  1. You are a stronger man than I am. Have already gone through my ‘22s. Alain Castex, imo. Local wine merchant found a few of these in the back and had to jump on it (‘18 Canta Mañana). Always hard to get and now impossible since he has died. His wines have always blown me away with their energy and this one has not failed. RIP to one of France’s greats, they don’t make them like this anymore.
  2. 👀 ‘21s still around in Austin?
  3. Bad year for Loire, but still powerful. I have read good things about the post-sale wines, mainly the ‘17s. Anyone have experience?
  4. Not blown away, imo. Obviously a very good wine, but seemed kind of limpid. Maybe one day will spring for Silex if I’m able to secure a bottle.
  5. Beautiful opening day. Sad day when Red’s no longer has Anchor.
  6. Lodi, imo. Dude makes a mean paella to go with that as well.
  7. Keeping the natty train rolling this weekend.
  8. Have not seen Eric Pfifferling’s stuff stateside in a long, long time. Juice from an eccentric old man in Tavel, imo. Damn.
  9. Thanks, came through restaurant so was hoping for a deal, but turns out not the case. Agree if I were making such purchases (and had such opportunities!) I’d go with Overnoy, but I’m not. Especially when Labet and Tissot are still like 1/20th the price.
  10. Yeah there aren’t really any casual music spots uptown in that vein. Maybe Bon Temp on Mag or Chloe/columns on St Charles? WWOZ Livewire is the central repository for all music bookings in the city. Check that out.
  11. Anyone ever able to try Domaine de Miroirs? Have access to some ‘13 and ‘14s that came into town. Pricing is beyond absurd for Jura but they are on my bucket list and I’ve never seen them in the wild…
  12. If you’re going up to Ridge, Unti is a good property to stop by on the way.
  13. Importer/distributor are for me the biggest proxy for quality if I don’t know the producer.
  14. France, and maybe some Italy, imo.
  15. It’s driven mainly by natives leaving due to housing crisis and lack of job opportunities that can afford said housing crisis.
  16. Who is distributing her stuff in Texas? I almost never even see it in the Bay.
