Tasty looking stew.
I'm now on the De Negoce hype train thanks to neufox.

Nope, I'm in Lakewood and have someone different. But its hard for most folks to comprehend how much very good wine gets dumped cuz you start to run out of people to give the open bottles to at the end of the day. Glad you guys get to crush some of those cuz natural has some stuff that's worth drinking for sure.

I bought a lot of good juice in the '90s. With the dearth of dinner parties these days (and so few people who are interested, sadly), and having become mostly a hermit I need to get over the 'saving for a special occasion' thing and guzzle the few hundred bottles that are down there. Now, what to do with the 3 liter '97 Montebello among other things?
I do have a small group of friends who give a shit and we go out to eat. I bring like 6 bottles and have dropped a few servers' jaws. Even there there's less knowledge and interest than there used to be. I've always offered tastes to servers (can ease corkage fee damage). Last guy wouldn't even have a sip (clearly had no idea what was on the table) and there was some cool stuff opened. Oh well.

^^It's coming back, slowly. I try to limit how many newsletters I get each week but one I don't miss is from Domestique in DC. They are certainly a premier shop for modern wine but slowly their focus is turning towards a classic style.
I think a big part of the disinterest is the wine geeks drove prices into the stratosphere. It's a good bit of work to figure out what you like and then find bottles that are affordable. Cellaring can be a tough sell too, when I told my wife how much we were going to spend on a case of wedding year wine to sit on for 10+ years it took her a while to come around.
I've said it here more than once but if I could afford to I would drink Chablis and Champagne all week long. I drink German Riesling because I found there was a real value there but prices have started to creep in the last few years.

I LIKE DINNER PARTIES!
I agree about value in the german rieslings - some really fun $15 bottles in there.

My wife has found a great source for Italian wines and we are living on Amaroni. Early this month we went to Paso Robles and joined 5 wine clubs, so we have a ton of wine in the house right now.

It’s a dangerous habit. Next thing you know you’re renting a wine lockers at your local storage and getting stressed about if you can get your cellar built.
142, 129, and 145 that he has on sale right now are excellent. 145 is substantially better than 129 but 129 is a very very nice week day cab. 142 is the best Malbec I’ve ever had, maybe due to its style, as I’m not a big Malbec fan.
148 Sierra foothills Cab/Syrah blend is a really fantastic wine. Most who’ve had it can’t believe it’s a foothills wine.
67, 91 are really nice too.
