2004 mischief & mayhem gevrey-chambertin 1er crazy love
With a few (very) good contacts, M&M were able to fashion this blend of two iconic Gevrey 1ers – if you buy some wine from them, they might tell you what’s in the bottle – they probably won’t tell you who they got if from though! 2004 Mischief &… Read More
Maison Mischief & Mayhem: 2009 Update (2007s)
Wines tasted 1st May. Mischief and Mayhem have retained my award for ‘Personal Shoppers’ for whites. The range (below) perfectly encapsulate the freshness and clarity of 2007 whites – I have bought 2005s and 2006s from this address, and I shall also buy some 2007s. For the 2007… Read More
2x 2006 pulignys: carillon + mischief and mayhem
Carillon is a benchmark for village Puligny, so given that I bought some M&M bottles and I finally got some Carillon delivered, this seemed a worthwhile comparison. By a ‘nose’ I gave the aromatic laurels to Carillon, but taking the package as a whole, I just find the M&M… Read More

The 2005’s of Mischief & Mayhem
A short visit where I was tolerated, indeed (I have to say) welcomed despite the late hour in the day. Michael Ragg was his usual professional and friendly self and presented a few interesting additions to the Mischief and Mayhem portfolio for 2005. All in all, M&M have considerably… Read More
update at mischief & mayhem
As discussed in my report back in July, the team at M&M have opened (only last weekend) their new ‘cellar-door’ facility – rather nice it is too – but if today was anything to go by, in January the refridgerator will be used to keep the wine… Read More
