Nice. 👍

Re: earlier discussion. Just as some dogs resemble their humans, do some wines resemble their makers? I tend to enjoy them more when they do. Any examples, anyone?

I agree with you but in this case the wine so strikingly personifies the man. Lithe and elegant and displaying what I like best about Merlot: the subtle scent of chocolate covered cherries—Swiss, of course. I hope I’m not banned from characterizing one of your wines as resembling you in future. 😃

First, having an idea what one is looking for; the kind of structure, body, aroma, and flavor that one appreciates in like wines. Second, the mentors or contacts to support them. Third, a proven ability to analyze what’s in front of them. Plus, this isn’t his first rodeo. Do you have any insight?

Well done, Olly. How long before the multitudes are erased by AI and left without work. Perhaps we will be given a subsistence stipend, perhaps enough to purchase nutritional tablets and Echezeaux flavored gummies.

I expected nothing less from HRC. Go girl.

For those who don’t know Paolo Basso, he was the winner of world’s best somm in 2013. As you might expect his own wines based on Merlot from Ticino, his home, are perfectly rendered. Savory Merlot to get the juices flowing is just what this boy needs tonight.

There is no poetry in the man. No more than an forgotten figment of HCE’s dream state.

Aha, so it seems.

Hermann Müller-Thurgau had a US Patent for a process to de-alcoholize wine in 1898. patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/a4/d1/fd/4c0...

There should be a law. 😂

No wonder Swiss winemakers are pissed.

It’s really mind boggling the amount of corruption there exists in the world. And in plain sight. Doesn’t matter the country, it’s happening without shame. Oligarchs are a thing and their methods are refined.

Yes. It’s amazing. No one has done anything, including Dem administrations. Now that it’s spread to other jurisdictions, may the others do their part. This is what gives me hope. If it was “just” pedos, I wouldn’t expect any results.

I’m finally beginning to think this Epstein thing is going to blow up. No one knows when, but it’s going to blow. Numerous governments are on the case with, hopefully, more to follow.

Yep!

Ahh, Chalone. Those of us old enough to remember the glory days with Dick Graff rue the day they grew and went public. Great wines, sometimes flawed, but always interesting. Little known the chard finished third in the Judgment of Paris tasting.

Syrah as a base? How’s that gonna work?

Olly mentions clairette de die, otherwise I’m thinking Marsanne and Roussanne which are already part of St. Peray and the rest of the northern Rhône.

Hey, wait a minute. Sparkling Rhône already exists in Saint Péray. Why did the commissioner ignore this fact?

No shit. If you really want to help the industry take off, then abolish the three-tier system. This is the most self-serving pap I’ve heard since this morning.
