You could have picked elderberry wines and I would be right in there. And Joe, I wish I had done just that with the Muga, and Deetrane is usually reliable for that, but I was babysitting his kids and he wasn't there. The Muga was my reward.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-3735708500870143652007-04-19T21:22:00.000-04:002007-04-19T21:22:00.000-04:00Love the 2001 Muga - you really need to decant tha...Love the 2001 Muga - you really need to decant that, and serve with a steak off the BBQ - heavenly.

(Thanks for asking by the way.)<BR/><BR/>I'm thrilled you will partake!<BR/><BR/>On a related topic, I echo the comments in your last post about the Wine Doctor. Tremendous resource. Consulted it for WBW 33 backgrounder posts that I'm still working on.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-91133835738917246622007-04-19T13:26:00.000-04:002007-04-19T13:26:00.000-04:00See, even when you buy retail you somehow get a de...See, even when you buy retail you somehow get a deal Deetrane. Amazing...<BR/><BR/>And hey Marcus! Long time no talk. Hope your new job is going well. I will definitely be participating and I know that you're right, I do need more wine from south of France in my portfolio. I am psyched to learn by reading everyone's WBW 33 posts. Good topic!Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-69504234318710011982007-04-19T01:16:00.000-04:002007-04-19T01:16:00.000-04:00Nice roundup Neil, but I see I've picked out a the...Nice roundup Neil, but I see I've picked out a theme for WBW 33 just in time -- with all due respect, you need more Languedoc Roussillon in your life!Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-79970716107534083072007-04-18T20:42:00.000-04:002007-04-18T20:42:00.000-04:00Not that I need to have the last word, or anything...Not that I need to have the last word, or anything, but I got the 2001 Muga Reserva for $16.99 less 10% case discount at Sparrow Wine (http://www.sparrowine.com/). This is a great place with two outlets in Hoboken and a great website. Plus, it's tax free if you order from New York and they will do local delivery to Manhattan, which costs $10. My brother in law also have the 2001 Seleccion Especial (sort of a special reserve), and the 2001 Torre Muga. The latter is a blend, and is a monster as well that shouldn't be drunk for at least 5 more years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
