Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were my political heroes, now we are reduced to Aaron Rogers and Jesse Ventura. I do think we are broken beyond repair.

JimHow

Wow! My brother is gonna go up to western northern Maine. Hope the weather holds!

JimHow

Not sure I've had the 2014 Cantemerle but I imagine that vintage + that estate was a nice result. I'll have probably consumed a case each of 2019 Cantemerle and 2020 Cantemerle before you even touch your next 2014 Cantemerle, Stefan, it's hard to imagine that wine will improve dramatically over the ...

If Aaron Rodgers ever comes within 8 million miles of even the VICE presidency of the United States, I will move to the furthest time zone away from Lewiston, Maine, what is that, Taiwan, I think.... I would vote for Orange Head and Marjorie Taylor Greene before I would vote for Aaron Puke Rodgers.

JimHow

Ha ha, just leave him some of the basic Felina chianti, esl, he'll be happy.
JC is one of the very first original BWEers, we met him and his amazing better half Paula in Chicago in February 2001 at the first annual BWE convention.

JimHow

They have such a great selection!
I’m going to splurge on some Dal Forno Amarone when they arrive.

JimHow

I dunno, Ognik, after watching this video I think I'm going to stock up and not wait five years. We got like hardly any snow this winter here in the Great State of Maine. I uncorked a bottle of 2013 Dom Perignon in Montreal with the Canadien BWEers. It was delicious, nice and ripe, it didn't seem to...

JimHow

I'll probably drink through my cases of 2019 and 2020 Cantemerle in the next five years.

JimHow

Thanks JC I just ordered ten bottles of the Montrose and two of the 2019 GPL.
I told them that either you or I will pick them up, I'm going to be heading down that way next week.
Thanks for the tip, I've been wanting to get my hands on some '14 Montrose!!!!

JimHow

Oh man how can I not? Which store do I order from? I’m going to be heading down I-95 in the next couple of weeks.

JimHow

Mmmm doggie.

JimHow

Very well done indeed, JC! I had the 2014 La Dame and it is beautiful, I can only imagine how great the first label is. I have one bottle in. my cellar.

JimHow

JimHow

I haven't had a Rauzan Gassies in years, what is the state of quality of the wines?
Seems to me the Orlando Bobbys had it in the last year or two.

JimHow

Very nicely done e!
I've been very happy with the service at Saratoga, I should be getting a couple cases this week.

JimHow

I think you would like that 2014 Larcis Ducasse, Nicola.

JimHow

I voted St Emilion but that doesn’t mean I dislike it. They are all spectacular, it’s just that somebody has to come last.

JimHow

This wine was absolutely delicious. A little shy on the nose at first but it was open for business on the palate right from the start. I’ve always said 2014 was equally great in the right bank and this is another example. I regret that this was my only bottle as it seems hard to find and the prices ...

JimHow

Oui Oui.

JimHow

I can't remember which vintage we tasted at Branaire, but I really liked it. Maybe Tom members.

JimHow

Nice! I've bought two cases of it.
It's gotten a little hard to find now though.

JimHow

We really enjoyed our visit to Branaire Ducru in October. Did you know that their property is spread out in like, I dunno, about ten different parcels all throughout St. Julien. It's not one contiguous property.

JimHow

Mmm it's been a while since I've had a Lafleur Petrus, and Branaire Ducru is becoming one of my favorite annual best buys.

JimHow

Man, I thought the 2019 Cantemerle was "the best Cantemerle ever...." Until I tried the 2020 Cantemerle! The 2020 Cantemerle is gorgeous, much different styled from the 2019, richer with more upfront fruit. The 2019 is more classic and reserved. They are obviously at different stages of ev...

JimHow

I was going to say, that was the golden era of over the top Parkerism. I have one bottle of 2014 Larcis Ducasse, I don’t remember ever having tried that wine.

JimHow

9 x 2019 Meyney
3 x 2019 Corbin
12 x 2020 Cantemerle

JimHow

2008 La Dominique.... a "catastrophic" 80 point rating...
"Almost undrinkable."

Mr. Maltais, we need to have a talk....

JimHow

I just watched the first five minutes, will finish it over the weekend. I'm curious to get to the ending and its conclusions. I'm honestly wondering whether I am going to be more positive or more depressed. I wonder what Dom Perignon would think? I think he used to harvest In November, no? Thanks fo...

JimHow

Definitely a bigger, richer, fruit-forward wine than the 2019....
That is in no way intended as a criticism of 2019, it is just a distinctively different style.

JimHow

Letting it breathe a little....

JimHow

I'm telling you, 2019 Cantemerle at $28 is about as good a deal as you'll find out there. It's a property whose style I love at a very nice price.

JimHow

I am very proud of you guys. You are Bordeaux wine enthusiasts. Bordeaux wine enthusiasts extraordinaire. Very well done. Very well done indeed!

JimHow

Ha yes that Petrus was one of the first bottles I purchased when I started collecting, I got it for $275 in New Hampshire, I'll never forget the woman cracking open the (lone) case (in the New Hampshire system) in front of me and asking, "How many do you want?" Like an idiot, I said, "...

JimHow

I know, what is going on, what am I doing wrong! I'm very limited when it comes to internet technology.

JimHow

Wow, sounds like we can't go wrong with 2019/2020, and the prices seem good too.

JimHow

You are a true Bordeaux Wine Enthusiast, O, and your insight is much appreciated here, even though you "only" rank BWE-favorite Meyney at 90 points.... It's okay... It's ok. I'll give you a pass.

JimHow

2020 La Lagune for me was brilliant, my La Lagune epiphany, seriously, after 24 years, it finally dawned on me what the mighty stefan sees in this, the property that shall otherwise remain nameless.

JimHow

Well look at you! A case of 2020 Montrose! Well done, marcs. Very well done indeed!

JimHow

If you have to pick one or an asteroid is going to destroy the earth, GBF, which do you like better, the 2019 or the 2020 La Lagune?

JimHow

Nice Bill. I found that fruit forward profile with the 2020 Sociando and to a lesser extent the 2020 Langoa. I really like the 2020 La Lagune.
