Donald looking slightly perturbed.
hillary smiling in her response.

JimHow

This is not the Donald of the primary debates.
20 minutes in, I give a slight margin to Donald.
"You've been doing this for 30 years…."

JimHow

Hillary counter-punches strong. "Donald thinks global warming is a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese…."

JimHow

Donald dominating the first ten minutes.
Hillary rebounds with strong answer reminding us of what it was like under Bush.
She's strongest when she attacks Donald.

JimHow

Hillary laughing at Donald's joke. Ugh. Not good.

JimHow

Opening statement round goes to Trump.
Hillary looks tired, pale, is it sexist to say she looks just a touch overly made up?

JimHow

Hillary giving the completely unresponsive answer to the first question that is why I don't like her.

Donald putting out stock talking points from his campaign speeches.

A boring beginning. Donald looks good tonight, looks like he has lost a little weight, his face doesn't look red and bloated.

JimHow

Both smiling but serious.

JimHow

The candidates are on the stage.

JimHow

It's only 90 minutes. Good.

JimHow

David Axelrod: "The beginning is very, very important."

JimHow

Wolf Bitzer: "The stakes could not be higher."

JimHow

The families are in the room.

JimHow

And here we go….

Let's get it on!

JimHow

Yes I plan on doing some blogging, although I'll miss much of the pre game festivities as I have to attend a meeting in my capacity as benevolent dictator of the Coalition Opposed to Lewiston-Auburn Consolidation (COLAC). Remember, Trump usually trounced in the internet polls following each of the p...

JimHow

Tied in CO and PA.
Bad. Very bad.

JimHow

Looking forward to it Carlos...

JimHow

Jacques was that a 97 Mouton we had the first time I met you for lunch in midtown, or a 99?
I think it was a 97 was it not?
AKR was at that lunch too.

JimHow

I don't disagree with you at all Carlos.
Some of these so-called "lighter-styled" vintages have performed well over the years.

JimHow

I drank through a whole case. It is a beauty.

JimHow

Very well done indeed!
St. Julien excelled in 2002.

JimHow

I hope you block off an hour to go to Westminster Abbey Danny!

JimHow

Ha, I'm sitting here having a glass of wine with a couple lawyers after work in Lewiston, Maine. I just responded to an email from Rob Dayton from Chatlotte talking about how much he already misses College Station. It was a REALLY fun time.... I said I wish we all lived near each other and weren't l...

I know, it take a PhD in computer science to figure out how to post a picture on this site.

JimHow

I want pictures!

JimHow

They were both excellent and representative of each vintage.
These two La Conseillantes were a real revelation to me, they were the first time I've really come to understand how beautiful these wines are.

JimHow

Ha yes it has been a while since my last haircut, I'm too lazy to get it cut. The court clerks and even the judges want me to keep it long. It was one of the great BWE weekends. I first met Bill and Jan face to face in February 2001 in Chicago, over 15 years ago, and we immediately hit it off. And R...

JimHow

Of course my tolerance/enthusiasm for younger wines is quite different from the usual participant here, Jon, but it is definitely a beauty!

JimHow

kind of lost in the excitement was that spectacular Burgundy dinner on Saturday night, with a mouthwatering dish prepared by Jan/Sue. Again, like with the Pauillacs, it was great that we were able to analyze the wines over the course of several hours: 1997 Jadot Musigny: One of my wines of the weeke...

JimHow

I think you missed a champagne or two in the list, Bill, no?
The 1999 Winston Churchill took my breath away.
What was the other one that I really liked, I had heard of it but never had it before.

JimHow

The 1961 Leoville Poyferre really held up nicely, it didn't "crack up" or drop off with air, it got better and was singing nicely while we consumed most of it. The 1998 Lafite was classically styled, one of those "drinking-well-now-and-for-the-next-thirty-years" kind of wines. We...

JimHow

…But those Conseillantes were both amazing as well, so, so seductive!
The "problem" with the '89 Lynch is that it is so young!
It opened up by the end.

JimHow

Ha I just watched that video, we had a great time out by that pool. A very relaxing little mini-vacation. It was fun to drink "only" three or four bottles with each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner), where we could analyze each more closely. Yes, I have to admit that 1982 Mouton -- with the ...

JimHow

Very well done indeed, Danny.
Those Cos's from that era are sublime.

JimHow

Well done Chris but don't concede on the 86 Mouton!!

JimHow

With the possible exception of the '89 Palmer, all of the wines performed brilliantly. That Mouton-Lynch-Conseillante pairing was perfection, it was nice to drink those four wines and really have a chance to analyze them over a steak dinner. The Lynch is so young! The Mouton was brilliant and those ...

Burgundy night...

JimHow

Great report, and welcome to Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts!
I agree with you that the 2010 vintage is the greatest ever, although I have not had the Lafite from that year!
