I have comments but our 20th anniversary celebration is intruding.

Jay Winton

all of you are wrong...2009 is the VOC. Kidding aside, the 2000 Baron is really good but the 95 Andy brought was no slouch either.

Jay Winton

Jim,
what dates work for you?

Jay Winton

I've loved everything I've tried from St Cosme in '07. Then again, I've loved about 90% of all southern Rhones I've tried from '07. This was no exception. 2007 Château de Saint-Cosme Côtes du Rhône Les Deux Albion - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône (9/17/2009) Purple to rim, nose a lit...

So possible December dates: Friday the 4th, 11th, 18th or Saturday the 5th, 12th, or 19th

no firm dates set yet but it does get harder to get folks together as the holidays approach.

Jay Winton

Jim feels the DC chapter needs an inspection so we're looking at early December for a gathering. Would any locals (and and anybody else) be available for a dinner(s)?

Jay Winton

We drank a 95 Pichon Baron thanks to Andy this weekend that was also excellent. We should pair these two some time.

Jay Winton

What a time. Thanks to new and old BWEs buds for making this a wonderful weekend. I have a few thoughts to post. Give me 8 minutes.

Jay Winton

leaving Beantown no later than 3 barring any unforeseen delays. Will have my navigator call HQ from the road with updates.

Greetings from Boston where we've also been enjoying great weather. I understand many lobsters are making evacuation plans as the BWEs descend. Jim, I completely understand if a piece of the cheesecake was lost in shipment before our arrival. I can't wait for some of the Artisinal cheeses-they are t...

Jay Winton

Porterhouse or ribeye for us. We like tenderloin but it generally needs a sauce or a compote (sp). I'm bringing as one of my 6 pack a GC white burg JScott sent me together with the 96DB for our virtual tasting (we ought to do this again). This was extremely generous of JScott-another example of the ...

Jay Winton

packing is underway!

Jay Winton

Can't ask for a better weather report. I imagine it will be a bot cooler on the coast?

Jay Winton

We can't wait to get there!

Jay Winton

what Stefan says

Jay Winton

I think Friday makes the most sense as that would leave Saturday open. Also, since we can't byob I'd rather do it in the afternoon. Warmer weather as well and you can see everything

Jay Winton

kill that cow!

Jay Winton

my post seems to have disappeared. Of course, it was my greatest achievement.

Jay Winton

I bought a couple of Velvet Sisters at the winery...good juice. I can't remember the vintage but it may have been 2000.

Jay Winton

Well, maybe we could just get some kind of food to go and hang out at the cove.

Jay Winton

Winezap shows Moulin at a couple of places in the US-mid $30spb. Wine searcher is down so can't check it there. Thanks for the note.

Jay Winton

Another excellent party and some interesting wines. Sorry you can't join us in Maine.

Jay Winton

I will bring some 96 Lanson champagne-drinking well now.

Jay Winton

Well, it looks like Peggy will be tied up both nights while we are in Boston 9/8 and 9/9 so I'm up for some quaffing if any of the Boston group is available. No car but I assume public transportation will get me where I need to go. Send me a PM if you like or email jhw59 at hotmail.com I also though...

Jay Winton

booked! They don't take AARP or AAA but I did get a "senior rate" of $41 when I mentioned I had those cards.

Jay Winton

music to my ears

Jay Winton

Lobster, morning, noon and night!

Jay Winton

Thanks for taking the lead on this. We're looking forward to our trip and seeing everyone!

Jay Winton

Hmm, maybe half a case then.

Jay Winton

Thanks. Yes, it's Mistral and the street is Berkeley. I'll pass this along

Jay Winton

Mrs V is planning a business dinner in September for around 25 folks who will be staying at the Jury's back bay hotel at stuart and barkely streets. The venue must be within walking distance. Three places have been recommended: Davios, Mustard, and Grill 23. Which has the best food and a decent list...

Jay Winton

I remember our BD liking this in the mid teens pricewise so I purchased a case for $120. I think I tried this a few months ago and thought it quaffed well.

Jay Winton

wow NIc, I've had cars and bureaucracy drain my bank account so my sympathies and no Maine

We were really looking forward to seeing Marie Claude and the latest representative of the next generation of BWE. Buy a lottery ticket-you deserve some good fortune.

Jay Winton

yes, the same wine

Jay Winton

Bought a couple of these from Calvert-Woodley-$34 per box. This is generally a good QPR CDR and I thought it worth a buy in this format. We'll see

Jay Winton

mr vino sees no reason to spend a $100+ more than Motel6 for a room where he will basically sleep (recover) for 8 hours. Besides it's closer to the wine cellar of our benevolent, generous, all sharing of his wine cellar dictator. Motel6 for the vinos!

Jay Winton

We're booked at Smugglers!
