This Alaska/Maine case is one of the most fascinating of my career:

A couple of videos about Chateau Tour Saint-Christophe.
They've really put a big investment into that property.

The 2016 Tour Saint-Christophe is on sale at Zachy's on prearrival at $28.99. That's five dollars more than what I paid for it but still an excellent deal. The reviews lifted from the Zachy's site: Tour St Christophe 2016 (750ML) Zachys NY Future Arrival 94+ ZR94 WA91-94 AG96-97 JS94JD OR What is th...

The first 2016 I’ve had was that Tour Saint-Christophe the other night. It was really good.

By the way, a Bordeaux trip doesn't have to be a whole week and it doesn't have to involve visits to a crazy number of chateaux.
I think we can do something a little shorter and a little more liesurely.

We are going to do a double celebration in 2020 to celebrate 20 years of BWE:

1. Our regular alternating year spring convention in Washington.

2. A trip to Bordeaux.

JimHow

Danny I think we need to go to Bordeaux in 2020.

JimHow

Well done, HBL. Very well done indeed.

CV: I have their 14, 15, and 16 in my cellar. For me, 2016 is a significant step above the 2015. I just loved the style. Not that 2015 is any slouch. I've had the 2015 twice and the first time I thought it was a little hot. the second time it seemed perfectly balanced. I actually prefer the 2014 to ...

Spitting doesn’t do it for me Stefan.

JimHow

You would like these guys Nicola.
I was only able to take small sips of their wines because of my stomach problems, man this is going to really suck if I can’t drink wine.

Made a surgical strike last night from Lewiston to Cambridge for an absolutely delightful evening at a Harvard wine tasting class with Howard Kwok and Jerome Aguirre from Chateau Tour Saint-Christophe. They were showing off their wines from Tour Saint-Christophe and Belfont Belcier, as well as a Pom...

Nineteen years ago today I woke up on a Saturday morning. Goofing around on my computer, still feeling the effects of a sediment-filled 1975 Leoville Las Cases from the night before, I stumbled upon an MSN program that allowed even computer simpletons like me to "create your own website." ...

Yesterday I had a couple glasses of 2004 Smith Haut Lafitte, my first alcohol consumption in over five weeks. (Paying for it a little today though. More nuclear tests next week, I think I just need to get that gallbladder yanked. Should know by a week from Monday.) The '04 SHL, now in its 16th year,...

Yesterday I had a couple glasses of 2004 Smith Haut Lafitte, my first alcohol consumption in over five weeks. (Paying for it today though.) The wine, now in its 16th year, was drinking beautifully. I don't think Bordeaux needs to age 20 years in most cases. I think AlexR has spoken on this issue bef...

I believe that is the first 100 I have ever seen Stuart render!

JimHow

Lol. Time flies.

JimHow

If David brings a mag of '89 Lynch and Jacques/Chris each bring a bottle of '89 Baron, perhaps we can do a Lynch/Baron blind tasting?
We usually add a third wine in the tasting.
The old legends at age 20....

1989 Tertre Roteboeuf

1982 Certan de May.

I'm out.

Well, right now I'm just representing him in Maine.
It's possible I could go to Alaska but too early in the process.
It is indeed a fascinating DNA case.

JimHow

First I got acquittals on all six counts in a felony rape/sex trafficking trial involving a black man raping a white prostitute, then I got appointed to represent a guy arrested on a notorious 25 year old rape/murder cold case out of the University of Alaska. I'm having too much fun to retire! https...

JimHow

Still struggling Harry thanks, but I think I'm headed in the right direction.
More tests this week. Haven't had alcohol in a month.

JimHow

It has been a while since I've had it, Claudius, I too have an unopened case in the cellar.
I'll probably blanquito it for another five years before cracking it open.

JimHow

Yeah, the Republicans will not lose the Senate in 2020 because of the particular Republican seats up for re-election.
And of course it would take 67 votes to convict him, not gonna happen....

When are the 2016s going to hit the shelves?

JimHow

So: Unemployment is low. ISIS has been defeated. Crime is down. Gas is at $2. The immigration laws on the books are being enforced. Middle class citizens are paying less in taxes. Obamacare is still largely intact. NATO is paying its fair share. The world is at relative peace. Tom Brady and the Patr...

CV: Most people don't realize it, but we are living in a fascist state. Fox has become the fascist government's media arm. I get a kick out of the outrage over the wall. Orange Head campaigned on the promise of building a big, beautiful wall. Orange Head was elected president. As he promised, Orange...

+1. But Jim was sure Romney was going to win too. It’s a problem we Democrat’s have. I don't recall that, blanquito, but I do recall you being certain that Clinton was going to win. I recall calling the Obama electoral college victories to the exact number. And of course the title to this thread in...

He's going to run for reelection. And he's going to win.
There isn't a single Democrat who thrills me.

Marcus: It stuck in my mind last year when you told me that Amy Klobuchar was known for being abusive to staff members, and I've always looked at her differently after you told me that.

It was interesting to watch how those reports became the narrative of the first day of her campaign.

JimHow

Very good advice indeed Dr. Roberts.

JimHow

Interesting, Claudius, I'm finding I can't eat anything anymore.

JimHow

Thanks Alex, it's been a battle.
I'm starting a four-day rape trial tomorrow involving allegations of a black man raping a white prostitute.
I'm working on a little 3-4 month leave of absence in the spring/summer to try to get my health back.

The 2000 Baron was of course a BWE Wine of the Year, I recall it as brilliant in its infancy, great substance but almost light on its feet.

JimHow

Love the picture.
Judging by recent gatherings, the spirit of BWE lives on as we approach age 20.
Long live BWE.
