I still think it just wasn't anywhere near as interesting as most of the grower wines, but that's my taste. thanks again-Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-28645103699457735352007-12-30T00:50:00.000-05:002007-12-30T00:50:00.000-05:00'96 Fleury is phenomenal, and I would say still ve...'96 Fleury is phenomenal, and I would say still very young, tight wine. But outrageously good. Not '96 Krug or '96 Salon good, but really good. And yes, Fleryt was the first Champagne grower to go bio - in '89 I believe. <BR/><BR/>Bolli is not owned by LVMH, which owns Moet, Cliquot, Krug, Ruinart. In the realm of the grand marque champagnes, it is a medium sized one, but always very good. I'd rather drink it than some of the smaller house stuff (depending, of course, on the small house). NV Gimonet gets my vote over Bolli....Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068628197191676490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-14100308974184178242007-12-28T22:47:00.000-05:002007-12-28T22:47:00.000-05:00Neil,I went to Yama in Soho.

I think the original Yama @ Irving Place is the best one but I went to Yama Soho because my wife can communicate with the waiters in Chinese. Hope this helps.RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-19419940224320539672007-12-28T15:58:00.000-05:002007-12-28T15:58:00.000-05:00hey andrew - happy new year to you too. what a nic...hey andrew - happy new year to you too. what a nice match, the manciat VV with sashimi. that is something i must try. and at $10 corkage...nice! is that at all 3 of their places, or just at a certain one of them? as for 00 and 01 burgundies, yes those are not considered to be very good years. but there are great wines to be found from those vintages, they are probably drinking well right now, and they represent good value if you can find them, as they are eclipsed by 02 and of course 05. i wouldn't write off the whole vintage - look for producers you like and go for it. <BR/><BR/>hey peter - ditto me on the billiot tip. not sure where i stand on egly yet. it takes me a while with bruisers like that. your depression is my depression, and that's why i've become MUCH more selective, and strayed south to the maconnais lately too. <BR/><BR/>not too serious david, i think it's perfect content-wise. you wanna have an irreverent slogan? that might be i the one. happy new years to you-Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-64538130624265730472007-12-27T22:46:00.000-05:002007-12-27T22:46:00.000-05:00"mcduff...taking a bite out of wine."Hmmm, I kind ..."mcduff...taking a bite out of wine."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, I kind of like it.

The Colin-Deleger is very good (I have a couple of 96s left) but I find that the "this cost 4 times as much so it should be 4 times better" calculus just makes me depressed, especially with Burgundy.<BR/><BR/>Happy new year!peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17189314044617829401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-66176842435937559602007-12-27T11:59:00.000-05:002007-12-27T11:59:00.000-05:00Neil,1st: thanks for pointing out the service leve...Neil,<BR/>1st: thanks for pointing out the service level @ Moores Brothers.<BR/>2nd: Isn't that 2000/2001 in Burgundy are considered generally off years and the wines are best to avoid?<BR/>3rd: I took Manciat to Yama ($10 corkage) and paired it with sashimi it was just wonderful. <BR/><BR/>Wish you and your family a Happy New Year.RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-76672775509102945012007-12-27T11:55:00.000-05:002007-12-27T11:55:00.000-05:00hi david - nice choice for xmas eve. i'm sure it w...hi david - nice choice for xmas eve. i'm sure it was but one of many. how about this for a new catchphrase for your blog:<BR/><BR/>"mcduff...taking a bite out of wine."Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-54787496564544090432007-12-26T14:57:00.000-05:002007-12-26T14:57:00.000-05:00Yup, I've been hearing that one -- Crime Dog -- ev...Yup, I've been hearing that one -- Crime Dog -- ever since I was a wee lad....<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear they took care of you at MBNY, Neil. Here's hoping you find the replacement bottle tastier than sweat. I drank the Diebolt from magnum on Xmas Eve. It was a recently arrived batch, sporting a re-designed label, and showed all of the lemony brightness and fresh, creamy texture that their basic BdB tends to show when young.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.com
