I've been on Medicare nearly a year and still haven't used it yet. One of these days I''ll get around to scheduling a routine physical so my doctor can update my file. I've been feeling quite good since I'm using a Water Rower for exercise. I felt good enough to demolish and remove 300 (15x20) squar...

According to a couple of conservative legal scholars (Luettig & Tribe), Trump is constitutionally ineligible to hold office after taking part in an insurrection. All it takes is one Secretary of the State to refuse to put him on the ballot. Of course it will be tested at the supreme court level,...

Racer Chris

A couple other young Bordeaux I enjoyed recently are 2016 Ch Tronquoy-Lalande and 2016 Ch. Prieure-Lichine, but many 2014s are hitting their stride now.

Racer Chris

2014 Ch Labegorce is yummy.

Racer Chris

Attempted murder is a crime based on a failed effort too. What makes you think he wouldn't do something treasonous like share them with the Russians or saudis? He already showed the Russians classified material in the oval office when he was president. "Stand back, and stand by..." Trump p...

One more run thru the Bordeaux section at the Manchester Total Wine before the 15% off sale ends.
3x 2014 Château Branaire-Ducru
2x 2014 Domaine de Chevalier
1x 2014 Château Haut-Bailly
1x 2019 Château Brane-Cantenac
1x 2019 Château Pierre de Montignac

Racer Chris

The charges have nothing to do with the insurrection.
It seems to me that Conspiracy to Defraud the American People is sufficient to warrant an indictment of the former president.

Racer Chris

We drank a 375 of Laurent Perrier La Cuvee tonight to mark today's indictment.
Mary says she'll pay for a bottle of Krug to open when the conviction for these charges is handed down.

Racer Chris

I just drank a 2015 Blason d'Issan on Friday. Apart from having a bit more oak signature than I prefer, it's drinking well now.

Racer Chris

The second wine of Ch Siran is "S de Siran".

Racer Chris

I don't have any of the 2016 S-M, but I'm tempted to buy more of the 2014.

Racer Chris

People should stop looking at tabloid news (incl. fox), lol.

Racer Chris

The Marquis de Chassagne was a character in a movie we watched last week - Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.

Racer Chris

Taking advantage of 15% off at total wine, one more time. This time I went to West Hartford since I've already taken what I want from the Manchester store.

3x 2014 Rauzan-Segla ($89.23)
1x 2015 La Lagune ($59.49)
1x 2020 Capbern ($29.73)
2x 2019 Lanessan ($21.23)
3x 2019 Fourcas Dupre ($21.23)

Racer Chris

I'm currently chasing down 2014s that I missed or didn't get enough of, and are still available.
But my per bottle price limit is a bit lower than yours.
Well done!

Racer Chris

Is it a wine from the Bordeaux Region?

Racer Chris

To me 2018 is the biggest (14%abv), fruitiest vintage of L-T I've had, including '09 & '10.

Racer Chris

I think they only use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the blend.

Racer Chris

Donald Trump was at the center of a multi-pronged conspiracy to steal the election. The insurrection was only one of the plans.
A significant amount of the evidence has already been made public.

Racer Chris

Every citizen is subject to the laws of this country. When he was president he was immune to prosecution. Nothing more. Real successful democracies hold their past leaders to account for misdeeds.

Racer Chris

What's this "duly elected" shit?

Racer Chris

I bought that bottle in Manchester TW that I’ve been eying for a while, and I opened it last night. 2 1/2 hours later I drained the last sip from my glass after my last bite of the rare filet of rib I made for the occasion. That was a perfect pairing for the young Margaux. I poured my first glass be...

Racer Chris

15% off at TW today. 1 2019 Château Brane-Cantenac ($59.50) 1 2019 Château Fourcas Dupré ($21.25) 1 2020 Château Fourcas Dupré ($25.50) 1 2017 Château Labégorce ($34) 2 2019 Château Lanessan ($21.25) 2 2018 Château Prieuré-Lichine ($42.50) 1 2014 Château Rauzan-Ségla ($89.25) 2 2018 Château Roquevie...

That does sound like a good price. However I can't say I'm shopping for additional magnums right now.

I'm happy I was able to score one bottle at less than $60 before they took off in price. Now I don't see it for less than $95. I'm more likely to buy another '14 Rauzan-Segla - available locally at just under $90. And I'm even more likely to buy a few more '19 Brane-Cantenac below $60 - locally.

Racer Chris

Well, in this case it didn’t go well, but I don’t blame B21.
Fedex damaged the shipment and sent it back to FL without attempting delivery. I cancelled the order rather than push my chances on summer weather.
Yesterday I ordered a case of the 2016 F-D from Saratoga.

Racer Chris

12x 2019 Fourcas Dupre @ $20 ea + free shipping. Chancing it with an early summer order from B-21. Temps here will remain below average at least until after my delivery on Monday.

Racer Chris

Get ready for more federal indictments of DJT, and a likely state indictment in GA.
The guy really is worse for the world than all your previous examples of American hegemony Jim, despite attempts at false equivalency by misrepresenting the facts.

And yeah, your good neighbors are in a cult.

Racer Chris

The answer is zero for all three

(america is not imperialist)

Racer Chris

The election isnt until November 2024 Jim.
smh

Racer Chris

Maybe by the time the third indictment is handed down, people who haven't followed the details of his criminal behavior will accept that this isn't just a political witch hunt.

Racer Chris

Yesterday morning I heard someone advise Trump to not buy any green bananas. Little did he know how accurate that advice would be. They still won't be ripe by next Tuesday. I totally disagree with Marcs' characterization. The crime is not one of administrative process - not even a little bit. It is ...

Racer Chris

In 2018 I paid $60 for my one bottle. Now its up to $90+, which seems to be about the lowest price for a bottle of any vintage R-S currently available at retail. I'm not planning to open mine for at least a few more years but will consider picking up another one or two if the planets align again in ...

Racer Chris

4x 2019 Ch. Brane Cantenac
3x 2019 Ch. de la Huste
3x 2019 Ch. du Retout
2x 2019 Ch. Pierre de Montignac

Racer Chris

So is this a buying opportunity for KRE?

Racer Chris

5x 2018 Ch Larose Trintaudon
7x 2016 Ch. de Pitray
1x 2011 Quinta do Noval

Racer Chris

I got one bottle of '14 Montrose for $100 early on, and I wouldn't mind having a couple more. Table and Vine is at $130, with 10% off available, so just $117. There are a few other good choices at T&V to help build a half case or more. Their West Springfield store is half an hour drive from work...

The three I drank in 2018 were a thrill, but after that I set my CT drinking window to open in 2027.

2015 Château Fourcas Dupré - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Listrac-Médoc (4/28/2023) Wow, this bottle really held my attention. Popped and poured. Consumed with dinner over two evenings. Persistent secondary notes of leather and tobacco on the nose. Well balanced fruit, acid and tannin, with a medium lo...
