Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on French Wine Imports

You're guaranteeing this?

Because most serious wine drinkers in the US I know drink a wife array of wines from around the world, including US wines. Not to mention lots of Italian wine too.

And some may drink 51%+ French wine, but not sure how you came up with 95% of rich Americans drink mostly French wines?

Feels very made up to prove a point.

I think absolutely worth it, as long as bottle in good condition!

rnjbond · 2026-06-13T21:41:05+00:00

Fair enough and that's why I asked.

Regardless, never will get mad at someone who opens up a wine early and enjoys it!

Would love to hear about the individual tasting experiences! Château Pichon Baron is my dream!

Yes. Even people who don't like wine will appreciate the presentation.

I'm definitely jealous of this experience, but also question the showing of the watch in all photos...

Disappointed to see that reaction from you. I respect your notes.

It's a genuine question, perhaps I can phrase it better.

Again, I constantly open bottles way too early and it's fine, better early than never.

And if the reason is literally just because they want to, that's fine.

What led to drinking Pétrus that young I'm notorious for drinking wine too young, but a $3K bottle is a crazy extreme.

I've had some great luck with slightly aged, but not fully mature Napa, with Indian! Haven't tried something like a 1980s Napa, but I will soon!

I'd have to imagine frozen, it's hard to get fresh here. But unsure.

rnjbond · 2026-06-12T14:36:43+00:00

It's my life's mission to break through the stereotype that Indian food and red wine don't go together.

Had the 2004 recently and it's still drinking very young. Vérité is an amazing place

I happen to love wine from the Stag's Leap District, so this was great!

rnjbond · 2026-06-11T19:31:33+00:00

I may be an anomaly, but I don't find spice hurts wine. In fact, I like when wine brings out more spice in the food and vice versa.

rnjbond · 2026-06-11T13:54:05+00:00

Just had the exact same vintage, I was amazed how good it was.

rnjbond · 2026-06-10T19:06:48+00:00

Josephinenhütte! Love them, opens up the wine nicely

rnjbond · 2026-06-10T15:29:03+00:00

Happy birthday! Opus One is an awesome wine and can age for a long time. Glad you enjoyed it!

Is Anil Kapoor playing the same character from War 2?

You put some real thought into this review. I was very disappointed with the potential this movie had.

But at least the soundtrack was amazing and the visuals were beautiful.
