5. Yquem, top TBA, etc.

Digestif—Maybe an old vintage Port or three


*** Feedback/Request Solicitation *** ... I can bring one or more of these...

Here are some current thoughts/options...

1929 SIVIR Banyuls Grand Cru
1947 Domaine de L'Arche Coteaux du Layon
1950 Château Rombeau Rivesaltes
1963 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage
1969 E & M Müller Gewürztraminer Beerenauslese Privat
1977 Graham Porto Vintage
1977 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage
1983 Château d'Yquem


I'm fine with requests and able to cover dessert wines across multiple nights if needed

Status: offline 		Sorry that I have been radio silent for a while, but life and work got in the way of my wine obsession. I came to my senses and realized the Chas VIII was sneaking up on me. I decided that I needed to get a few declarations out there to start filling in some gaps in our line up.
Champagnes - 2X 750 Dom 90 and 2X 750 Cristal "85 It's up to you which night we drink them. Bonus bottles also
Burgundy Thursday- 2X 2014 Coche-Dury Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères, I'm still deciding on the red but fear not😊, it will be good
Italian- truly the weakest part of my cellar but I'm shopping.
Circa- ding ding ding. Now you're in my wheelhouse- 1X 1.5 Roulot Corton Charlemagne GC if that can slide by the Corton ban) 2X 750 Rayas '96 , I can do either right or left bank bordeaux whichever you need (or both) 2X Gruaud Larose '82 or '90 Montose, 750 of d'Yquem 1961.
Unfortunately, I have to fly out Sunday morning and won't make the festivities.
More declarations to come. Ready for a typical Charleston extravaganza!

THURSDAY—I have spoken with Charlie, at Red Drum. Next week, when HRH and I return to SC, I’ll take our list of wines, and maybe a special bottle, to the restaurant for a sit-down with him and chef Ben. As soon as they out together a menu and a cost, I’ll post/contact everyone.
FRIDAY—My menu is locked; it is pretty typical S1 smarta$$. We will gather at our crappy condo clubhouse (ample seating, and a useable kitchen). I’ll keep a list of expenses and divide it by the number of attendees. Folks can VM me the $.
SATURDAY—I talked to Michael today, and sent our list of wines. I assume, like in previous years, He will ask everyone to call him and prepay the meal. If we get a chance, we may try to go for dinner in the next few weeks so we can chat with chef Marc, and the rest of the staff.
SUNDAY—maybe back to the clubhouse, maybe Mason’s lovely house on the harbor, MAYBE a boat cruise on his new toy (weather permitting). The menu will be Flannery Kali Blen burgers; HRH will make the buns. We’ll add sides, maybe something special…

Keep me posted regarding new wines and changes. Hopefully the weather is like last year, rather than the year before.

I can check times at Snee For Sat if anyone wants to play there.
Probably pretty full on Sat though, depending on the college football schedule.

Edit--There's a tournament at our club on Saturday.

Picking up the white truffles from the importer Thursday morning. I will also bring a Japanese Mandolin, better than a truffle shaver, to get the precise thickness when shaving the truffles.


Just got done pulling the declared wines for the weekend. The "bonus" bottles will remain secret, but they will include a very special Scotch I just brought back after visiting my son last week in Scotland.

That's A LOTTA WINE.

I recommend opening 1 and see how things go.

When I looked at photos last year we mostly opened 2x of an equivalent number of wines... paraphrasing Mark C, tonight is the "I'm invincible" phase of the dining progression...
