Lotsa money for those! - but the style was never cheap - for obvious reasons - nothing to do with fashion or demand or Chinese buyers either!

Rather more than OK! I meant Vendage Tardive - it certainly has the richness I associate with late harvest wines. But of course there’s no reason the grapes shouldn’t have been harvested late anyway without going as far as being officially declared a VT - they told me at Ernest Burn that they often wonder if it is worth going through all the paperwork and repeated inspections of the wine’s alcohol and sugar levels that the Alsace wine authorities insist on just so they can slap two extra words on the label.@Marchbanks Glad it was still OK! What do you mean by VT, by the way?
many thanks, i will add him to my list...I've got a customer who is hooching through Bruno Sorg's Sylvaner Vieilles Vignes, a wine I've never sold much of before. Like uncle Marchbanks and one or two others here, most of my currently booming numbers of Sorg customers visit the Domaine regularly, and know the family. The Domaine is tiny, but the wines are brilliant.
My third Jeff Carrel bottle in the last couple of months and the third feeling of vague disappointment. All drinkable, but all three have been overly tannic and rather thin to my taste. At least this one (6.45€ from Calais Vins) wasn’t overoaked like the others were. Perhaps they have all been too young - I hope so, I really don’t want the whole Jeff Carrel thing to be just a marketing triumph, and he does seem to be a fine self-publicist. But IMO you can get better wines cheaper in a French supermarket. Bof.
OK, you grumpy old sod - give us an example!
My pleasure!
I’ll assume that is a rhetorical question!Did you photoshop it ?

I found Mymi, but couldn’t see her opinion without signing in. She looks a jolly soul, though. Perhaps I should introduce myself to her as Marchbanks Thebiliousbeardie.Found it now. Mymi Thesingingsommelier describes it as: 'brilliant ruby red color with nice thick legs.'
You will enjoy it with your famous bavette.
Mymi may well be right - she looks lovely and I’d hate to disagree - but sadly the Biliousbeardie didn’t really get that far (he tastes first and asks questions later). Arse by name and arse by nature was his immediate and final thought. Some has gone in tonight’s pot.Found it now. Mymi Thesingingsommelier describes it as: 'brilliant ruby red color with nice thick legs.'
Me? Twitter? I hope you are joking...Have you introduced yourself yet ? She sounds quite frisky on Twitter...
