Pulling my weight.

It almost makes me think that these wineries are utilizing some kind of marketing ploy.

Nice
Oysters and 1er Cru Chablis

In for a case

Horrible
RIP Framk

The lemon is the part that makes it challenging IMO. Tastes good but can be a wine killer. Especially preserved lemon. Which I love, but makes red wine tough sledding. About the only red wine I can think of that would go are some of the super high acid pinots -- like Teutonic from Oregon, or Enderl...

Thank you Nola and Nate for answering my questions! Now I see why there is talk about having a "strategy" on BD and doing some initial planning. [cheers.gif] And not just wine Nola always puts together a great package of top quality EVOO, Sherry Vinegar, tuna, sardine and other fish tins....

Ditto

Claude told me to begin thinking about the Savigny Village in ‘17. I’m still waiting on the 1ers and GCs.

We have visited a number of times. We love the region and VdN in general.

Still master of my domain.

We are participating, but with an exception for Burgundy Thursday (14 year tradition).

Welcome to the monkey house

For Jews that qualifies as consensus.

shhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Nothing is good in Burgundy under $1000. Don't even bother to look.

I only buy the $1000 St Aubin and Chassagne Rouge, don’t you?

I think global warming will allow lesser sites to be better than they’ve been in the past.

I think this is clearly already happening in places like St. Aubin and possibly in the reds in Chassagne Montrachet that you and I love so much.

Ftw

And @OP, burgundy is underrated.

I have to look; I might one bottle remaining.

I have them but haven’t popped a cork.
I bought a few of the DuPuis chardonnay, mostly based on some fond memories of Copain Brousseau back when Wells still made it. I found it to be drinkable, but maybe more Meursault in style than Chablis.

Thnx

To you Sarah!

No joke this is exactly what our AirBnB host lady said to us in Munich when describing the market down the street. We still joke about it.

Velveta Sherry Vinegar from Nola on Berserker Day ... delish! This Super acidic The Balsamic is pretty good too for the $ You don't find it a bit cheesy? NB - this is not a comment on Nola's excellent product but rather a suggestion to search for Veleta rather than Velveta [cheers.gif] cheesehead

I haven’t noticed Sandlands on the thread yet so I’ll take one for the team today.

AFTER I wash my face.

Other than the Amex Offers (mine is also $20/$200), is there any other discount that can be stacked for existing customers? Is the 20% sale still in effect? I did get 20% on an order placed earlier today. I wasn't sure it applied to "limited time" offers. I think you are correct

Green beans, sweet corn, and strawberries are in season so I’ll use those as sides.

HRH and I “need” two real cups each in the morning so I’ll need a 10 cup model. Our old Cuisinart is still kicking but I’m planning ahead.

Indeed.

Three liters of eiswein.

You have to wonder what they were thinking when they bottled it.
6 gal pot of Creme Brûlée?

No 2020 Scarecrow Although we will be unable to make any 2020 vintage wines, at this time of reflection and gratitude, we do have so much to be thankful for: the absolutely heroic first responders, this amazing community of neighbors and grape growers, the local nonprofits springing into action, an...

That thread is a lot of wading to get the info; this thread will be as well.
@OP, how about editing your first post as names are posted?

I think the 17 vintage is currently shipping.
If you already have the 18s can we be friends?

Great to see everyone.

In for a couple of cases. Cases as in 12 bottle cases? Debating this one. What’s it compare to? Yes, 24 total (12 of each). Just a little over $100 per two pack with case discount. I find Lewelling to be unique—ripe side but dialing back a bit in the last few years. Also the people are wonderful. I...

In please
