Re: President Trump

With friends like this......From Politico today. ''National security ambassador John Bolton on Tuesday called Jair Bolsonaro, the bombastic, far-right nationalist who triumphed in Sunday's Brazilian elections, a "like-minded" partner whose ascent to the presidency should be seen as a welco...

Re: Is The '89 Lynch Bages The Most Overhyped Wine Ever?

David, They got their Fedex account yanked one day before I talked to them. Which is a shame because they offered two day shipping. And UPS missed picking up 20 parcels the very first day after being contacted, so the shipping guy was not..........happy. It was 28C in LA yesterday, maybe I'll just h...

Re: Is The '89 Lynch Bages The Most Overhyped Wine Ever?

LOL. Very funny guys. No, the truth is I lost my source, the ex banker turned bootlegger, hauling wine from France and England into Sweden in the back of his van. Our state run Systembolaget has none of the wines mentioned here, so quite frustrating. Talked to MacArthur's and they do ship but it tak...

Re: Is The '89 Lynch Bages The Most Overhyped Wine Ever?

LOL. Sooo good to hear from you. You will be pleased to hear I met JS a few years ago in Havana. We sat in the same tasting panel hosted by Habanos S.A. I did not bring up the '96 vintage.

So at least KL is reputable enough to buy from although overpriced.......

Re: TN: Champagne, champagne and more champagne

Stunning tasting, Stuart. In sheer desperation over that I missed the Salon 96 I picked up a six pack of the 97's for a devestating price. I should be ashamed.

Re: The Jefferson bottles...

I agree, David. Well said. I was really shocked when I first read this article. I saw a similar story on the BBC a few days ago about the bubble on the contemporary art market.
