Wine Spectator released their top ten wines of 2024. The list seems rather…ordinary. It's a lot of big names that you always hear about.
Whats in your wine cellar?

Don Melchor is #1. Coincidentally, they are a major ad buyer in WS.
I love the Ingelnook 50% off sale they've done the last two years.

From what I hear, I don't think that's much of a coincidence. Found it interesting there wasn't a single Bordeaux in the top 10. There's usually at least one.

That's the joke, kid. They have been in the top 10 multiple times since they started buying ads.
Not one BDX, not one champagne…what's this world coming to?
Faust is a top 10 wine?

While I do like Faust, no it's not. It's not even a good value for the $$$
It is when you pick it up at the Twin $1 sale.
Also, happy Friday.

Good deal
While it might not be as highly regarded as some of these wines, I had a Titus Cab Franc the other day that's was pretty great.

Same winemaker as Chappellet. It should be good stuff.
If you like that, you should try their Petit Verdot.Delliff86 said:

Love Titus cab franc. Not too expensive, either ... around $50+.Delliff86 said:

Are y'all fans of CL butaud?
love the ah-so
Dinner tonight at Le table Pavie in st emilion. I have been on a Rayas kick recently and this little brother was singing tonight.
Dinner in ATL, steakhouse had this priced at retail
So $425?
Close. $492. It was delicious. Last one unfortunately
I am jealous. I love St Emilion! If you get a chance, take a tour of Chateau Gaudet and tell Vincent I say 'hi'.
Edit: Oops, my reply was for WestUAg.

Which steakhouse?
I need another wine gift suggestion, I dont know anything about white wine. What should I get for a white wine drinker? I dont know what varietal they prefer so I am open to anything, but I think I have seen them order Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. I am thinking 2-3 bottles with a budget of $500 - $600. Let me know if you have any recommendations.
Edit: I think one bottle will be champaign. Maybe 2013/2015 Dom for ~$300?

Do they like vintage champagne? To me it's definitely an acquired taste. If not, I'd probably opt for Krug over Dom. Still nice but avoids the damp basement experience you sometimes get in younger vintage champagne.
Burn Cottage (NZ) Pinot in The Maldives at an insane markup. But a great experience.
Gonna need a trip report on this one!
Thanks, this is very helpful.jh0400 said:

This is one of my favorites that I've had as far as champagne goes.

If you're wanting bubbles, I'd suggest grower champagne, aka farmer fizz. You can find some amazing bubbles for half the cost of the big houses. We had a Hugues Godme Reserve Brut Premier Cru last night, and it was spectacular. It's sourced from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, and drinks like a Grand Cru. For $88, it rivals almost anything the big houses are making.
Vincent Jordant is great too,
My wife is in a bubbles club that has a bunch of grower champagne.
