Golf lost a good one yesterday.. RIP Rosie.
Privileged to chat with him for 15-20 minutes years ago. Undivided attention to a stranger.
He was everything I expected: cerebral, gregarious, and above all a genuinely good guy who loved the game. We miss you Rosie
Can't say enough great things about @LastBottleWines! Great bottles, biz model, and even better people. Rachel, sarah, and the entire team are awesome. Highly recommended
Inventory issue; able to swap a few back vintage franciacorta satรจn for a couple cรดte des blancs prem crus
plus either a roller coaster or generally cooler summer, then warm n dry conditions before harvest. Definitely benefits from a chill (but that's also my bias w/ light reds).
Heavily extrapolated guess- haven't read any '21 chablis thru beau harvest reports
Finally opened. Actually really impressed. Surprising balance and weight.
Super fresh and floral. Obvious carbonic.
Grape big league chew, banana & clove (which i also associate w/ hefeweizen). Relatively tannic, good acidity and concentration makes me think spring frost;
Last year i went pfalz still meunier and vajra clarรฉ jc. Went well
My fave, safe/obvious, then most underrated tgiving play:
Mosel spรคtlese w/ age
Tavel
Extended lees cru muscadet
Happy belated beaujolais nouveau day!
Looking forward to thanksgiving- the catalina wine mixer of holiday food & wine pairings! So many possibilities. Gotta love it.
Playing it w/ chablis, jura, and sauternes

@LongRunways@LongShortTrader Totally agree with LR custom orthotics. W/out them i'd have to crawl or use a wheelchair after 3 days (found out the hard way)
While most prefer tobacco road, ima tot hill farm guy. Adore that property. It's jimmy v's iconic speech in a golf course: makes you laugh, think, and cry. Full day.
