It took me a little while to register, but I'm here and ready for a virtual tasting.

Congratulations on the new site! I thought it fitting that my first post here should be about the tasting 0f 2005 & 2006 Bordeaux held in Manhattan this evening. About 600 people slurped, sipped, and smiled as they tasted some of the best Bordeaux has to offer. There were no First Growths poured...
