Beltramo's January 31 Red Burgundy Tasting

The next sequence will be a very brief set of notes on 9 French Burgundies. Prices range from $30 to $115. Beltramo's has a very functional tasting area, they Vinturi the wines as the decant, and the pour is a controlled 1 oz pour with a pour device. The have good tasting glasses and have a new tasting every weekend. I am on a roll right now and later today will hit the Parker 95+ wines tasting they are having.

Sorry no pictures or website, except for my favorite for the group. I will list the wines place for the flight, 2nd of 9 or whatever. I primarily use the wine quality as the measure, but when I break a tie, I typically give the break to the wine that is a better price. When I do this type of tasting, I realize the wines are not really in competition, but it is a natural way of thinking about the tasting. It tends to be the case for me that one or two wines stand out positive, one or two wines stand out negative and the others jumble together without much to differentiate them, so take that into consideration if you are looking at the rankings.
