So besides basking in my memories, I really enjoyed how you broke down your tastings and your tasting notes. Hit the nail on the head. For me my visit was the 1st chance I had to taste in 2 different size bottles and it was amazing to me the difference.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the round up and the consistently good content!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-44625503508023006902007-10-09T01:33:00.000-07:002007-10-09T01:33:00.000-07:00Sonadora: apparently those bottles will get re-rel...Sonadora: apparently those bottles will get re-released, so it's worth calling the winery to ask if they can ship to you. They told us that the wines are periodically tasted and if the winemaker feels that they are drinking well, a portion are released for a short while while the rest are kept for a few more years, etc. If the 1997 L'Hermitage was drinkable this summer, I'm guessing the 1999 should be available soon, if it's not already.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-22394334995649591252007-10-08T09:20:00.000-07:002007-10-08T09:20:00.000-07:00We absolutely love Roederer.

We particularly love the 1999 L'Ermitage Brut, I'm sorry they didn't have any at your tasting, I think it blew all the rest out of the water. I wish I could get my hands on more!Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-39608232073383361052007-10-06T09:33:00.000-07:002007-10-06T09:33:00.000-07:00Welcome back Wine Scamp, and hi rougeandblanc.

And rougeandblanc, honestly, if I'd been tasting the 750 and magnum nv sparkler blind I would have bet every cent I had that they were different wines or from completely different bottling years. So it's a great comparison to have and a magnum of Roederer for $39 is not a bad deal at all.
