Eldon Gath has come to realize he does not like French or Old world styled wines("frog wines") and has come to prefer wines with more forward and obvious fruit characters. So be it but he has purchased wines over the years on recommendation or from specials that don't fit his new focus. He generously opened many of his Bordeaux for us in order to free his cellar of these beasts. I was thankful to be included in the pour off of these 'frog wines' as I enjoyed many of them and really enjoyed the tasting for the variety it showed. There was one or two I would have suggested Eldon keep though such as the Pavie Macquin.
Thanks again to Eldon. My favs would be the 98 Simard, 96 LaGrange and the 00 Pavillon Rouge
