I was gonna get a bottle of that 04 Hugel today, a distributor had it on discount. So much for that.

How about doing a vin jaune episode Gary?

Hmmm I was thinking about splurging for a bottle of Beaucastel because I’ve never had it, but for $70? Still not sure. Have you tasted Tablas Creek? Did a search on WLTV and didn’t find anything…

We carry the ‘99 Beaucastel Chateauneuf Du Pape on the reserve list at the Italian restaraunt where I serve. It’s the only French wine we carry. I haven’t been able to sell a bottle yet, but sounds like when I do my guests will be pleased.

Gary,
Very nice EP. Appreciate your comments on the Gaja (i.e., that it may not be a QPR, but is extraordinary and should be sought out). Am a little surprised that you were not more “wow’d” by the Beaucastel. Have to agree with GeneV and Dumbphase that they may not be showing nearly as well as they are, even with some decant time. Then again it certainly is possible WS went a little overboard with their rating too, and the reality is somewhere in between.

Just received the Pecorino Grand Cru cheese today, made possible by the fine folks at WL. MAN, IS THAT GOOD!!!. Cheese and wine are two of the most wonderful creations in the world, and this Pecorino is absolutely wonderful. Cudos GV and the staff. Thanks for sending some my way. You should have more “cheese offerings” to go with all the wine I’ve bought!!!!

I got a chance to taste the 2004 Beaucastel Du Pape Red a few weeks ago, I had no idea it was rated so high. That being said, I love the description and I love Rhone wines. We need an all Rhone special.

Gary, nice oak monster your kids must love it. How about a t-shirt with an animated oak tree pumping a wooden butter churn. Perhaps kinda lookin like he’s pumping something else and of course the old red circle with a slash thru it.
