I haven't been there in a while, but i always go there immediately upon entering the store, before looking at anything else. and it's because sometimes there are amazing finds like a random 98 Gonon. Lucky you.<br /><br />thanks for the pass Michele, and I promise to open an Italian red tonight with spaghetti and meatballs. <br /><br />wow Asher, a case of 05. that would be fund to taste. i wonder if they are affected by 05-itus, like the rest of France, or was rhone spared this ripe ripe ripe weather?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-39029779521175425472009-12-17T14:36:56.215-05:002009-12-17T14:36:56.215-05:00Sounds like a terrific night of good wine in Brook...Sounds like a terrific night of good wine in Brooklyn Heights. I like Gonon a lot. His wines are great expressions of N. Rhone Syrah. And unlike many wines from Cote Rotie and Hermitage, Gonon is affordable. I'm sitting on a case of his '05s; having only opened a couple of bottles since release, each experience has taught me that these wines need a lot of cellar time.Asherhttp://www.assetlawyer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-61246076468126810442009-12-16T15:41:36.322-05:002009-12-16T15:41:36.322-05:00A spicy red with spicy food deserves a bit of leew...A spicy red with spicy food deserves a bit of leeway, wouldn't you say?michelecollinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-56001359155518161972009-12-15T23:49:00.013-05:002009-12-15T23:49:00.013-05:00Thanks for a great post.

Sorry to hear the '89 was a bust, but on the subject of these wines possessing the potential to age gracefully, I wanted to share that I recently (and miraculously) stumbled across a bottle of '98 Gonon St. Joseph in the "last remaining" bin at Burgundy Wine Company. It was selling for $32. I must say, the decade of bottle age did absolute wonders: this was truly one of the most pure, delicious, and gorgeously evolved bottles I've tasted all year; I could've sworn it was a 1er cru Gevrey-Chambertin, given its seamlessness and focus, except for the fact that it was so classically Northern Rhone at the same time. Just a beautiful showing, one that makes me eager to cellar some of the current vintages now available at retail.Zachary Sussmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840367557964222266noreply@blogger.com
