First dinner with wine friends in a year - CdC, Ramonet, Moreau, Truchot(s), Selbach, Schloss Lieser

you could buy Roumier and others for those prices. So I passed.

Live and learn.

I know roumier and I know truchot and you were better off buying the roumier.

Nice work Howard.

Howard,

Way to get back into the game with a big bang! Nicely done.

Well, we were all longtime Truchot lovers and each couple contributed a bottle. What else would we start with after a year of no dinners?

[Howard_Cooper]

Sounds like a great night back tasting again. I’ve been lucky to have a few small ones over the last year but hope to be able to start doing more this summer.

I felt the same about the 07 comtes, so I loaded up on 06 and 08 instead when I found deals. Although I did grab an 07 comtes rose.

The Truchot’s sound amazing although I’m sure I’ll never buy any at the current tariffs. Fun finishing with an old selbach. Had a 96 spatlese that was amazing last summer. Can’t wait for some Old riesling nights, on an ice bucket outside when it warm and less allergies.

German Rieslings are great. Can drink 1990s, can drink 1996s, can drink 2019s. Just pick a good producer and you are good to go.

brilliant way to come out of winebernation, Howard, thanks for the super notes and glad the evening went well. I have a bottle of 06 CDC Rose queued up for when I can do the friends-meet-safely dinner, hopefully in a month or so.

A bientot

Mike

Mike, we will know that the true sign of when life begins to get back to normal will be when “Mike on tour” makes a stop in DC.

God’s Gospel, Howard. I really hope that will happen in 2022.

Good to see you getting back into the mix Howard. Well done.
