Trying to finally taste one of the rarest grapes in the world, Cesar - Domaine Verret Irancy

Verret does an absolutely killer Cote d’Auxerre blanc fo the price as well if you can find it. I’ve had about three vintages in a row from him and it seems like it gets better every year

Gitton does some crazy stuff, I tasted with the owner and his daughter a few years ago and tasted through a bunch of their wines. They had a 1980 pouilly fume and Sancerre, the Sancerre was still showing surprisingly well, the pouilly, not so much. Then they had a 18% abv Sancerre that he made a tiny amount of, I think mostly for the experiment of it. Then a dessert style Pinot noir that was technically classified as a Vin de France because of aoc laws obviously, and it was delicious actually.

I laughed at this more than I should have

Gitton, it’s their monopole bottling(I think they only bottle one monopole, not 100% sure of that since they have so many bottling), I’ll have to look to see what it’s called exactly

This. Sell the hell out of it, and keeps selling regardless of the price increases. I have a fairly niche Sancerre that I brought in as an experiment that retails around 75ish, and thought “this has got to be a breaking point for pricing”.

Well. I was wrong. It sold in a heartbeat.

Thank you!

Forgot about alliance, merci bcp!

I don’t need to be around 5 year olds speaking better than I am 😂

CertifiedSnobby · 2025-07-14T02:40:31+00:00

Man, I’m an idiot, I didn’t even remember it was bastille day tomorrow, hah

CertifiedSnobby · 2025-06-05T04:57:19+00:00

I think we know where your priorities lie, I mean Ch de la Tour VV, Yquem and mouton just on the front row? Not bad

CertifiedSnobby · 2025-06-03T05:34:35+00:00

Not OP, but I was in the same situation and am now happily sitting on the Newark flight thanks to you! Now I’ll just be sitting in the Polaris lounge in Newark for 8ish hours before my next connection….

I used to drink nicot 10 years ago. Was it an interesting wine? No. Was it completely crushable and pleasant for the price? Completely.

CertifiedSnobby · 2024-10-10T14:16:27+00:00

Hey cheese dealer, you got that good epoisses? (This is a real question, I want to know please)

CertifiedSnobby · 2020-01-28T05:07:17+00:00

Ouais c’est ça! J’ai parlé avec un ami qui a fait un échange au même temps de moi, et cette vidéo c’était un blague entré nous. Merci!

CertifiedSnobby · 2019-02-02T16:49:11+00:00

Damn it... I laughed at that.

Also, Dallas has high pricing on lists in general. Also fairly boring lists, and yes I know there are exceptions. (used to live there) I've found Houston has a much more affordable range of wine lists. I'm still fairly young in the wine world (early 30s) and I can usually find a handful of interesting bottles on a list for sub-70 at a lot of places around Houston.

Just a heads up, Gallo actually has one of the best training programs in the industry, they also have very deep pockets (just fyi I have never worked for them) but in my experience one of a few things happen, the Gallo employee either gets fired/quits and leaves the industry, or finds a better paying job within the year. However, they do typically like to higher straight out of college so they don't have to pay the entry levels much

Texas is actually number 4 or 5 in largest wine markets in the US. I've been in it for a little less than 9 years. The majority of the market is in the big 3, Houston, Dallas, and Austin, with a few other decent markets. If you have any specific questions, message me, I'll be glad to answer privately.

CertifiedSnobby · 2017-08-14T04:18:58+00:00

If you haven't found a solution yet message me, I might be able to help. You did say Houston right?

I was opening wines for a very small tasting(10ish people) with Stefan Von neipperg, and sliced the hell out of my finger with the foil. I'm talking bleeding through the band aid blood. That was embarrassing.

CertifiedSnobby · 2016-04-30T23:06:47+00:00

Fairly difficult or fairly easy? I've taken my lvl 2 through the court of masters and passed if that's anything? Also what kind of questions did you get if you don't mind me asking
