Welcome Racer Chris!
2010 strikes again.

JimHow

I'll be having dinner with Michael P this week, will report back.

JimHow

That is indeed a great picture.
You guys look like a million bucks!

JimHow

Great pic!

I take full credit for all the lifetime, worldwide friendships that have emanated from this site.

Thank you. Thank you very much. No applause necessary.

JimHow

Sounds like 2015 Giscours is the real deal. Okay, that solidifies it for me, I'm buying a case.

JimHow

We used to have statesmen like George Mitchell… here, in perhaps his finest hour:

Has there been a change in the winemaking there? I never recalled this wine being any great shakes before 2009-2010.

JimHow

I saw that, CV, I'm tempted by 2015 Giscours. And the price seems right.

JimHow

My recollection of that wine is that it was stewed.

JimHow

Interesting article Danny.

A spectacular campaign between two vintage hard-ballers is about to begin. It will be what Nixon used to call a “rock’em, sock’em campaign.”

JimHow

Should I buy 6 bottles of the 2004 Felsina at that price?

JimHow

Well, I'm with you there. Trump is vile. That's why I'm even more frustrated by the weakness of the Democratic candidate, but maybe Trump would beat whomever the Democrats would put up.

JimHow

You guys do realize that Donald Trump is going to bring up Bill Clinton's rape history, as both governor of Arkansas and as president of the US, right? I mean, do you guys really understand how low this campaign is going to go? I don't think you do. This race is going to sink to depths never imagine...

JimHow

Fair enough Jal. Is a rape 20 years ago any less serious than a rape last week?

JimHow

Donald Trump says Bill Clinton "raped" a woman. What do you think, liberal Hillary apologists. Is that impossible? Is that mere politics? Will that have no impact on the race?

If this costs Hillary votes, is it because Bernie is still in the race?

JimHow

That's a great wine, Nic, I think I paid about $60-65 for it. You should buy 2-3 bottles at that price but you will want to sit on them for 20 years.

JimHow

I'm with Bernie:

Time for us to leave the Democratic Party:

I won't vote for Hillary. I won't for Trump, either. But I won't vote for Hillary.

JimHow

Trump leading Clinton by 3 points, Bernie leading Trump by 4 points in latest poll:

Thank you for all of your efforts, Debbie Wasserman.

JimHow

I'm glad you are feeling so confident about our possibly-soon-to-be-indicted nominee, because, myself, I'm not feeling it.
I'm sensing a Trump tsunami coming.

JimHow

David: Your candidate will win the nomination. But you may rue the day that she did.

JimHow

Our visit to du Tertre was one of the highlights of our highlight-filled trip to France last year. What a pleasant host we had.

JimHow

Gronk says everything is gonna be ok.

JimHow

I'm surprised you are so anti-Bernie, Patrick, I would've thought you would be in his corner.

JimHow

We had a number of those wines at a Stuart dinner including the 61, 82, 83, 86, and 90, what other vintages did we have David?
That 1990 Margaux has taken my breath away on the two occasions I have had it.
And that '99 is not far behind as well.
Great notes Ian!

JimHow

I see. So if Hillary loses in November it will be Bernie's fault. And if Paul Krugman says it's so it must be then. <rolls eyes> Maybe Hillary not doing so well has nothing to do with Bernie. Maybe it's because she supported the Defense of Marriage Act. Maybe it's because she supported the "cri...

JimHow

Come join the revolution Patrick. Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. Gee those are serious allegations made by Clinton forces, surely someone has been arrested by now on terrorism or criminal threatening charges...

JimHow

Ha yes I knew you were still alive Francois, as fresh and fit as a 2010 DRC Romanee Conti. Congratulations on your 50th!
I am pleased to see you drinking young wines!
We will have to get you to a BWE convention soon.

JimHow

Holy smoke.

JimHow

No, I just veered off into Sauternes 2015. I have no idea about Sauternes 2013.

JimHow

like $21 for 2015 Coutet half bottles at zachys

JimHow

Coutet 2015 seems to be the buzz….

JimHow

Here is part 2 of the Adouze interview….

Absolutely classic stuff.

Sigh. Crazy, it has been a year since the epic France trip…

Where is time going!

JimHow

Francois is dead? When did he die? I just saw him last May:

Noah:

The 2013 Pontet Canet was good but scarce.

Here is the video of our BWE tasting at La Lagune last spring, including the 100% Cabernet 2013 La Lagune:

I had a corked 71 Latour once.

You think 71 is hard, try finding 58.

JimHow

Baby doll.

Awesome pictures, Ian, thanks for posting them.

JimHow

Jon: Gotta get you and Paula up to the Great State of Maine for some lobstah!

JimHow

I think 2012 is more like 1985 + 2002, smooth, feminine, aromatic like 1985, but understated and with a deceptive amount of structure to it, like 2002. Of course, the complication here is that 2002 is weak on the right bank while 2012 is stronger on the right bank. 2012 seems to have a beautiful bal...

…at a How family birthday party gathering. 2012 Barde Haut: More of the same, the youthfulness and finesse of the wine really on display in this multi-bottle gathering, but the class really shining though. I love this stuff. 92 points. 2010 Brunello Altesino: As expected, a crowd favorite, the first...
