@Daver6 - disgorgement date? I think Charles Heidsieck is underrated, such a good drop for the price imo.
Was tempted to go chilled read for omakase/kappo tonight... wussed out and went with fizz.
This felt a bit pedestrian, maybe it was the pinot noir stems being used?
Was balanced, fine beads, bruised apples on the nose. Easy going, but not special.
Great to hear, I've got a bottle of this. Will hang on to it.My father brought this out for a family dinner with only he and I drinking it. so we felt that we had to do it justice and finish the bottle.
Seems he knows the winemaker and got them for $40/bottle so opted for the dozen. Retail appears to be $100

Slammed for the rest of the night, thankfully the wife was driving home. Very heavy and full of flavour, long finish and a taste I couldn’t describe. In all honesty, I’d be cellaring it for at least 5-10 years before starting drinking it again.
Have taken a bottle to deliver to my uncle in Sydney tomorrow. Will he last until 2038 like the drinking window? Doubt it…neither will my father, so I’ll inherit some bottles.

Jacquesson not quite sub $100 anymore?I agree with you. It's by far one of the best sub-$100 champagnes. With 40% reserve wine it's complexity is unrivalled. My other favouriate sub-$100 is Jacquesson.

Thats the most impressive glass list I’ve seen!! If there’s anything remotely close in Aus, I’d love to hear!We had our fair share of beer in Munich during Oktoberfest. With one more day in town after it finished we found this great wine bar short walking distance from Marienplatz.

Enjoy high quality meat & fish, vegan Maki rolls and freestyle Sushi. Close to the Münchner Freiheit in Munich Schwabing.www.grapes-weinbar.de
Not only they had a good Coravin list by the glass but all wines served in Zalto glassware!

Apart from the Coravin list there is a huge list by the bottle (including some Aussie) and also more simple wines by the glass. There were few more opened bottles that night from an event they hosted earlier which we could have by the glass.
One of the owners happened to be there and appreciated our enthusiasm saying most guests don’t really notice the glassware. We let the him choose wines for us, starting with couple of Mosel Rieslings (one of them on the list) moving to local PNs and finish with some French reds.
The food menu is small but of quality, made by ex Michelin star restaurants chefs. We had an amazing night, highly recommend this place when visiting Munich
