St Emilion Grand Cru is generally great QPR. Just a bunch to choose from.

We went to hospice de Beaune last weekend and stayed at an air bnb.

We have been in St Emilion all week staying at Hotel de Pavie.

Off to Marrakech tomorrow.

figured you were at Hospice, looks like a good time!

Yes this was my 2nd time. Really cool weekend, lots of good street food and live marching bands in the streets made up of middle aged French people. Pretty cool.

Do any of yall buy en primeur from bdx on a regular basis?

I don't, I usually prefer to taste the wines before I buy. What vintage are you looking at? I was in st emilion last week…24 was a rough vintage, they were not recommending it. 22 was amazing vintage, had a few different bottlings and they were all solid. No word on 23 vintage from anyone we met with .

Good intel. I was looking at left bank 23's Leoville poyferre and pontet canet. Seemed like a mixed bag.

I'll do some more research on the '22 and that may make more sense if it was a good vintage.

As an aside, I don't know if any of y'all use ChatGPT, but it's absolutely incredible at doing this sort of research and summarizing it since it goes and scowers all of the articles and can make broad brush summaries for you.

I have found it fun to give it hypotheticals "build me a purchasing list of old world wines with a $10k budget, 70% to cellar and 30% to drink now. I'd like a mixture of well know brands and more adventurous ones." It's pretty incredible what it will spit out.

How you guys starting the holidays? Diehardpops has us started off with iron horse, MacRostie pinot, and Beaulieu Bordeaux blend.

We have a little cru Beaujolais tomorrow and a couple of Pinots to get us through all the Thanksgiving food!

Cobb 2021 H. Klopp Vineyard Chardonnay tonight. Spectacular and energetic Chardonnay.

We are drinking the nightwing vineyard pinot!

Had a 2010 Araujo Altagracia tonite. Debating between 2005 Futo, 2004 Insignia, or 2009 Sloan for Tday
