This morning, I received a crate of Belgian beer, and last week, a crate of wine (a mixed case) - sent by my brother - a very welcome gift, arrived.
Got a tip for us?

some exquisite wine for the last few days. The Bâtard-Montrachet, I unfortunately didn’t have the chance to taste it, it was the lady. She forgot to call me, I almost dumped her.

Ah, excellent!
Some of my favourites, some superb wines; I love the white wines of Burgundy.
Meursault is one of my all time favourites, and I am also more than partial to a glass (or three) of Chassagny-Montrachet.
As for the Bâtard-Montrachet, well, this is a wine I have yet to make the acquaintence of.
Do enjoy.
For myself, I have opened a bottle of Chablis 1er Cru for consumption later this evening.
Chablis Premier Cru is gorgeous! Enjoy!!!!!
I highly recommend you try Morey-Saint-Denis. You’ll love it if you love Meursault. It’s funny because most people prefer Montrachet (Puligny or Chassagne) than Meursault but myself I always prefer Meursault.
Oh and please please try Corton-Charlemagne.

Thank you.
I shall - or, I hope to.
You hae excellent taste.
Actually, I adore Meursault, it is possiby my favourite wine of all.
Now, I do also love Montrachet (both Poligny and Chassagne), but am most partial to a really good buttery Chablis, one that also has a steely backbone.
I've never had, sampled, savoured, tried, or encountered - let alone enjoyed - Morey-Saint-Denis, but thank you for the recommendation; much appreciated.
Had to work today (well, didn't "have to") but did so and now off for 7 days. Drinking a few Jack Daniels. What can I say? I'm predictable....
Enjoy your whisky.
I am about to open my second beer of the night (while reading a fat, hefty, enticing, history book, the kind you can completely lose yourself in, about the First World War, by Margaret MacMillan), St Bernardus Abt 12.

right there with you.
Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey (as always, on the rocks) for me today.
I have to admit, you have whet my appetite about that book....
At almost 200 pages in - the text is well over 600 pages of closely and densely packed print, with a further hundred or so pages of footnotes, sources and an index - I am almost wholly immersed, and have to remind myself to draw breath ( and pour a glass of Something Nice) at chapter endings.

Wonderful; and a wine that meets with my full approval.
I must say that I love the decanter, by the way.
A Belgian beer beckons, presently.
Wine can wait, but I must say, @gigatoaster, you have sipped, sampled, and savoured some absolutely superlative wines over the past few days.
Consider me enormously impressed and a little envious, both.
Cheers; your health.
