Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

JimHow

Sociando Mallet is one of the great wines of BWE.

JimHow

Cheer up, cancer survivor Ruth Ginsburg is only 85.

JimHow

Sigh. I have one bottle left.

JimHow

I tremble at this news, JimS.

JimHow

The great white hopes in the Democratic Party are Uncle Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Liz Warren, average age 93.5.
We are doomed.

JimHow

I totally agree, Felix.
There is nobody in the Democratic Party who can beat DJT in 2020.

JimHow

As usual, Felix, I believe you nailed it on the '96 Lynch.
Although, of course, I think it was at its best when it was REALLY young, like around 2000.

JimHow

Boy, I know, Jon, but it's not just the recent insanity, it's the Mussolini-like fascist thuggery we saw in Trump's campaign crowds, the "beat him up, throw him out" chants, etc. And our Supreme Court is on board, too. We are in a time of thug politics, where niceties are getting us absolu...

JimHow

Sounds like you guys have settled in nicely, Jon.

JimHow

Yeah, may be time for an upgrade.

JimHow

...on the back deck.
My favorite time of year.

JimHow

Barde Haut is an excellent wine at $30.

JimHow

I think when "on" 1982 is my favorite vintage, period.

JimHow

Amen, DavidG.
I have no idea what the limits of this lunatic are.
He thinks Putin and Kim Jong are neat.

JimHow

Mmm, 2012 Barde Haut...
Comte is locked out for some reason.

I’ll bet it was Nicola, he’s pretty stuffy like that.

JimHow

Great stuff, sdr. But, eh, the self-important dude you drank with ain't no true BWEer if he is so important to keep his identity secret from our nearly two decade old wine site, the greatest wine web site in the world. There ain't no secrets here, among friends. He must be a pretty big deal if we're...

JimHow

Indeed, Danny, it is amazing the parallels to my law practice that you have described. A small handful of us actually end up trying cases. There are "defense lawyers" in southern Maine who have tried zero, or maybe one or two, jury trials in their entire careers. I've now tried 112 jury tr...

So I'm representing this guy named Willie Minor, he's a great guy but he's been wrongfully accused of gross sexual assault (rape) and sex trafficking (pimping), no matter how much French wine I drink I haven't been able to get The Sweet's 1972 pop classic "Little Willy" out of my head sinc...

JimHow

Sipping on the 2003 tonight after yelling at three DAs today.
It's really nice, IMHO.
What is striking me is how relatively young it remains.

JimHow

The West is failing? I haven't seen it this good in Lewiston since the early 70s. Our unemployment rate when Barack Hussein left was about 2.3%, same as it is today. I've noticed ZERO change in my life since that great equalizer DJT took office, other than his screaming and hollering about them vile...

JimHow

Ha ha, AKR.

How did we EVER survive before Trump.

JimHow

Ooh, looks good!
Man, I have some tough cases going right now.
I’ve been working on my second novel, the story if Billy Cole a decade later, and the physical ravages that his practice has exacted upon him.
The stress is unbelievable... But I can’t imagine doing anything else!

JimHow

Thanks for the update Bill. I have 10 bottles left, my plan is to drink one per year over the next 10 years.

JimHow

“Let’s deport without due process.”

If that’s where the US has gone, then our own kristallnacht is not far down the road.

JimHow

I don’t think anyone is saying he is Das Fuhrer.
He’s more in the Il Duce stage, I would say.

JimHow

If you have not seen the movie I highly recommend it, it is on Netflix:

The 1990 Lagrange came in second place to the ‘89 Lynch on that memorable night in Chicago in February 2001, just ahead of the ‘89 Purple Baron. It is my second favorite vintage of Lagrange, behind only the 2007.

JimHow

Bob Parker, Alex Rychlewski, and I enjoy our Bordeaux in earlier timeframes than you, Danny.
I am honored to be in such august company.

JimHow

Right... But how about this simple Premier Cru?
And I'm not just talking about 2005.
I'd like to buy the 2015, for example, but it doesn't seem to exist.

I have indeed drunk a lot of bottles of the 2005 Jadot, from both 750 and 375. One of the all-time greatest deals in my wine purchasing history.

JimHow

I have only 4 bottles left of this splendid 2005 Jadot.
As I look online I see all kinds of options, anniversary bottlings, etc., etc.
I just don't see this bottle out there anymore.

JimHow

David, you have my dispensation on Oregon pinot, I'm going to be buying more 2014 and 2015 St. Innocent Momtazi and Shea myself.
Sincerely,
Your Beloved Benevolent Dictator

JimHow

Ha!! That’s amazing Danny, I swear I said the exact thing to myself yesterday.
I’m done. Too expensive. I’m going to be 60 this fall.
I’m rounding out my cellar with 2014, 2015, and 2016.
2017 is just too expensive.
No regrets. That’s just life. It’s been a good run.

JimHow

I have one bottle of 1996 Lynch left, my recollection from the last bottle several years ago is that it was on the downslope then.
This was great when it was young, but should have been consumed within its first 15 years.

JimHow

The oral argument:

JimHow

I know the lawyer (George Isaacson) who argued for Wayfair, he practices here on Lisbon Street.
Looks like he's on the losing side. Interesting split among the justices.

JimHow

I want pictures!

JimHow

Ok Mom, I'll follow whatever advice you give me.
I can only dream of enjoying life some day as much as you.

As I said previously, I'm glad you like it!
Myself, i thought the 2005 was swill, but it sounds like the 2000 is better.

JimHow

The federal prosecutors have you by the balls because of federal sentencing guidelines. If you don't "accept responsibility" you get punished more. As for 2003 Lafon Rochet drinking window, Arv, you are asking the wrong guy. In my mind this wine is drinking beautifully right now, at the 15...
