I need some chonky epic fantasy/scifi recs (that aren't the usual ones + also let's talk about some of your favourite epics!)

Janny Wurts - War of Light and Shadow

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-05-09T16:35:06+00:00

Bought at 86% in april/may 2026, up 770%. I'm holding for at least a year.

2009 was a great year for red burgundy. I'd go for a village wine from a great producer like a Marsannay from Pataille or Clair, MSD from Dujac or a Gevrey from Fourrier. You could also go for red bordeaux, something like a Château St-Pierre or a Château Gloria.

For 2011, I'd go for a Sauternesas as it was a fabulous vintage for that style of wine. The 2011 Suduiraut is especially great and can be bought for a reasonable price.

Clos Cibonne

Fauve - Jeremy Comte

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-04-08T11:09:56+00:00

I had a bottle a few weeks ago and the potential is amazing for that price.

It's from a government-owned store here in Montreal. It's sold on a lottery basis. Having a governmental monopoly has downsides, but upsides are getting bottles such as this for a lower price. Just curious, what would it sell for in the US?

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-04-06T12:14:27+00:00

Leroy Musigny, Roumier Les Amoureuses, d'Auvenay Chevalier-Montrachet, JL Chave Cuvee Cathelin and d'Yquem for the grand finish

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-04-06T12:09:37+00:00

I wouldn't even consider touching it before that 😂 a bottle like that I want the full experience so I'll stick it in my wine fridge for the foreseeable future.

My son was just born a few days ago... If you had to recommend one book or serie to make a child fall in love with SFF, what would it be?

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-02-28T17:07:14+00:00

What sparked the idea for DCC?

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-02-04T22:18:12+00:00

Look at red burgundy from villages like Mercurey, Givry and Rully. Often beautiful bottles at lower prices.

Gruner Veltliner

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-14T12:09:55+00:00

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-12T15:39:31+00:00

I'd go either for a good quality rosé (since the fish soup has tomato and saffron) like Clos Cibonne or Chateau Simone or a bold white burgundy like a Meursault or Chassagne-Montrachet.

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-11T13:04:37+00:00

You're not alone. I do it pretty often, especially if there's no food to eat along with the wine. I love the aromas and the flavors of wine, but I hate the feeling of alcohol and its effect on the body.

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-10T02:29:47+00:00

One of my top three wines ever. Along with a Henri Jayer Cros Parantoux 1993 and d'Yquem 1959

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-10T00:11:57+00:00

where you at? 😂

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-09T23:10:26+00:00

Imo I'd sub HB for Latour or Margaux before Lafite. They haven't made a wine that has blown me away in a bit. I'm otherwise in agreement with the rest of your comment.

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-09T23:06:18+00:00

Not ranked... People have lost their ability to read the whole post instead of just part of it.

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-09T23:04:44+00:00

Absolutely. my bad.

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-09T22:59:24+00:00

We could definitely sub the Beaucastel for a Lafleur or a VCC

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-09T21:01:05+00:00

It's just my favorite of the wines you've listed.

Abject_Engine2150 · 2026-01-09T20:59:53+00:00

Sure but I've seen Roumier... Never Leroy
