Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny Clos de la Mouchere

First to recommend

Description

i opened this wine last night. it was so vibrant, minerally, and intense. mouth coating and painfully good... never had such an intense white burgundy that packed so much into every sip. great bottle of juice.... (via vinsrare.com)

Mugnier NSG Clos de la Marechale - $76.99 : Vins Rare, The finest selection of rare wines.

First to recommend

Description

well, i have yet to taste this wine. but this producer - frederic mugnier - appears to be spot on for 2005 - the next GREAT vintage in red burgundy. his 2005 musigny sells for well over $1000/bottle. this wine at around $80 should be delicious.

okay, update - this wine is great, its has the density/animale quality of a nuits st george with the delicate winemaking touch of mugnier, great wine, and one that i now have a bunch of in my cellar.... (via vinsrare.com)

Schott Zwiesel Enoteca Wine Glass Stemware

First to recommend

Description

everyone has heard the problem with lead in crystal (u haven't heard?? do a little research...) schott zwiesel uses titanium instead of lead. which makes for stemware that is practically indestructible... personally, i like the tritan series for everyday drinking (under $10)... but i love the enoteca champagne flutes (about $20... get the ones with the bigger bulb).... great stemware...

2005 Bouchard Volnay Caillerets - Cuvee Carnot

First to recommend

Description

okay, if you are a beginning wine enthusiast, go out and buy this bottle and put it away. better yet buy 4 and put them away. at some point you will no longer be a beginning wine enthusiast... at that point you will look in your cellar, see this wine, and thank me.

if you never progress past a beginning wine enthusiast, you will turn around and sell this wine for more than you paid. and again you will thank me....

if you are no longer a beginning wine enthusiast, then you already have this wine in your cellar, and i have no idea why you are reading this now!

Rocca, Albino Barbaresco Brich Ronchi

First to recommend

Description

2004 supposedly is a better vintage than any of the great Piedmonte run from 1996-2001. And this wine proves it! A massive, dense wine that remains light on its feet. Rose petal, tar... all of the classic nebbiolo aromas framed by sweet oak.

For those of you who have tasted a Barolo or Barbaresco, I can not recommend this wine highly enough. You will understand why it is the wine for kings... (via vinsrare.com)
