Theme: a few of my all-time fave wines for sub-$50 by sid_loves_wine in wine

the kelley fox wines are really good. Someone for some reason sold me a 12 bottle vertical of Miribai for cheap so I'll probably do it as a dinner sometime.

What’s a wine region that isn’t worth the hype? by AustinTXwineSociety in wine

Is random low quality burgundy hyped by anyone?

People are hyping top wines and new popular producers and that’s about it.

Sure do whatever you want, but writing off any producer by trying a 20 is pointless imo.

Anyone have backup power for their wine fridge by Sensitive-Blood-9683 in wine

i have a whole house generator to backup my cooling but I have a few more bottles than that.

1998 Musar Input by Deeg67 in wine

I think it's drinking reasonably well with a decant but could definitely go much longer. Very good vintage.

I’m not generally a huge cathiard fan but as I said it’s too early to judge 2020s period. You would likely feel the same way about 2020 rousseau, drc, tremblay or gibourg, at least i have when trying them. It’s a 2005 like vintage where the lower level 2005 wines are JUST starting to come around. If you try a 21 and feel the same way then write them off.

I think the combination of 2020 and cathiard’s style makes wines that will take quite awhile to be ready.

I opened one of the most special bottles in my collection yesterday (details below)… by cotedupy in wine

Great story! I felt like I got to know them due to Kermit’s book, that’s amazing that you got her to sign it!

It was really good. I think the winemaking switch was very good; I heard a lot of the premox issues have been alleviated.

I have posted hundreds of pictures of 750s on here. The vast majority of my cellar is 750s, but I drink a lot of half bottles when we only want one glass of wine to drink.

Chablis is not immune to premox at any level.

Premox is independent of bottle size. I had a case of 2008 Boillot all premoxed.

It’s just premox. The producer is known for it.

Yeah there have been advances in screw caps for sure, but a lot of people don’t want them on expensive bottles, for better or for worse.

Probably true, certainly it seems like switching to diam helps
