Some house champagne to start off the night with one of my favorite Chardonnays!

Starting off with some whites

Then on to some red

Beautiful Right Banks gems! Give me Pavie over any of the Left Bank Firsts Growths. What they’ve done over the last 20 with their approach to wine has been amazing. To some polarizing but perfect for my tastes.

Those look familiar!! Did you make the run down to Houston this week? Keep me posted on how they are drinking. I shed a little tear seeing this!

Got everything picked up last week.
Thanks again and know that everything is in good hands!

The wife got an early Christmas present (or a right on time Pandemic present), special delivery from our guy at Les Caves Saint Charles, Guy.

I remember when those wines were affordable. Damn you Robert Parker.

So sell me some wine glasses. The first set we got were ok, nothing fancy. But I have been wanting some new wine glasses and with Christmas coming up ...

Zaltos are really nice but beware they are easily broken!  If you are going on a bender just use some Riedels.

Zaltos are great, and really enhance a wine.  They are more resilient than they look.  I have broken one, but only because I mishandled it.  

For everyday, I use Gabriel Glas, which run about $30/stem.

We've gone to using universal stems, because it's just easier than having separate red and white.  The bowls in Zalto and Gariel Glas are big enough for cabs.

As suggested above, Riedels are always good.

Schott Zwiesel’s are nice for everyday drinking

I have a set of these as well.  They are a good choice and very durable — I have tipped them over on granite with no damage.

Hermitage was singing. The Hirsch was good but not great. Given the vineyard and maker a bit of a disappointment.

About to pop a 2001 Suduiraut.

2001 Suduiraut 👍🏻 ... pretty much any Sauternes from 2001 is going to be great. This was fantastic. 23-C13689-059-B-4707-AD29-7-FEE97-D856-B
I’m holding on to several 2001 d’Yquem which might be the best of all time.

I think I’m going to go pick up these wines today? It’s the 15-30$ range as I’m not that far into my wine drinking to know or taste the differences in them to justify getting into the 30-75$ range. 
 

if y’all have had any of them just let me know your thoughts or if i should take one off the list

That's a really nice SB.  Have you tried the Rochioli?  We went through 3 bottles of it yesterday.

I have not had the Rochioli. Will need to look into that SB. My go to patio pounder is either Galerie or Quivet. Best QPR goes to Galerie.

They are almost as proud of it as Merry Edwards.

Lol. It needed it. Only about 3 hours and drank over 2 hours. Needs another 5 years at least! Beautiful structure. Love the Right Bank

You were drinking some fucking Merlot.
