Tonight we visit Burgundy to pair this with my favorite Burgundian dish, Chicken Gaston Gerard.

Happy Saturday.




I have to say, this is one of my favorite Cabs. So rich and full. BlackBerry, espresso, spice. Amazing

Here's one in Lisboa. Incredibly oaky and smoke and complex and full bodied. Drank like a scotch in some ways. A lot of times I find the heavier oak to be overwhelming and artificial so but damn this one was quite enjoyable.

Mourvedre is one of those grapes where if you give it some time, some of those tertiary flavors like iodine and grilled meat start to show with the dark fruits and it can be quite interesting.

My opinion is Maya, but there were dissenting views and it was a taste by taste battle. Food also was a big reason why it went back & forth.

IMO, Maya is the best value out there. But, that's one dog's opinion

Last comment - we are efforting to do a steel cage death match with 2000 Latour, 2000 Lafite, and 2001 or 2002 Harlan. Will let u know if we pull it together.

At that level its blond vs brunette. Personal stylistic preference is the primary factor.

My goodness. What a nice night! In situations like that, it's hard to pick a winner.

Dude. We should do a first growth dinner at some point. We'll pick a vintage and everyone brings a different bottle so we can try them all at one sitting. Find a reason to come to Houston (fly in for a game) and we can get something going.

Tonight we visit the south of France. This one is taking a while to open up. I should have bought a second to revisit at some point in the future.

We should do a 2000 Bordeaux dinner. See how bottles are after 25 years!

Do you drink many Jadot premier cru burgundies? I hear mixed things about them but don't have much experience.

I find the premier crus from Jadot to be hit or miss, most of the grand crus are pretty solid. Think of jadot as the Robert Mondavi of burgundy….lots of different wines produced. I use cellar tracker as a guide for tasting notes, I find it to be more collectors doing reviews as opposed to grocery store buyers.

That being said, I have had the jadot in the pic above, very solid bottle of wine.

I wouldn't characterize Jadot as hit or miss. IMO, that's just how burgundy is. I'm amazed at the amount of variation there can be in wines that are made from the same varietal in the same general area. That and the way they evolve over time in bottle makes it really fun if you like to try new things, because it's unlikely you'll ever have the same wine experience twice.

Burgundy pioneered multi - clonal blending. Would be expected for them to vary.

This was perfect for Friday Steaknight. Fully resolved. Just the right amount of BDX funk. And not very expensive.

Drinks really well young with food. It's not the biggest TRB wine, which I kind of like. If there's such a thing as a value TRB wine, this is it.

A friend brought a 1996 Chave Hermitage Blanc to the wine bar last night. Holy balls.

Moderate celebration today.

Should I go all in and open the 2013 Scarecrow?
Or maybe 2020 The Mascot?
Otherwise it will be something from Rivers Marie.

I only have one MacDonald left so I will save that.
