Popular Post Markspring1978 Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2019 Buying liquor in Montana stinks. No selection, (only about 18 people and 480,000 cows in this state). High taxes. My dad took a road trip and picked this up for me in Nevada. @Cayman17 nice to score some of that ‘16 Port. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should move to Canada if you think YOUR taxes are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGC Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Taylor 20 is great. One of the best easy to find 20's out there.Picked it up at Costco. They also had a “special reserve” fancy bottle in a wooden box for slightly more. I passed since I never finish a bottle quickly unless I’m hanging out with other port drinkers. There wasn’t any age statement on the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irratebass Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Local store had a giveaway of some bourbons, but had to have your receipt in by a certain day to be entered. Was looking at some stuff when a guy comes running in and goes "ah, there it is!" grabs it and trucks to the cash register. I look over to see what he was so excited about, then I notice there is only 2 more on the shelf. So I pick it up and look at it, hmmm made by WT, I like WT. I glance at the price, hmm not bad. So I say what the hell. BTW I didn't win the giveaway. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store I bought it from had one bottle left on the shelf. Hopefully it will be there when I go back on Friday. It is an anniversary bottling, and a decent one at that.

Ken Gargett Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 no idea why some of these pics go on their side. this was a bit special - 1960 Noval Nacional under the original family label. and a few other things for a small lunch with a few mates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nice to see an Elio Altare in such exalted company. don't have the notes with me so going off memory for thoughts and vintages - pol roger sir winston 2002 - as good as one could hope. gosset celebris 2004 - fair, thought it would be better. shown up by those around it. philipponnat clos des goisses 'les cintres' 2008 - spectacular. first time any of us had ever seen this. trimbach 'clos st hune' 2012 - as good as any clos st hune i've ever seen. amazing. the next two were blind (but served in the bracket with the clos st hune). trimbach geisberg 2012 - decent. probably would have looked better by itself, rather than being shown up by the clos st hune. rene renou 'Anne' Bonnezeaux 1997 - rich, old, sweet, complex. a few of the guys dismissed it on arrival but they all keot their glasses and finished the lot. next bracket - bouchard meursault geneveries 2005 - opened a bit dull but soon came around and was lovely. bonneau du martray corton charlemagne 2012 - a very good Bonneau but not one of the greats. at least not yet. reds - bouchard 'Le Corton' 2005 - again, very good, but i am never convinced that corton deserves elite grand cru status. may be, with a lot of age. Elio Altare Brunate Barolo 1999 - as good a Barolo as one could ever wish for. amazing. i'd read Altare considered this his best and now see why. Pichon Lalande 1986 - okay but seen better days. latour 2004 - i have mates who are fans of 2004. you could see why from this one but i suspect it is the best of the vintage. Magnum of Yquem 1989 (i won this from a mate in a bet - and yes, he was there to share it). wonderful. a fantastic mature Yquem. quinta do noval nacional 1960 - best of the nacionals i've seen (70 was another fave). i think it is also the oldest. a few from the 80s i think are overrated. okay but nothing close to the rep and price. this one was a beautiful mature port. just so close to perfect. not a bad day.

FatherOfPugs Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Got this from a friend of my mother-in-law yesterday as a house warming gift. I'll never look a gift horse in the mouth. Not my usual for whiskey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
