Wine post

Hey would someone like to start a wine, as in "Red Wine" chat forum? I am a wine drinker and it would be great if anyone out there finds a great year or vineyard that "the trades" have yet to discover!

Other than true French, I have found Trader Joes has a great selection, as they buy out whole vinards that are in trouble....

Would love to hear some feedback, I'm sure there are a lot of closet wine snobs out there, as this forum seems to have all walks of life....

Just a thought,

Regards,

Thought this was about "real wine"

In Vino Veritas...
If there is a demand for a real wine section I will make one.. Unfortunately most of the great uknown wines are found in countries like Spain, Portugal,Chile , Argentina and are never imported into the North American market..
Lets see if there is a demand and I will gladly open one up..

Thanks!!! A million!!! There is so many vinards out there, and we have people from all over the world. It would be great to buy something awesome before the price goes through the roof, or wine spectator rates it! Lol....

Again thanks a million mr. Admin. you guys do a awesome job here

Regards,

I am not an oenophile... however I do occasionally partake of the grape... particularly on holidays ...once I broke a friends newer litre & a half bottle by mistake... I replaced it with something older & smaller ... he was very happy at the exchange

It's amazing that some of those lil bottles can cost more than a case! Thanks for responding

A little wee bottle of icewine from here in S.Ont.Niagara region can cost over 100$..

Ever tried that French desert wine ? A lil bottle you may can get 2 glasses out of depending on the year could run you as much as 500. A bottle..... Oh those wacky French !!!! lol...

I wonder if JCO has tried that particular French desert wine:tehe:

[gulfstream]

True that.... I know what you are saying about all the great Australian , chillian , and south African wine.... It never make it. Fortunately a friend has a import business, and brings a lot of these in the us. It is so hard to market these, unless u spend millions. It really is sad

I love trader joes, they are one of the largest buyers of wine in the world, or so I'm told....

I bet you get some great wine, probably even get to taste futures, or bet on them

No but I did visit Chateau Petrus in Pomerol, just outside of St Emilion in the outskirts of Bordeaux.. Beautiful countryside but that Petrus is overrated.. Chateau Cormeil Figeac is more afordable a 2003 goes for around 35$ A well kept secret and afordable Grand Cru Classé.. Small viniard only 20 acres of vines.. A similar vintage Petrus may set you back close to a grand..

I have family in Europe so we buy wines when the grapes are still on the vines in mid July and begining of August.. Great prices and then they are aged in natural caves for a few years.. A fun hobby where you can make some money if your not an alcoholic..LOL

No you did not go to Petrus!!!!! That and Mouton are my favorite vinards!!!!! I did have a 3000 bottle wine cellar until one of the bands I was managing got there hands on it for a month when I was out of town".... It was left in shambles"..... They ate hamburgers with a 64 rothchilds!!!!!! That was the first time I really wanted to shoot someone. I would not have been so pissed if they had had a great steak....... But McDonald's...... Big mac!!!!!!

Been to St Emilion, Pomerol 3 times, each time I spent 4 days there.. Its changed a lot from my fist visit in 78.. Its now become too commercial..

Moved on to other areas that havent become corrupt..

[gulfstream]

Do you buy futures or get to speculate on what will be a great year.... I have made a great deal of cash on futures..... It's a twisted form of the stock market!!!! To say he least.... Lol

[gulfstream]

We need to talk, I will give you a list, and CC number

[gulfstream]

My friend died who did futures

[gulfstream]

JCO..... You know your s$&!

JCO..... You know your s$&!

I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.. Learning and having fun is the name of the game..
I dont play futures.. I actaly take posesion of cases and cases of wines with a few of my cousins and the are then resold to restaurateurs 4 to 6 years later.. Much safer and better returns than the stock market.. Besides that I dont drink, so there is no shrinkage of the inventory...LOL

[gulfstream]

JCO..... You are killing me!!!! I seem to be the jack of all as well .... lol.... But I love me some great wine.... A great steak, bottle of red, and a Cuban cigar is better than sex any day.... lol

[gulfstream]

JCO you must have a big wine cellar to keep it for years, sounds like you gotta a plan. Please PM me what you have for sell, im trying to restock.....
