The Hobbit (film series)
I really liked it. I was concerned going in about whatever they added to stretch this, but so far I'm completely fine with it. I loved the opening backstory and the battle between the dwarves & orcs outside Moria, despite the liberty they took with the Thorin/Azog story. Really liked Richard...- Quatsch

With all the bord talk, I got a bottle - a Bordeaux Superieur, Château Lescalle Cuvée Emmanuel Tessandier 2009. Anybody had this? I ended up delaying drinking that Guillemot Savigny till last night - poured a glass on Sunday and then stuck the cork back in and left it. It was interesting -...- Quatsch

Just popped the cork on this and can't wait to tear into it later. It won the toss-up against a '09 Prudhon St Aubin rouge 1er cru. This will be the first 2010 red burg I've tasted, I think.- Quatsch

Has there really been a Burgundy discussion going on for two pages with no mention of brett? Yikes! I don't mind a decent bit of brett in some wines, but the most common faults I've experienced in red Burgundy are excessive brett and balance issues in a less than stellar year. The oldest red...- Quatsch

Some of the Ridge Zinfandels with 10+ years on them are nice. I had a '02(?) Geyserville a while back that was quite good.- Quatsch

That's a hell of a wine for the price. This along with Jean Paul Brun's Côte de Brouilly and LaPierre and Foillard are great examples of how good a wine Bojo can be. We had a pretty interesting tasting experiment the other night. Playing around with the idea of finishing Chardonnay in tank...- Quatsch

Sorry, could have worded that in a manner that sounded a little more like "hey here's a piece of potentially useful info." I don't have hard info but, my personal observation is that opened red wine will go acetic long before it oxidizes. Last week we were packing and shipping orders for...- Quatsch

The biggest issue in spoilage for red wines isn't oxidation, it's the increase in volatile acidity, which cold storage slows. Leads to vinegar-like tastes.Primarily caused by acetic bacteria.- Quatsch

best of the bigger producers, IMO. A little lean for my tastes, but good. Has a touch of that character in the '96 Clos St Hildaire that I had a few weeks ago that reminded me so much of Chablis - ie chalk soil. Edit: Ooops, this was meant to be a photo of the Billecart-Salmon Brut. Bottle...- Quatsch

Just the Syrah. The last ton of Pinot came in today. It's been very exciting - a big crop of outstanding quality and a near perfect vintage.- Quatsch

Tonight was a blind tasting of two cflights of five Syrahs, all '98 or '99 - 8 Hermitage/Côte Rôtie and two Californians, as it turned out. The Rhônes were from Chave, Jamet, Guigal & Tardieu-Laurent, while the Americans were Dehlinger and Arcadian. The most expensive wines - the two Guigal...- Quatsch

A couple of days ago one of the guys at work pulled a blinder on us that turned out to be a Pinot Noir (that shall remain nameless) that had been one of Wine Spectator's top five wines of the year. Guesses around the table, all from winemakers/winemaking staff: Grenache, Grenache, Zinfandel...- Quatsch

Finally found my Champagne groove: Ambonnay & Bouzy. This wasn't quite as good as the Billiot, but for $35 it's pretty rad.- Quatsch

Nice lineup! Some things from today. Maybe my favorite champagne to date. I think I prefer Blanc de Noirs or Pinot-heavy champagnes. Checking in on this guy - this bottle is nicely integrated. Stems lend an interesting and savory character but it's well balanced. Liked it. Well done.- Quatsch
