Hmmmmm....it's beginning to look like net.wine should be
relabeled net.beer. Anyway, it's nice to know that others know
about weissbier. If you happen to be in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
(about an hour by train from Munich), stop at Clausing's Posthotel
where the Berliner weiss was originated several hundred years ago.
(Berliner weiss = weissbier + splash of rasperry juice/liquer.....
sound awful, but it's wunderbar)
Anyhow, back to wine. Does anyone have any recent experience with
Simi Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1974? I had expected it to
hold through this decade but it seems like it may already be at or past
its peak now. Also, has anyone sampled Beaulieu V. George LaTour Private
Reserve 1979 which was just released last month?
Also, several people have told me that Washington, D.C., is the
least expensive location in the country to purchase wines, supposedly
because retail owners can purchase wine direct bypassing any wholesalers and
there is no sales tax. If so, does anyone have any suggestions of
Washington wineshops with good selections/good prices?
Thanks in advance.
