Re: Reviving the summer buying freeze
Yes, they usually have great deals by summer's end, both 15% off and $25 gift card deals.
Although the '16s seem slow in arriving this year.
Are any in stock yet Gerry M?

Very disappointed that the Brothers Blanquito won't join us but I look forward to seeing everyone! Can't seem to settle this manslaughter case but the trial isn't starting until June 24th so that gives me a whole week to recover. The judge wanted to schedule a hearing on some pretrial motions for th...

Ha other than about 15 Germans, I have exactly one white in my cellar, JC, a bottle that Tom and Gail brought to my house last fall.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I too have about 800 bottles in my cellar.
I too drink basically one night per week, sometimes two.
I will buy exactly 200 bottles from the 2016 vintage to round out my cellar, and that will be the end of it.
Since I hope to live to (only) about 80, that should be about 50 bottles per year.

Re: Let's get together in DC June 14-15
Just got off a conference call with the judge.
Looks like the trial will commence on June 24th, which is good, that means I'm free to be in DC for the 14th-15th.
I'm in for Saturday the 15th, and if we have enough of a critical mass in town on that Friday the 14th, you can count me in!

What did you think of the 2016 Labegorce CJD?
I've loved the 2016 Tour St. Christophe, La Dame de Montrose, Prieure Lichine, Fonroque, and Barde Haut.
it does indeed appear to be a profound vintage. The wines will last a long time.
Really rich color in all of them.
