintages) Alliet's Vieilles Vignes is a reliably delicious wine. So much so that I've cellared some 2003 and 2005 without even tasting it first. I'd go so far as to say it's a personal favorite where Chinon is concerned (vs., for example, wines from Breton--which always seem to be too tannic for my taste, even when aged--or Joguet). Alliet seems to have a much higher profile in France than here in the U.S. (to the extent that Chinon even has a profile in the U.S.!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-80972673877150110022007-06-29T21:06:00.000-04:002007-06-29T21:06:00.000-04:00Cool!

I like your careful consideration of it and how you demystify it (I always wondered about what silex meant). Anyway, it's $18 here in Quebec and I think both the 2005 and 2006 vintages are available.
