I believe my email to Adam went something like this:<br /><br />"If you don't get the 95 Noel Verset Cornas, you are an insane person, and I will be the one to call the authorities."<br /><br />He got it, they decanted it, Adam enjoyed glasses of the Foreau Vouvray Brut with appetizers, amd he and his wife loved the Cornas.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-90802724246947935702009-07-10T09:02:10.589-04:002009-07-10T09:02:10.589-04:00Bandol Tempier TourtineBandol Tempier TourtineTWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592548268341500443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-64941849596476414092009-07-10T03:38:04.621-04:002009-07-10T03:38:04.621-04:00Hi, Neil--in town & broke my reclusive streak ...Hi, Neil--in town & broke my reclusive streak meeting up with Nick Gorevic for a great, educational blow-out at Terroir.<br />My geeky curiosity leads me to<br />DOMAINE CAUHAPE ‘Chant Des Vignes’ <br />--just because (any) Jurançon (vinified dry!) is very near the top of 'must taste' list...<br />the '99 CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY from Jean Jaques Confuron whets my appetite, too...viNomadichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871310275756229282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-71939007128660313202009-07-10T00:15:14.940-04:002009-07-10T00:15:14.940-04:00So I'm thinking that your parameters are "...So I'm thinking that your parameters are "what wine at what price", that is, the most special wine at the best price.<br /><br />That's difficult because some wines are good deals but still expensive. Some are expensive compared to US retail but this is a restaurant list. Some are older but not dramatically so. So there is an equation here that has a bunch of unknown variables. Sure that's the game here but I'm just going to say that maybe there were more variables than you thought. <br />I agree the Verset is a strong contender.<br />as is for me the Larmandier-Bernier "Rosé de Saignée. The Solosse isn't that good a deal IMO.<br />Also the '98 Alliet Chinon and for me the F. Cotat Sancerres, especially the rosé.<br />How about the '89 Chateau Puojeaux or Ormes de Pez? A very good year and 20 years old for under 100E? Bordeaux isn't my favorite but a deal is a deal.<br />So I give up, I don't see the clear winner you speak of.nedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070097976314044162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-41047377331599246772009-07-09T23:10:20.353-04:002009-07-09T23:10:20.353-04:00larmandier-bernier would be my guess.larmandier-bernier would be my guess.djpiechotanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-81918036597980202942009-07-09T20:12:45.648-04:002009-07-09T20:12:45.648-04:00I'm not sure what you would pick, but if it we...I'm not sure what you would pick, but if it were MY birthday it would be the Domaine du Cayron in a heartbeat.wineshlubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239331809069269666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-44616159670939288622009-07-09T17:27:37.361-04:002009-07-09T17:27:37.361-04:00Larmandier-Bernier "Rosé de Saignée" -- ...Larmandier-Bernier "Rosé de Saignée" -- my pick based on my gut and your predilections, though there are plenty of great choices there.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-90730486463858518672009-07-09T15:53:46.541-04:002009-07-09T15:53:46.541-04:00The '95 Verset would be my pick.
