Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

Hope everyone has a great convention. As I texted our BD last night, I also have some health issues (preventive!) that cause me to miss the gathering.

Jay Winton

Are we talking classifieds or top to bottom? I agree that 2016 seems to be a winner.

and Trump held a dance party last night.

As I have stated previously, age has been beneficial to the 2000 vintage. I think I need to try a 2005 soon. It wasn't too well received a couple of years ago at a dinner I hosted with Brian P and Joel.

WP today: Poll shows Pennsylvania a tie.
NYT today: Harris leads in Pennsyvania but a tie nationally.

Thank you for your words BD. I remember that meeting as well.

Yes, it's paywalled but not a bad time to subscribe. Support print journalism!

I'm reading if Harris wins NC (polls close at 730 and write in votes are being tallied), it could be all over for the Trumpster. The Republican candidate for governor is a total loser as well.

Sanity vs Insanity-clear choice.

Jay Winton

Yikes! Feel better MC

Jay Winton

Congrats! 89 was our year and I've heard it was ok in Bordeaux.

Talk about a private politician, the new PM's teenage kids are a total mystery. Doubt that will last but we know the name of their cat.

Took a 2000 LL to a birthday celebration last night and it didn't last long. Best bottle of my release case yet, everything balanced with a classsic Medoc nose.

Jay Winton

2007 Robert Craig Howell Mountain cab was old school Napa in the best way recently. BWE was at their tasting facility on Howell Mountain, many moons ago.

Jay Winton

Happy birthday. 60 is nothing, try 65. Isn't nice to have good bottles cellared to celebrate those special occasions.

DC should work, not sure about France.

We had a nice dinner at a BYOB off Rittenhouse Square called Luna. Italian cuisine owned by an Albanian women. Nice stemware and they decanted one of my wines. Let me tell you Albanian women are beautiful and love their country. We might have to visit one day.

That was an outstanding trip with lots of great memories.

Jay Winton

I've got a lone bottle from the first case enabled by the Devils here-96SM. Maybe it's time for a beach tasting, come one, come all.

Jay Winton

Thanks for another vicarious thrill. The Comte drinks well indeed.

Jay Winton

Come visit and have the best crab in the world-Maryland blue. I only eat it in season and the season has begun!

Jay Winton

There has been a fair amount of discussion on this wine and vintage. I didn't like the flavor profile from bottles opened several years ago but the green element seems to have disappeared fairly recently leaving a very nice wine as you note. Patience, a good thing.

Jay Winton

I sat between Francois and Father Stefan. Most wine I've ever drunk at a BWE event. That was the night a "certain someone" donated a case of 82 1sts I believe-only an example of the generosity here!

Jay Winton

St E-too many "grand crus" that aren't. Did I say I'm a left banker?

Jay Winton

Wine shipping is a crazy quilt especially if you live in a unfriendly state like Delaware though some stores will ship here. There is a bill in the state house to allow shipping and it seems to have a chance. Hope not expectations.

Jay Winton

I'm reading more positive press about Kamala as she's been ingratiating herself with foreign ministers, etc. Maybe she won't be a major drag on the ticket...meanwhile another $112,000 goes on Trump's bill.

Jay Winton

$112, 000 a day in interest on Trump's fine. You have to sell a lot of sneakers to cover that.

Jay Winton

Quite a ride. Is "whuzzup" still running the ship at HDH? Happy BD BWE!

Jay Winton

another 2000LL last night. Aerated for an hour and a slight mustiness remained. Not corked but not up to the level of the last one as above. One or two left. Served with shepherds pie with a mixture of ground chuck, veal and pork. A nice meal on a cold night.

Jay Winton

Nice collection BD!

Jay Winton

Feel better Father Stefan!

Jay Winton

I took a bottle of the 2000 to a dinner party last night. Once again, it showed very well with none of the greeness in earlier bottles and everyone enjoyed it. Could age be reducing the variability of this wine? I bought a case on release and it has been properly stored.

Jay Winton

Welcome. I think I was a college student then.

Jay Winton

>> I've been holding firm with my no-more-than-two-nights-per-week rule. >> Change "two" to "seven" and I'll sign up. I wonder how much it costs to move 1000-2000 bottles of wine across country? I am buying no wine for Texas except for whites and Champagne when we run low. I gue...

Jay Winton

1969 is really a fabled vintage for red Burgundy-don't know about whites. Thanks for the vicarious experience, Brian.

Jay Winton

We had a great trip there a few years ago-well worth it. BA is a beautiful city and Mendoza a lovely place to visit. Achaval Ferrer makes an excellent, reasonably priced malbec and a nice winery to visit.

Jay Winton

Always a great evening with our Florida hosts!

Jay Winton

Santa brought me covid so pretty low key holiday. Had a nice 2016 Rondi Barbaresco last night though.

Jay Winton

Our man in Lewiston!

We had a 99 Turley Pringle for Thanksgiving brought by a guest. I thought it a bit subdued but quaffable. The 05 La Lagune was much preferred.
