Re: Rimmerman on 2018 Bordeaux
Hmm... In 2018 I was 59 years old.
I like a lot of my Bordeaux at about the 12-15 year mark.
59 + 15 = 74 years old...

Re: Everyone is super rich in San Francisco
That speech of hers generated millions in contributions for the state Democratic Party. Susan Rice, of all people, has been making noise about running against her. Apparently she considers Maine her state of residence, unbeknownst to like everybody in the state. Good luck with that.

I have four left, maybe I'll uncork one at one point and see how it performs with some air.

Oh I totally agree, CV.
I'm most concerned about how these issues affect those most in need.
in the US I particularly fear for the welfare of the poor, immigrants, females, the elderly, etc.
I'm just curious how Brexit will affect an average white male like me.

I wish I could afford to drink the Ducru first label.
I have one bottle, the 1995, in my cellar, plus a couple half bottles of the 2000.
I have never drunk La Croix since I was so disappointed by the '96.

I predict NH will end up having the best prices in the country.
Prices really seem to have increased.
As Gerry M has explained before, NH doesn't increase prices based on reviews.
