  1. Yquem 1928 to 2019 - Wine Collection of Alexandre de Lur-Saluces is Auctioned tinyurl.com/5dbvyp9x via @weinpluseu #sauternes #yquem #auction #wineworldnews

  2. I'm reminded of two things: what a great value this was (although the days when I could get this 375ml for $18 are, alas, gone); and how much more interesting mature Sauternes is.More focused, and more easily absorbing wood,this is tight and a little tense, with big flavor on the finish. Nowhere close to dying, of course.

    Newer years are about $55 per half if you're wondering. This year might be available for not much more at auction, but backfilling is always risky.

  8. Whine or wine? Last night, picked wine. An odd duo for the main event, the Thalassitis 2015 Assyrtiko, with synthetic cork, was super. So youthful, so fresh, restrained and elegant. The Pegau 1998 Reservée opened slowly, but blossomed into pure deliciousness. A little rough around the edges, it could use drinking, but it was no slouch. And a sweet conclusion posted on recently. Who doesn't like mature Sauternes? This is the way! #wine #greece #chateauneuf #santorini #Sauternes #assyrtiko

  9. The 2006 U.S.-EU wine trade agreement protects 17 EU wine designations (e.g., #Champagne, #Burgundy, #Chablis, #Chianti, #Port, #Sherry, Rhine Wine, #Sauternes w/o the "s"). BUT there is a "Grandfather" provision: producers who used them prior to Mar 10, 2006, may continue using them indefinitely federalregister.gov/documents/
