@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! 😡
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
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!

"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.

Retweet this and take note. If you show any symptoms, self isolate. Don't be a dick about it, just flippin' do it.

This is very sad news 😢. So young. He will live on in memory whenever I make Yorkshire Puddings (the secret is an extra egg white - thank you Gary!)

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…

There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one.

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 👴
Decanted. 2 hours aught to do before the first glass. Exciting day! Celebrating with @DauzacChateau #happybirthdaytome
Forgoing dining out for my birthday tomorrow, instead we're opting for a leisurely lunch at home with the star of the show: the first bottle of my 2009 @DauzacChateau 🍷
