03-05 Radio Coteau various

that's all I can think of as far as superstars go. and NO none of them are for sale, sorry.

This is my current top wine.
It's not what you'd consider to be a legendary wine - it's not even what you'd consider to be a legendary St Emilion Grand Cru.
But it floats my boat - rammed to the gunwales with red and black fruits with an armada of taste that would have Sir Frances Drake postively welcoming the French with open arms.
Hard to get hold of though because Jean Claude Paret only makes a few thousand bottles a year.
Consider selling your wife to an Arab billionaire for the night as a cheap price to pay for a case.
La Fauconnerie Cuvee Prestige, Montagne St. Emilion - 2003

I think we need to have a WineDo.

I may propose setting this up a couple of days before the Brooklyn Reality Tour. Maybe Thursday June 19, 2008, in New York.

FYI, in the next few days, I'll post a thread in Community regarding the date for the tour. June 21, Saturday.

where there's wine, there's usually me..plus if we do wine i can write the entire trip off :D count me in.

I would be interested as well.

Any suggestion for my birthyear, 1976? I dont think that was a good year anywhere. Maybe d'Yquem is the best bet.

How did you get the 05 Lynch-Bages already? Or is it just on preorder?

I'll have what ddrewboy is having. :)
'98 - set the date sometime in 2018? ;)

Grange Do!

Grange Do!

Sure, 2018 it is. The location will be, of course, SYD. Where else would you drink a great AUS shiraz :)

Until then, I will have to do with St Henri.
