I'll go even further, CV.
He gets reelected.
Who among the Democrats beats him?

JimHow

I would have to go back to the notes from the DC convention, I remember having about 6 absolutely sick glasses of wine in front of me at one point, even before Stuart’s 82 and 86 Moutons. And those Haut Brions from Timmy’s party, including Ian’s 1982 Ausone. And that’s ‘67 Yquem was earth moving. As...

So is that what happens to a wine when it gets past its prime, it becomes “oxidized”?

JimHow

We’re going to Disney (Universal)!

You should see what’s going on up here in the Maine second CD recount in the House race that was won by the Democrat in the first ever ranked choice voting race. The Republicans are making up these stories that people erroneously voted for the Republican incumbent in the first CD, that is, that ther...

What is premature oxidation?

JimHow

I'm telling you, we are going to drink some Bordeaux in Orlando this winter.

What is the cause of premox?
What is "premox"?

JimHow

Is premox the fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrom of wine maladies, i.e., does it really exist?

JimHow

There used to be a guy who went by the mysterious name "Whuzzup__" who, if my memory serves me, was adamant that the problem of premox was greatly overrated and i believe he felt it was actually quite rare.

JimHow

Two thumbs up to the jckba coca Cola with steak and Bordeaux tradition.
I can see how it works!

We were in Paris on that first weekend of the protests, walking west from near the Louvre up the Champs Elysees, all of a sudden we were mixed in with all the yellow jackets, they were barricading off the streets, revving their motorcycles, blowing whistles, most of them were just like normal people...

JimHow

lol that wine gave me a headache as well.

JimHow

Sounds like a plan, let’s do it!

JimHow

Orlando Bobby!!
Great to hear from you!
I agree with you, that 2014 northern Medoc vintage is tremendous.
I’ve really enjoyed that 2000 Sociando, I give it a slight nod over the also great 2003.
I’ll be spending some time in Florida this winter....

JimHow

It was stellar last night. Such a unique wine!

JimHow

I think Rachel Maddow is going to orgasm over this Michael Flynn sentencing memo.
This better lead to something, because otherwise: "Lock him up."

JimHow

This puppy is howling tonight.
This is one of the good bottles.
Still young but oh so bell pepper tasty!

JimHow

That is because I am kind and benevolent....

Just watched the Bob Dole salute to George Bush. Such a powerful moment.
Those old World War II guys just get me every time.

Long day in a suppression hearing for an alleged drug dealing client named Johnny Walker (I kid you not), let's see how this little filly is doing....

Fun read, AKR, thanks for posting.

JimHow

Ha interesting observation Bill.
Perhaps the Webb telescope will give us the answers, if it ever gets off the ground.

JimHow

The 2000 and 2005 Canon La Gaffeliere are two different wines.
That 2000 you brought to the DC convention dinner was one of my wines of the night.
2005 and 2009 Canon La Gaffeliere gave me headaches.

JimHow

2000 was better when it was young.

JimHow

I have found this wine to be overly alcoholic.
Sounds like the alcohol was in check.
Why wait longer to drink up.

JimHow

A good article this weekend on the pitifulness of the Clintons.
Hillary wants to run again. Good grief.

September 1991, greeting the president off his helicopter at the athletic field at my alma mater, Lewiston High School. It seems like yesterday. What a great day that was. A completely different way of doing business in government, when Democrats and Republicans could actually talk to each other. He...

I came across this great Frontline video on the Trump 2016 campaign that I had never seen.
Anybody who is convinced that he can't be reelected in particular should watch.

I voted Bordeaux of course.
It really wasn’t that hard to vote for only one. It’s just a poll.

JimHow

Give me 1990 GPL anytime over 2003. ooh, boy, I distinctly remember you praising a 2003 GPL you had with Alex, Nicola, I remember it because I thought that wine was crap. Personally, I think 2003 wines, left and right bank, have been consistently very delicious. And i think we have historically see...

I uncorked my last bottle of 2004 Pol Roger with my law school buddies earlier this month and it was in a good place.

JimHow

Gerry, why was there no Pol Roger in stock this year in New Hampshire?

Just got the new books delivered yesterday on De Gaulle and Churchill, looking forward to them.

I had a few bottles of Clos des Lambrays back in the day when it was like $25 per bottle, it has now gotten a little pricey for my budget.

Thanks for the summary GBF, Meyney really seems like a property that has its act together.
I’m picking up my case of 2016 Meyney in the coming week.
