Re: The 2014 Cos d'Estournel has been uncorked and other ramblings....
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...

Re: President Trump
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,...

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.

Re: President Trump
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.

Re: President Trump
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.

Re: 2014 Duhart Milon
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.

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.
