I have a stash of 2005 burgs including some H Boillot. Always thought
vintage would need time so no corks pulled at this stage.
Have some 2015 of Boillot Chevrets which I think may drink earlier.

consume local small production wines purchased direct from producers

I know Usenet in general is dead, but I like posting here, even if small readership, and gives me an archive backup

I'd love to read notes on less known NZ producers, you never know when they might export. A good friend lived in NZ for a few years and it was fun learning about wines (some of which like Kumeu River started to be imported) or when a NZ friend brought a Bell Hill Canterbury Chard to a dinner.
