Burgundy, Burgundy, and nothing but Burgundy
So has anyone picked up or drank any good burgundy’s lately?
I did last night at the burgundy wine tasting at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant in San Francisco. Debbie Zachareas, a friend of mine, arranged for Suzanne Chambers a burgundy importer to present some of the wines from her portfolio. We were treated to a couple of Grand Cru's and a couple of Premier Cru's. Needless to say they were wonderful and Suzanne was both charming and knowledgeable. As a result, I picked up a mixed case of 2008 Domaine Michel Gros, Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc (everyday wine), 2008 Domaine Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru’s, 2009 Domaine Michel Gros, Vosne Romanee, Clos des Reas 1er Cru. To bad I have to wait another 5+ years to fully enjoy them. So if you’ve had some good burgundy’s let’s hear about them.

I have a bottle of 12 year old Macallan that's just about empty and will need to replace it with something soon...
Not much of a Burgundy drinker. Although I did just pick up a bottle of Cupcake Cabernet this past week-end. I hope it's good. |

Down to five (5) bottles of Burgundy left in the cellar (3 Bordeaux). Thankfully, will be spending the third week of May in Beaune to restock. Do love our restocking trips.

Great stuff, I love Burgundies and there are some great 2009s available. 2009 was an epic year, if you like Burgundies buy what you can.
I was lucky enough to live in Beaune for three years in my 20s, great little town where the passion for wine is remarkable. Frustrating thing is I realize I will never eat and drink as well as I did when I was 20. Oh well.
