qotd no idea

Loved hearing about the Matassa, gonna have to seek it out now.
I'm also a huge advocate of decanting white wine, definitely one of the top misconceptions I see w some wine drinkers along w confusing fruit w residual sugar, serving temperatures, and smelling the cork to inspect a wine's quality.

    Merry X-mas, Gary,

    QOTD: Different champagnes, but definitely Jacquesson Cuvée 732, Marguet Père & Fils, Egly-Ouriet and a couple more (having some friends over for a champagne dinner). At 24 hours some cheap stuff.

    I don’t think I’ve done Beaujolais and steak before. Morgon and sausages maybe, but that’s it.

    QOD: either Agrapart or Duval-Leroy, but hopefully there will be some food involved too, so we can throw something else nice into the mix as well.

  • luvgrapesqueezings

    Good episode GV. QOTD: I’m not sure yet- maybe I’ll have a sparkler.

    “Drink and or Trade” don’t forget to pay your capital gains on that bottle!

    Just picked up a couple bottles of the Le Frappe Brut to try for New Years.

    Interesting little story – one of the guys on your staff (Brian) called me today to let me know that a bottle of 2000 Massolino Barolo that I had sent to a friend as a late engagement gift in AUGUST was recently returned to your store as undeliverable. Apperently it was held up in DHL lost and found for the last 4 months. Looks like i’ll be drinking that on New Years as well!

    Have a good one.
