Three Fat Guys

Mommessin

Clos de Tart Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1986

Double decanted for three hours.

In excellent shape, though perhaps a little numb. Beef tomatoes, with a hint of forest floor, and bacon fat. Good length!

Weill a Way Vineyard Exposition Three Syrah 2012

I know these guys are pretty hands off in the winery, but this was a bit to big and bold for my palate. It did open up over the course of the afternoon, but still concentrated and very fruit driven, with little meatiness. Maybe it needs more time? — 9 years ago

Drappier

Champagne Brut Rosé

Drappier NV Brut Rosé Champagne, | 12% | Graceful equipoise is how I might sum this up. Pinot Noir can be so forceful and flexing or when it is just back blended for color it can taste invigorating but something of an imposter. Not this. This is charming at every sip a rosé de saignée of the highest order gently bled from Pinot Noir that has only soaked for a matter of three days –imbuing only the best of the gracious Pinot Noir grown around Urville where Drappier reigns supreme. Some saignée rosés take on too much fruit and baby fat to preserve their inherent elegance. Delicacy and poise prevail in part thanks to fermentation in large vats gravity fed at every step. Aging 2 to 3 years on its lees instead of the legal minimum of 12 months also lends much to this wine –at once vinous and sapid but still ethereal and angelic. Like I said: a non-vintage rosé de saignée of the highest order. — 9 years ago

Sick Syrah. Smoke, black pepper, bacon fat, lovely dark fruit. Perfect medium minus body, only 13.6abv. Would have mistaken it for a St Joseph or Cornas. Beautiful. Well done Porter Creek, well done. @Drew DiMatteo are you familiar with these guys? They're in your future neighborhood! — 9 years ago

@Michael Norwood I've had their Pinot but not the Syrah. As much as I love Northern Rhône it sounds like I should try this Syrah😋👍👍

Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

Rudius

Russian River Valley Syrah 2005

Last of 14 bottles purchased from multiple sources over 7 years, with three from the library release a few years back. Always a favorite, although the early bacon fat signature has dissipated over the years. Still a nice Syrah nose of roasted meat and dark fruit, but finish was a bit thin on this auction bottle. Forgot this was 16.5% ABV, but not throwing off any noticeable heat. — 8 years ago

Hessische Staatsweingüter Kloster Eberbach

Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Riesling Spatlese 1934

#1934 was one of the three best vintages of that decade in #Germany, along with 1937 & 1938.
The
#Staatsweingut #Rheingaus produced in this era were excellent; especially those from the steep, #slate soil sites of the majestic Rüdesheimer Berg.
This is a perfectly balanced wine when it comes to sweetness versus acidity and in no way a big, fat, syrupy overstated example of late-picked
#Riesling, but rather restrained by comparison...a wine one can easily drink more than one glass of--GRANDIOS!!! #klostereberbach #tba
