Enough about sports, let’s talk wine. I’m into wine, recently found a passion for burgundy. I have a friend whose very well off, and owns a place in France where he has a small vineyard, mostly with bordeaux varietals, but he recently added Syrah. Did the harvest with him in 2005, blew me away. Tasted some great wines while i was there, and tasted in 2006, at a dinner at his house in Montreal, a 1975 Montrachet, and in the same evening, a 1970 Echezaux(red) the white was a bit tired, but the 75 was still in great shape.

So this is how i got into Burgundian wines and pinots and chardonnays. I just watched the episode of saint-Aubin whites and never actually had a St-aubin before. I also looked at the CRU restaurant episodes and thought they were both excellent. My question is: have you ever tried a Saint-Aubin premier cru En Remilly Hubert Lamy 2002? here in Canada, it’s a bit more expensive. Actually, quite a lot. We have a big, government owned, wine stores group, where every wine passes through. We can’t buy wine anywhere else, except in some very small terroir stores, wich sell only wines from, here, wich i have to admit generally suck badly. The price for the Saint-aubin 2002 is 71$. But a Montrachet or anything close like a Puligny or Chassagne, the cheapest one is 70$ and a bit time producer is anything from 140 to 500$. There’s actually a sale right now on that wine(the st-aubin 02) at 56$ can(43 us!!, yes our dollar is now worth zip!!). Is it worth it? Thanks if you can answer and if not, i know this is mostly a comment page, but what a great discovery your show and podcasts are. Thanks again.
