A nice dinner indeed, Krug is always a nice starter. Yes, the lack of socialization is very tiresome but we will persevere. I brought a 99 Rieussec to my London dinner BC with Ian and his wine group. Young but enjoyable.

I bought a bottle of the 2016 at Costco, liked it but when I went back, all gone.

My birth year as well as mrs vino so, of course, legendary. I've been fortunate to have Margaux (somewhat cooked but some great wine underneath), 59 Mouton-thanks to Stu who thought it a good not great bottle and 59 Lafite, again from Stu this time a glorious wine. So fresh. We are a generous group.

Wisconsin needs $7.9 million upfront for a recount. We'll see if Trump puts his money where his big mouth is.

Thanks Ed and thank God our BWEers are ok! The thing about covid I find truly frightening is how it impacts its victims in different ways and with varying levels of severity. Good news this morning as it looks like we have 2 vaccines with high levels of effectiveness. Stay safe everyone!

When he's not president, he's a private citizen who is deeply in debt with assets that have severely depreciated. Given his financial position, he may be tempted sell classified info to raise cash.

Sorry to miss this. Next time!

And where was trump? On the golf course of course. Now to the champagne selection for tonight.

prune juice or champagne.

It's finally election day and this campaign has been as ugly as I expected. I have no idea what will happen but will be surprised if there is a quick result.

Sunday should work.

I remember 2016. I went to bed close to midnight, woke up at 4 with a bad feeling and turned on the TV for the grim results.

Decanted for about 30 minutes at a bubble gathering last night. Quite a pleasant wine with expected tannins but not overly harsh, nice Bordeaux fruit and still developing. I liked it more than most CTers and critics. I see Calvert Woodley has 375s for $10. I'd buy at that price, also 1500s for $35. ...

Nice to see you posting again, Noah. Your wife seems to consistently rank in the best doctor polls.

February in Alaska-nice. BD, all your cases are tough.

Yes, Biden was good enough and, of course, made far many valid points than the trumpster. Trump's base will support him but I don't think his performance will bring many undecided voters to him. Covid is spiralling seemingly out of control in many red states and hospitals are being overwhelmed. Bide...

I dropped off my ballot at a collection bin and received an email receipt the next day.

Jay Winton

So now Trump won't participate in a remote debate. What should Biden do?

Jay Winton

I wonder if the steroids Trump is taking are affecting his judgement. This back and forth on the stimulus bill is alarming. Our economy needs this bill passed or it's going to be a truly harsh winter.

I listened to the first VH album in 24/192 high resolution last night-the ultimate. I was by myself so volume was appropriate. RIP Eddie. I recently read Ted Templeman's autobiography who produced the core VH recordings. Lots of fun stories. He also produced the Tom Johnston Doobie Brothers recordin...

2 Republican senators on the Judiciary committee test positive. How's that looking for a quick confirmation for Barrett?

Jay Winton

Live by the sword.....I feel sorry for his wife and son though. Of course, she wasn't wearing a mask at the debate.

Jay Winton

Great notes. I really enjoyed the dinner we had at Noize BC (before Covid). I've had the 2006 a couple of times which I enjoyed. I have a few 04s.

Jay Winton

How about champagne?

Jay Winton

Outstanding and Congratulations! Today is our 31st anniversary so perfect timing!

Jay Winton

Agree 2007 for now, 2006 for later based on my tastings.

Jay Winton

I thought Trump was from New York not Chicago in terms of voting early and often.

Jay Winton

I'm thinking larger formats of some of the above with decent provenance might be tasty.

Jay Winton

long lived vintage but only the best examples are still drinking well. Montrose was nice a few years ago.

Jay Winton

We spent a delightful night with the Daytons on our way back from visiting my family in TN. We were given the extremely comfortable guest suite and Susan prepared a delicious dinner and breakfast the next day. Good wines of course including a 2000SHL , a 1990 Clerico Barolo, 2002 Piper Rare champagn...

I opened an 08 Zenith recently. Drinking well with plenty of life left. Father Stefan made me buy a number of 08 Innocents.

JimHow wrote:Yeah when I snuck down to Portsmouth NH yesterday they had the 2007 in stock, I passed.

Based on a bottle I drank with Chris last year, it drinks well now and allows your 2006 to age.

Jeff Leve also a fan.

Latest Economist projection gives Biden an almost overwhelming lead in both popular vote and electoral college as of now. Let's have the election tomorrow. Chance of winning the electoral college Joe Biden Democrat around 5 in 6 or 85% Trump 1 in 6 or 14% Popular vote Biden 97% chance Trump 3%

I heard this morning that a majority of younger voters want Elizabeth Warren to be Biden's running mate. Warren is 73 or 74. We need a new generation in government at top levels. I don't like that the choice may well be decided on race but our country is so crazy and divided now that the norms are ...

Envoyer has lots of champagne deals from small producers and the big boys. Be prepared for pre arrival on many items but they respond to calls and emails on status. I've stopped buying from West Coast suppliers in general as coordinating shipping can be a hassle. I did bite on a couple of the de Neg...

Great news!

Jay Winton

me too and I just sent you an ebay gift card so please stop asking!

Based on the Bolton book article in the WP, I think Pompeo may be walking the plank soon.

61 years of age. 2016 is the last classified vintage I bought, wasn't much but I assume it will lure youngsters to my nursing home.
