Re: President Trump
Today's Tweet and total disregard for humanity and common sense is a glaring example of his psychosis. No way he stays.

Re: What are we drinking in lockdown?
1990 Leoville Poyferre for a landmark birthday. Consumed over 2 nights with a 375 recork tonight, this is a wonderful St. Julien. Fully mature and nicely textured, no need to wait on this any longer.
Tomorrow night we will open more celebratory gems at the gathering at my house.

Re: President Trump
Trump is only concerned with getting re-elected and the Repub agenda, nothing more. While DC was burning he panders to the gun people by mention the Second Amendment and then pulls the Major Frank Burns bible stunt to appeal to his base.

It was more a product of 06 heat than Seven Springs. I just could not get a good handle on what this wine was about. My la...
