If you could only ever have one more class of wine, which wine would it be? www.wine-links.info?

Answer 1

That's a really tough one and would depend on my mood. Probably a merlot from Wolf Blass or Penfolds. But that's a horrible thought, only ever having one more glass of wine ! I am getting palpatations at the thought !

Answer 2

The holy grail of wine, I have never tasted, it is too expensive - but If your question is implying a Wish being granted then I would have to go for Romanee Conti.

I once bought a bottle of Premier Cru (unnamed vineyard) Vosne Romanee that was absolutely stunning - I opened it while watching a TV program that I was keenly viewing. I took a sip and swallowed the taste sensation was magic and a feeking of Euphoria spread through my body and limbs. I totally stopped watching the TV and kept marvelling at the wine staring mindlessly into dreams and reading, re-reading, and reading yet again every word on the labels front and back of the bottle.
Velvet, Spice and Opulence are the only words I can use to remember this wine.

Now Premier Cru Burgundy is the 2nd Highest Level of wine
----------------------------------------------- Source 1 if interested
Premier Cru

About 600 vineyards merit the appellation "Premier Cru". They have been officially designed from the old habits which accepted them as best wines. The name of the village, followed by the name of the vineyard, in the same lettering, appears on the label of a "Premier Cru".

Grand Cru

Only 33 vineyards have the privilege of being agreed as "Grand Cru". They used to be called "Tête de Cuvée". They are the best among the best
----------------------------------------------------
With no Vineyard on the Label - it can be that it is a blend of wines from several Premier Cru vineyards in Vosne Romanee - and blends cannot state the vineyard. But I went on to hear a rumour that the reason it did not have a vineyard on the label was because it was a 'De- Classified' Grand Cru.
That means that although good, the Producer did not believe it was quite up to the high standards he usually achieved so did not want to sully the reputation of his wine by allowing his Vineyard name to be associated with that bottle.
Further research showed that very few Grand Cru producers released a Grand Cru wine for that year.
So if that was a bad bottle - what would the all singing and all dancing version taste like?
I looked up the prices of Grand Cru wines in Wine Magazines over the next few years and at the top by a large margin were consistently the same 5 wines 4 of them Bordeaux Lafite, Latour etc but always at the top Romanee Conti. Other Grand Cru Burgundies and Vosne Romanee Grand Crus were significantly further down the list.

So Romanee Conti has been my Holy Grail ever since
----------------------------------------------------------------- source 2
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti: is there another domaine that engenders more recherché? Onomatopoeically regal, a novice would feel some instinctive feeling of grandeur uttering those syllables but alas their wines are so rare, sought after and let us be frank, so prohibitively expensive; that mere utterance is as close as most people get.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway if you are granting a wish that is it for me -
but if it has to be my last glass ever can you wait until my death bed!

I could not find any wines at Wine - Links - how will you be able to grant my wish?

Answer 3

Glass, not class, correct?

Turley Hayne Vineyard, because it is so unique and packs such a punch. DRCs, First Growth Bordeauxs, Chateauneufs and such would just make me think of all the others I'll never have... I could never pick just one.

Second would be an old D'Yquem, maybe a '28 or '34, because of the layers and layers of concentrated flavors that force you to drink as slowly as possible.


Red wine is just ketchup???? Funniest line I've read in a long while!

Answer 4

A full bodied red, Grenache from Cotes Catelanes, as for the glass it would have to be the Gherkin Building @ 30 St Mary Axe London (upturned of course)

Answer 5

A glass of Silver Oak Cabernet from Napa Valley.

Answer 6

If you're that much wine-lover, you should ask your questions with more precisions - and my sub-questions are : what time ? whom with ? why ? would you drink wine without food which is unfortunately so common in the UK ? or with ?

i guess you just want a shallow-light-flowerish- flavoured wine just in order to drink it casually - so sorry

Let me tell you : white wines - chilled - Bordeaux blanc
Corbières Tariquet
Corbières Viognier
Alsatian Tokay
Condrieu ( mind your
purse )
Saint- Joseph
Chateauneuf du pape
blanc

Just some ideas - just do promise me that you'll serve some fresh nuts, slices of cheddar, saucisson slices - which will dampen the effects of alkohol - Cheers !!!!!!!

Red wine is just ketchup - better to forget it

Answer 7

Ice wine....any kind. Perfect for a cold day like today. Nice and sweet. Good
