LB=BWE for me as I seem to drink it at most get togethers. I have a single mag of the 89 purchased on release to be saved for a gathering unless I drink the whole thing by myself (I kid of course).

Equally bad in Delaware, our new home.

91 and 94 probably two best vintages of the 90s in Napa and surrounds.

I'm considerably less mature than I was 12 years ago.

Thanks for representing the DC contingent! A great evening.

Great gathering and welcome mrico. If my fading memory is correct, I remember popping a bottle of 2000 LB late one night in our BD's hotel room with MichaelP and Tom from (used to be ) DC. This was during the convention in Glen Ellen. We all agreed that the future would be wearing wear shades for th...

All, sorry I missed this event. Next time! We both received our first Pfizer vaccines this week so heading for normality-whatever that is these days. The work on our future home should be finished by next week, finally!

Anyone who followed the Rudy saga know Kapon's part in it and we all know his conduct at the NYC dinner years ago. I will never ever patronize his store.

I occasionally put my vinums in the dw but my everyday red stem are Reidel restaurant glasses which have survived for years in the dw. Always allow the glasses to cool completely before unloading them.

five years, maybe 96-97-98-99-00. Not sure

nope, 81 had more weak sisters or just average wines than 88-90. Also I would bet the lesser appellations weren't as good but just conjecture.

On the calendar if we're in town. Lots of back and forth to Rehoboth as our renovation finally nears completion.

Speaking of the March dinner.

Not that this has anything to do with St Innocent but deregulating utilities is a bad idea for the consumer. It certainly didn't work in Maryland.

Legal to be served in all 50 states! Congrats to us!

Glad you two are ok. Texas took quite a beating with lots of unhappy Texans, and then there's Cancun Cruz.

Advice from your cardiologist, I presume?

Go away for a few days and look what happens. I liked David's suggestions. Thanks all for your efforts.

Jay Winton

Condolences from both of us. I believe we met him the time we dined at your house on our Maine adventure-a very nce man.

Watch out for those bears

North to Alaska, North to Russia's own! Good luck.

and Andy Kim (D-NJ) helping with the cleanup (performed by people of color abhorred by those who caused the damage). Harris is an embarassment to the state I live in (for now).

A rumor I heard was DOD stalled on authorizing the National Guard. I was NOT impressed by the Secretary of the Army at the mayor's press conference.

Rudy's take per the WP Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, deployed violent imagery Wednesday in describing the president’s efforts to overturn Biden’s win, calling for the White House race to be settled by “trial by combat.” As he addressed a crowd gathered outside the White House awaitin...

An ugly day in DC. Very few of these "people" are wearing masks as our area surges with corona outbreaks. Several people arrested for firearm violations already. While the DC National Guard is present, they are not armed. I worry about the police being out numbered. Trump on at 11 to addre...

I've got it in my Amazon queue, Jacques. So.... What happens this week when the Dems squeak out victories in Georgia on Tuesday, and the Republicans deny the Senate and Presidential results on Wednesday? This should be interesting. and DC gets 4 different pro Trump protests groups on Wednesday incl...

Jay Winton

send mr vino a bottle, I will take one for the team and let you know. Issue resolved...how easy was that?

Jay Winton

Nothing too special except for a wonderful bottle of 2002 Krug. Beautiful floral notes with a super long finish. Drinking so well now but not going anyplace. The only bummer is this was a solo bottle.

Jay Winton

The BD has spoken. Ignore at your peril. 2016 is the last classified vintage I will buy and not much but I will attempt to have some available if you visit me in the ICU. They make a lot of DP and I always wonder about the grape sources. Still in great years, a contender.

Jay Winton

And we've been hacked! Trump says nothing, dropping another turd on our country.

The problem is every Costco that sells wine has different inventories. I subscribe to the Costco wine blog but it is Atlanta based so finding the wines he likes is hit or miss and generally miss. I shop at the DC Costco, the Alexandria based store has a better selection but not enough to make the dr...

I have to say the 59 Lafite sdr shared with us on a jaunt to Florida. The freshness was astonishing. Very hard to pick one.

Jay Winton

Roberto, Joe Belmatti. Where are they now?

Riedel Vinum Bordeaux and Burgundy and they survive an occasional trip through the dishwasher. Jim, this site is not secure so I imagine bots can scan it easily (right now it's a Google bot). I may be totally wrong though.

Jay Winton

One of many mistakes our EX president made was adopting a go it alone stance on trade with China. I hope Biden seeks cooperation from other countries as I think it might be much more effective. Tariffs alone are not the answer.

Jay Winton

One friend claims that there is little or no difference between decanting then double decanting back into the bottle vs. letting the wine sit in the carafe for hours. That is, pouring the wine from bottle into the carafe (decanter) introduces so much air into the system that additional air time in ...

In June 2019, i did a small round trip to DC for a BWE offline, with Jim. On the Saturday night, was it Mr Vino who brought a bottle or a magnum of the 1982 La Dominique? I rated it 93. Anyhow, it was excellent too that night. In New York 03, if I remember well, the 1982 La Dominique finished 4th, ...

Jay Winton

Thanks Nic. A 2008 Gaston Chiquet Special Club and a 2000 Lafon Rochet were uncorked. Neither one thrilled me.

Jay Winton

A nice dinner indeed, Krug is always a nice starter. Yes, the lack of socialization is very tiresome but we will persevere. I brought a 99 Rieussec to my London dinner BC with Ian and his wine group. Young but enjoyable.
