Cotes-du-Rhône Villages

[LukkyKnight]

Louis Bernard's '98 had a reputation for being a GREAT wine at a bargain price. The 2000 is better, and still widely sold for not much over $10 a bottle, and arguably the finest offering of all the Cotes-du-Rhône.

Come on, when was the last time I steered you wrong?

The Mad Dog 20/20 did lack the bouquet you promised.

 

[LukkyKnight]

You wingnut! What I said was, "If you're thinking of offering her MD 20/20 I'd say just stick to a bouquet."

i prefer the dogs bollocks red supplied at dave wests eastenders cash and carry outside calais, he also does a decent selection called frogs piss
i think the vino collapso range has been discontinued

Was contemplating a Cotes earlier this evening but opted for a '97 Californian cabarnet instead. Mmm and it is lovely, all tobacco and licorice and blackberry. Mmmm. Check my posts as the evening gets later and watch my spelling deteriorate...

 

[LukkyKnight]

It's not your spelling I plan to watch, but thanks...

the Cotes-du-Rhône.

been there, done that a lot.

 

[peachykeen]

Lukky if you are somehow insinuating that I will become carelessly drunk and lascivious, well...well...







shit, I guess it's possible

 

[LukkyKnight]

I'm insinulating that a bottle of wine makes an excell... and excellif... um... really good lubirc... um... lubricious... um... it's good stuff for getting together, which is why scry knows all about it.

~LOL~

So true, scry. And no wine is truly appreciated while it's still in the bottle.

No totally true. The thrill of the first aroma when opening the crock. The choice of the wine it self, what to serve with it ? Will she like it ? etc

 

[LukkyKnight]

Ah, there's joy in anticipation, but the appreciation is in the participation for me.

And what do you mean, "will she like it?" Knowing her tastes and preferences determines the choice in the first place.

Any way,
femme en essence varie.
How can we take a women taste as granted ?

 

[LukkyKnight]

They do vary, very much so, but... well, I suppose one COULD serve an unappreciated wine, but I can't recall doing so in many years.

Lukky indeed, not that I can recall doing that neither.
I have a 1979 Nuit st George sleeping here.
Do you thing they might appreciate ?

Nuit St George

Can't say I know that one, scry, but I think it's a safe bet that anybody you'd think to offer it to would be equipped to savor it.

I have trouble holding onto wine long enough, I think. With the exception of three very special bottles I only have stuff back to 95 (a damn fine year for Brunellos) and that hasn't even been on sale for but about 2 years now. I am a bit more of a drinker than an acquirer, if you take my meaning.

Garter-belt ?

I do.
It's not a born taste. I drank a lot before that. But anyway Cotes-du-Rhône don't age well so who cares.
