Has anyone read the back label of Chateau Les Secrets Di Cardinale 2005?
The last paragraph states it was bottled in May 2008! I bought a bottle and wonder if this typeo is on all the bottles. Let me know.

QOTD: Unfortunately, I don’t have any. I was in school when the futures went on sale and couldn’t afford them, even at those low prices. Hopefully I can pick some up now.

I bot the ‘05 Valrose because I loved the ‘00 Valrose, probably going to buy another case, but too many choices!!!

QOTD: I am relatively UNpositioned with regards to 2005 Bordeaux. My strategy? Make good good good friends who are better at planning ahead with wine than I am!

QOTD sub - I am a fan of white Bordeaux. I like to describe it as a beautiful skinny model after she gained some weight. A Sancerre is the model when she has an eating disorder - very lean, crisp and tight. White Bordeaux takes some of the features of this lean person and adds a bit of body!

QOTD - I am not stocked in 2005s. I bought a lot of the 2000 vintage and then I purchased good sized quantities of 2001 and 2002 from the off-vintage (Las Cases, Calon Segur, Comtesse de Lalande, Lynch Bages). Therefore, I knod of got Bored-oh.

I am an American, but I am living in a village in the southern most part of the Cote D’or in Burgundy.

I buy the 2005’s here but I just drink them all. That and in Burgundy it is hard to get much else besides burgundy.(like that is a legitimate complaint!)

Guess where I am from.

Sometimes, you can find a great deal here. Like a 2005 Bordeaux for under $10. It is usually in the Tesoo (like Wal-mart) 2-for-1 bin. All the sales girls here say: strong wine—you like!!!

QOTD: My position on 05 Bordeaux. . .Bummed out because I have finally graduated from the CKC, but by the time I have the disposable income to buy these wines, they will be ridiculously over-priced.

QOTD: I have a small 2005 futures order with WL, that I’ll be picking up there in June or July (as soon as the rest of it comes in). Including that Valrose that you mentioned in the episode.

QOTD: Got a few, just so I could be “in the game”. There are a lot of other exciting opportunities out there with the ‘05 vintage, from areas I tend to enjoy more than Bordeaux.

Good show, GV!
