Indulgence of the Night, New Year's Eve Edition: 12/31/06 - 1/7/07

[Tinzien]

If I ever had to give up eating meat, I'd be eating a lot of those. Some mushrooms have the texture of a nice piece of steak.

+66 !

I think that the early '90s were a time where unfashionable vintages of the
'80s could be picked up for a song (The Parker effect?)

I bought Chateau Montrose '84 from a merchant near the Canal Jean Co. in NYC for $8 a bottle in the summer of '91

Incredible value

Some producers are famous for making good wine in terrible years, and Montrose would be near the very top of that list. They hardly ever disappoint, and their '90 was a legend.
