Name That Wine

It's snowing.
I'm hibernating.
Anyone care to guess what wine's on deck for tonight?

David McDuff said...: You tell me, Bill. Test those memory banks. I do have reason to believe you've tried the wine that this cork belongs to (or at least one closely related to it) in the past.; December 19, 2009 at 8:58 PM
TWG said...: Um, you're snowbound and only one wine? You can do better.; December 19, 2009 at 9:45 PM
TWG said...: The sad part is you have matching wrapping paper.
word ver: yotady, the philly version og hot toddy?; December 19, 2009 at 9:48 PM
David McDuff said...: Don't you mean wallpaper, Tom? Got a great price and just couldn't pass it up. Looks really great in the wine cellar.; December 19, 2009 at 10:03 PM
TWG said...: Wallpaper in a wine cellar? Must be an expansive space.; December 19, 2009 at 11:25 PM
bill l said...: noella morantin!; December 20, 2009 at 10:24 AM
David McDuff said...: Tiny actually, Tom. In a constant state of take one out in order to put one in....

Bill,
Now we're getting somewhere. Care to be more specific?; December 20, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Anonymous said...: My educated guess is that it's the 08 Mon Cher OR the 08 Gamay.

David McDuff said...: Nice swings, anon... but strike one and two.; December 20, 2009 at 4:58 PM
bill l said...: the menu pineau?

what did you eat with it?; December 20, 2009 at 6:02 PM
David McDuff said...: Nope, look again mate. That there cork's from a bottle of red wine. As for food, nothing that would give any clear clue. A zesty pasta dish with chicken meatballs on D1; pizza on D2. Worked just fine with both.; December 20, 2009 at 8:00 PM
bill l said...: forgot about stain on the cork...how about cot?

just google imaged noella. tres jolie!; December 20, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Anonymous said...: okay, okay, it's Clos Roche Blanche Cot with a borrowed cork, or it could be the "la Boudinerie" cuvee (sample?). Hmmm; December 20, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Unknown said...: then it is the Côt from Noëlla Morantin; December 21, 2009 at 8:46 AM
David McDuff said...: Well done, gentlemen. Bill and Hans, you're both correct. I should add that Jason Adams of Brooklyn, NY guessed correctly almost immediately, though he posted his answer on Fbook rather than here.

And anon, I like your way of thinking and only wish Noella and or Joe D. were sending me samples!

Notes and my own pic of the lovely Ms. Morantin coming soon....; December 21, 2009 at 8:53 AM
David McDuff said...: And finally, the details have been revealed.; December 21, 2009 at 1:34 PM
Jason A said...: So, do I get a prize?; December 21, 2009 at 6:36 PM
David McDuff said...: I'm sure I can rustle up something good, Jason, but you'll have to come to Philly to claim it.; December 21, 2009 at 11:18 PM
