potpest Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Never really been a lighter red wine fan, had this '17 Foillard Morgon Cote Du Py on Saturday, lit up a Hemingway Masterpiece half way through the bottle. Amazing wine; Going to go deep down the Beaujolais rabbit hole now. 3

Amazing wine; Going to go deep down the Beaujolais rabbit hole now. That's a good producer and appellation. Good Morgon goes about 10 years old before it declines. Clos de la Roilette wines are worth picking up. Incredible buy considering the pedigree. One of France's still value wines.

Would you say Beaujolais is better young or with a few years down, just usually 10 max?Just ordered a couple of Brouilly to try that got good scores:2018 Brouilly La Croix des Rameaux, Jean-Claude Lapalu2019 La Chapelle, Chateau Thivin Cote de Brouilly Cuvee

Château Thivin is a good producer. Domaine Lapierre is another great name to look for. 1

BigGuns Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Started with Don Fulano Fuerte (a rare 100 proof tequila) and then disappointingly switched to La Gritona reposado, which was a let down. 2
Popular Post BrightonCorgi Posted June 10 Popular Post Posted June 10 Went over my cousin's house for a long Sunday lunch. We had a hat trick of stunning wines. Hadn't had a Burgundy this good in a while! Real treat. I decanted the '70 Grahams the night before so it would be hitting on all cylinders the at lunch. The Cab was picture perfect and in a great place. First time with this Burgundy for me. He has a couple of them left. 6

He has a couple of them left. always a wonderful port. never seen the Cab but Remoissnet always had a rep as decent. no idea where in clos V they are situated but it does make a difference. glad the 88 showed well. always liked that vintage though it got dumped on by a lot of people. 1
Boss Hog Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Now this is some seriously good juice. Three bottles will certainly not cut it. Going much deeper on this one. 3
Popular Post Nevrknow Posted June 26 Popular Post Posted June 26 Very smooth, medium bodied. Thrilled I got this from an auction a friend clued me into. Thank you brother! I’m loving this bottle! 7

Boss Hog Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Such a wonderful dram. Price point is definitely hard to beat. 4
