I'll buy another one for you next time at D.M. at cost. No need to buy from me.

Dejavu 兄，你真好！  謝謝！

I hope the cost is right and the shop hasn't noticed the problem.

You decide for me la.  Thanks.

And CHEERS to Barton 兄 !

We may go to Mirepoix for our next gathering.

They now changed the format to private party only and we could have a nice dinner party in a cosy environment.  

It probably costs us the same as ...

Support !  

We (mrs and I) would gladly go where you recommend.  If you'd need a deposit from us, please just let me know.   THANKS !

No cash deposit from you is necessary.  Just deposit your RP100 1990 vintage is enough.

That is earmarked for 2020 drinking !

I'll find other good Rhone la.

For example, Hermitage La Chapelle 2001 is good choice....

This is way too young, last time we tried it, it did not open up at all, even after the party was over 3 to 4 hours later !

I'd bring a La Chapelle 1988 (RP92) and a La Petite Chapelle 2001.

just kidding U man, what u bring, we will like

DJV was talking about La Chapelle 1990 ar, not 2001.

1990 is drinkable now, but still has many years to improve.  RP estimates its life to 2050 !!

If you want Franch I can bring Beaucastel CDP 1998 (RP95+),it's just entering its drinking window, or I can bring CLONAKILLA 2001 Shiraz Voignier (JH96) which suppose to be one of the best Australi ...

CLONAKILLA is a good imitation, but has far to go..  IMHO  

Also, I think JH can not be trusted, much worse than RP !

... after 5 mark deduction, Parker is more reliable

Agree !

Oh, I forgot, I said to DJV we'd share a Mount Mary Quintet 1999
  
I bring that instead of the La Petite Chapelle 2001, even though it's not related to Rhone at all.

Hey, one bottle is enough la.  Oncologist is gonna tell you to drink in moderation.

2 bottles is already moderation for me and my wife la !!  

Revised list:
Jaboulet La Chapelle 1988
Mount Mary Quintet 1999

Of course we don't just rely on grading, only when we don't have first hand experience, grading is still a good pointer, at least it will reduce chances buying a bad wine with our hard-earned money ...

我很贊同 !   you have spoken my mind

sounds like I have to pull out the Jaboulet La Chapelle 2001 for vertical tasting. Am I killing the baby?

Yes, a toddler.

2003 is a VERY GOOD vintage for NORTHERN Rhone (Cote Rotie, etc.).   

As for SOUTHERN Rhone (CDP etc.), 2000, 2001 and 2005 are V. Good years.

Do remember 2002 is a 超爛年 for both,  AVOID !

Onc 兄,  IF you would allow me, give me a budget, I'll try to buy an older Rhone for you ?    Rather than "killing babies"

It's up to you if you don't mind being a little cramped - the venue is for 14 but can stretch to the limit of 16.

It looks like 30th as pretty colleague is not in town on Jan 25.
