@DauzacChateau I know of the huge ageing potential of Ch Dauzac. I just received a case of your 2nd wine "Labastide" 2016, the website states "Expresses itself at its best between 4 and 7 years, to age up to 15 years" Can you please tell me if this from vintage date or release?

Anyone else in the EU (NL specifically) order @Decanter via @Magazinesdirect? Nothing but trouble. Constantly missing issues. Last year at least 4 times, this year no March edition and May edition. I keep requesting replacements (when available) and they don't show up either! 😡

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Steven Spurrier. An absolute legend in the world of wine.

Anyone had any dealings with @vivino customer service? I've tried to contact them about a missing order 6 times and not a sniff of a response. They have my money, and tragically I don't have my wine! I used to champion them, soon I'll be starting a negative campaign against them!

@WineLassValeri If you think that's bad just imagine if you found out he must actually be at least 29.

"South Korea pioneered “drive-through” testing, with medical staff collecting swabs + providing results by text within days + released a smartphone app allowing quarantined citizens to self-report symptoms. GPS function tracks if they have left designated quarantine zones."

Amazing! What South Korea is doing is really bending their #Covid19 epidemic curve. Only 131 new cases today, versus 909 on Feb. 29. It's not just China. This clearly can be done. cdc.go.kr/board/board.es…

@eto_wine You are welcome! Many thanks to you for making the first genuinely effective wine preservation system (and I have tried A LOT!) and such a beautiful design to boot. I really hope this scam isn't too damaging to you and all your hard work.

Friends of mine will know how much I champion and adore my @eto_wine decanter/preserver. But please be aware that there is a flood of fake facebook/instagram ads for it at the moment. This is a scam! Eto can currently only be pre-ordered via indiegogo indiegogo.com/projects/eto-a…

@DauzacChateau Thank you for producing such an excellent wine. I bought a half case En Primeur. This is my first. I think I will enjoy a bottle every 5 years or so to study the progression. That'll take me to 68 👴

What's consensus of #BeaujolaisNouveau glassware? For Beaujolais Cru I always whip out the Burgundy bowls, but @MaxiRiedel is pointing me towards Riesling 🤔 The Riesling shape makes sense with all that foreground fruit... Going to go with the glass experts @RiedelUK!
