Re: Will you join me in drinking to oblivion as American democracy ends on Tuesday night.
I think the trumpster lost quite a bit of influence last night. Desantis on the rise.

Re: Wines for BWE 2022
I have no 02 burgs but perhaps an 08 St Innocent-I have two or three designated vineyards. Also some champagne. But it is Friday so anything but Bordeaux. Joel's tasting menu will accommodate a variety of reds I believe.

Re: Bordeaux Down the Shore
It was nice to see Joel again and meet Brian and Catalina. Brian's notes are good-the VC was a little over dosed for me, the Bara was delicious. Early days but the 05 La Lagune may be a top tier vintage for this producer. I doubt I'll open another bottle for several years. All wines drank well but i...

Re: Seeking input on BWE convention venues.
I strongly prefer Bistro Bis for Friday. Charlie Palmers seems to be worse every visit. Last year featured missed courses and inedible food for our table.

I bought 20K of 1 series bonds last year and this year. Not much in the portfolio overall but it's tied to inflation so current yield is over 9%. We're slowly dollar cost averaging the proceeds from our home sale last year via our planner's advice. I won't get more complicated in the uncertain world...

A plus for me when in moderation. Two factors account for the diversity of opinions: 1. Variability in palate preferences and 2. Ability of Brett to grow under warmer storage conditions, increasing the effect. +1 I think the latter is a bigger deal on these older bottles. One producer that also has...
