Telephone Wine Brokers-Revisited!

[MiamiArt]

I'm new to this site. I found it because I was looking for a misplaced phone number of my broker. and Google displayed your June forum. I guess I was a little defensive because of my friend who works in the business. I made the comment about enjoying ALL the wines I had ordered from him, because most of those types are low in alcohol, and perfect for sharing with friends after a good meal. Desserts? Yes, but also very easy to drink. My favorite wines are the Sauternes, especially the Chateau Coutet Barsacs... I've still got two bottles from 1972 that are the deepest amber, honey color you can imagine. The best Sauternes I ever bought was a 1961 Chateau Latour Blanche. The last bottle disappeared ten years ago, and I can still smell the magic on the old cork! My brother and I recently opened a 1990 Chateau Haut Brion, and it was exciting. I've always been partial to anything from the Bordeaux region, and have traveled there many times for the food and the history. The wines of the Alsace facinate me. I discovered the Paul Blanck & Fils winery in Kientzheim a few years ago. Their 1998 Riesling Schlossberg was especially memorable. Many of those wines are a little to earthy for my tastes, but there's so much to learn in that beautiful area.

I don't have alot of experience on chat boards, so please bear with me as I learn. I'll be more careful with my broad generalities in the future. I'm a neophyte who is willing to grow!
