ummm, where motherfucker? 

very, very nice.  1990 vintage was pretty legendary in an otherwise pedestrian year for burgundy overall.  la tache especially supposed to be above and beyond.  any reviews between the four vines?  supposed to be some notes of mint hidden in all of them but especially the richebourg.

This happened in Dallas. I will pull all of my notes together and make a post.

So private dinner Thursday night in Aspen with some customers was a nice treat . More great wine. The theme was Wines That Inspired You and was hosted by Charles Bieler and Joel Gott. Joel also brought a few wines from his cellar. Mezcal was for dessert.

That Trevallon was whole cluster Cab with Syrah and big. The Insignia was classic old school Napa Cab.

Yesterday was Fried Chicken and Champagne lunch.

About the Building Blocks Cab: Story is that Joey Wagner volunteered to chair the charity event for his kids school. Then the next day realized he made a mistake. So he called Dave Phinney and Joel Gott (their kids go to same school ) and tried to rope them into helping. After a couple of weeks of floundering to get things going, they agreed to hire an Event Coordinator to handle it. She knocked it out of the park and they decided to do something fun for the auction. So they bottled 10 case of 2010 mags of Building Blocks Cab, which is 1/3 Caymus Special Select, 1/3 Pappillion, and 1/3 Gott Napa Cab.

How was the Trevallon?  I load up on that in London for about $25-$35 per bottle (have several cases stored there) but just saw it in Houston for $75/bottle.  It, and Mas de Daumas Gassac have always been amazing at that price point.

I believe gamay is allowed as well, but I don't know if anyone is actually bottling one.  Vatan used to make a great pinot, which is pretty much impossible to find.  Vacheron makes a pretty good one, and while not super easy to find, it's out there.

Definitely some superstars in that lineup. How did the 75s hold up against the Margaux?
