welcome! Tell us about yourself, where you live and what wines you like.

to celebrate, finally, closing on our beach condo we opened this lovely champagne. No flaws, full body, excellent length with lovely notes of yeast and toast. A winner! Only downer is that it was my last bottle

1. The nation needs a strong two party system. Let one party have too much power and it's not a good thing period 2. I'm glad I was in the car all day Tuesday so I could totally avoid the MJ service. This guy went seriously astray period 3. Don't waste your money on high end Italians period .mr vino

I went through a case quite happily of the 87 Lalande. Since 87 was a "bad" year, it was inexpensive. Good to see it's still drinking well.

Jay Winton

thanks as always for the TNs. I have a bottle of the 95 Heidsdieck and will let it rest.

We're here in TN visiting my folks and just got back from the 4th of July parade in Sewanee-classic small town version. Now off to to the lake for a dip. We had my uncle and assorted cousins over for dinner a couple of nights ago and drank a couple of 89 Barolos-not bad and a 95 Potensac which was q...

Whuzzup! Congrats

Jay Winton

sounds good! you can pm me with contact numbers if you like.

Jay Winton

I usually open 3 bottles. One for the glass in my left hand, one for the glass in my right amd one for mrs vino. This works well for other wines as well.

Jay Winton

At this point, we'll be in Boston Tuesday and Wednesday before leaving for Maine on Thursday so Rob, Susan and whomever, let me know if you're available and possibly we can plan a get together. Of course, we would love to see any of the Boston folks as well.

I can't remember...are we in or on the waiting list? As far as I am aware nobody is dropping out at this stage Jay...do you know of anyone dropping out? As I explained to you on a post above (4/29), and was made explicitly clear from the outset, the numbers are limited to 12, and it was first come ...

Jay Winton

can't we get back to whining?

First it was criticism of RP and The Square. Then it's criticism of those who criticize RP & The Square. Now we have (from Jim) criticism of those who criticize those who criticize RP & The Square. Who wants to be the first to criticize those who criticize those who criticize those who crit...

a reliable QPR in my book. The 2000 aged well in a double mag format-we opened it last year and it was quite nice...as you say, no real complexity but easy to quaff.

Jay Winton

First post here, Jay Winton told me to check things out. It seems that there are some interesting conversations going on. I do not want to get flamed on my first post, but I am ITB, and we do purchase many wines on the "gray" market. I cannot really say too much about other retailers, as ...

Jay Winton

I had and drank a couple of these. Both bottles appeared to be in good condition but neither wowed me. I recall structure and austerity but not ripe tannins.

Jay Winton

The 05 Pichon-Bellevue continues to drink nicely especially with a little air.

Jay Winton

The 2001 Liot at Bassins is a good QPR for $26 (I think). I did see signs of seepage on a few so if you buy online, ask them to inspect your bottles. I also have had the 2005 which was also good and a bit cheaper. Does anyone have any info about this producer?

Jay Winton

IM very humble opinion, le crau's need significant time to show their stuff especially in good-great vintages. I had a 375 of the 98 a couple of years ago that was pretty tannic and tight even after decanting but with lots of promise. An old style CNDP, again, in my very humble opinion. Harry, pleas...

most of the ebob outcasts have moved to winebeserker.com. I invited Daniel Posner (recently banned from ebob land) over here-good guy ITB with whom I have dealt. I think MS's days are numbered as moderator or at least his powers will be reduced. He's upset a whole lot of folks, many of whom are WA s...

I've had one business dealing with Josh a few years ago. There was an issue with shipping and he went out of his way to make sure I received my wine in a timely manner. I enjoyed quaffing with him and I hope he attends another BWE dinner one of these days but, understandably, he may not . Let's move...

Mills in Annapolis MD has the 08 Laland-Borie for $237 a case on futures. I still have a few of the 2000 which I found an excellent value. This is tempting.

Jay Winton

very timely post Nic. Another one I've been enjoying (on second case) is from Spain 2007 Campellares "Rosado," Rioja, Spain. A delicious crisp rose for the wonderful price of $6.

Jay Winton

My last bottle wasn't good (my TN reflected this) so with some trepidation I opened another to accompany our grilled buffalo burgers. This one was much, much better with plenty of fruit and decent length. Certainly not a top tier SM but fine tonight. No great wines, only great bottles? Or good in th...

Jay Winton

I've bought some wine from Daniel Posner and we've traded a few emails. He's not a Bordeaux fan and I hope to get together with him sometime and try to change his mind. He's really been stirring the pot on the Miller issue (with good reason I think). Niller owned a winestore in Baltimore for a numbe...

I thought Stefan rested on the 7th day...obviously not

Jay Winton

Glad you're ok, Danny. See you in Maine!

So BWE 2014?

Jay Winton

1995 Smith Haut Lafitte....I have a mag of this I think...what's the window? Jon and Paula..20 years for us as well this September so what better way to celebrate than to be with the BWE crew in Maine. We also just bought a condo in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.....

Jay Winton

Congratulations for 40 happy years!!!

Jay Winton

Sorry for your loss but 40 years is quite an achievement We'll celebrate 20 this year in Maine!

Jay Winton

I drank a malbec last night and listened to Pet Sounds (a newly acquired DVD-A 5.1 remix)...seemed to work.

Jay Winton

gone...rats

Jay Winton

Again, why don't we get a count of people and then I would be willing to attempt to negotiate a group rate at Smugglers.

Peggy and Jay
Rob and Susan

Jay Winton

if we have this kind of turnout, I would think we could negotiate a group rate wherever we stay. The smugglers inn looked nice.

Jay Winton

hmmm....haven't had a bottle in a while. Sounds like one to put into the cue. I have a bottle of the 99SM to try again as the last bottle was pretty disappointing. Thanks Stefan.

Jay Winton

This may be premature but a certain resident of Dubai expressed interest in the Maine gathering.

Jay Winton

mrs vino says "book 'em, Dano" if there's room for us. I don't think I have ever had Ausone..hint hint.
