At our White Burgundy tasting a couple of weeks ago I heard a number of people say they thought it was the best tasting ever. I think over the 16 years of Friday tastings here we’ve done some very special ones so that’s high praise indeed. With that in mind I approached this weeks lineup and I’m very proud of my performance. And I’ll tell ya, with the price of Burgundy these days it’s not easy any more to put an interesting tasting together for a reasonable tasting fee! The prices for the incredibly hyped 2009 vintage (in many cases warranted) sent prices soaring but I was able to deliver to you a tasting of 5 out of the 6 wines from this heralded vintage for a decent price. The only non 2009, the Jadot 2007 Lavaux Saint Jacques from Gevery Chambertin, a great Premier Cru vineyard, I got for a great deal. Normally this great wine from Jadot is $100 a bottle but you can have it for $60 while it lasts. We’re set for a great tasting tomorrow night and I hope you all can join us
