Burgundy night...

JimHow

Great report, and welcome to Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts!
I agree with you that the 2010 vintage is the greatest ever, although I have not had the Lafite from that year!

Agent How reporting from Johnson Base in College Station, Texas.
Arrived yesterday along with the Daytons at the beautiful home of Stefan and Lucy.
Will report back soon...

JimHow

...unless he wins Michigan.

JimHow

Looks like Johnson is killing Hillary in places like Maine and NH.

JimHow

Dead heat. He's even winning in Maine... http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/16/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-poll.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0&referer=http://ww...

Had two mags of this puppy, it is long gone.
It is a very serious effort.
From what I can tell 2005 was indeed kind to Margaux.

JimHow

Hmm didn't think of that, Hound. Imagine if he does get in a car and kills someone, there'd be hell to pay! Two -- not one, TWO -- Maine Supreme Court arguments tomorrow, yuck, one right after another, I guess I'd rather do it that way, get the punishment out of the way in one shot rather than sprea...

How many here have passed out four times over the past several years, once resulting in a very significant head injury? That's my question. I don't know anyone who has fallen four times over a couple of years. Seems unusual to me. Boy that was scary in the courtroom today, we were running late, I h...

JimHow

Old Al looks like he's gonna make it, I guess his defibrillator kicked in.
He's joking with the paramedics.
Of course, he's 8 years younger than Hillary.
Another day in Lewiston District Court....

JimHow

Sitting here in courtroom, one of my prisoners, 60 years old, just had a heart attack right in front of me.

Paramedics are here... "Ah we take care of Al all the time...."

JimHow

Paul Newman was great, The Verdict was one of my favorite movies.

JimHow

Most importantly David do you think most Americans believe there is no connections during 4 falls in the past couple years? The optics of that video were devastating if you ask me.

JimHow

I guess the thing that concerns me, a mere layman/country lawyer, is the fact that she has fallen/feinted what, four times now in the past couple years? What's up with that?

JimHow

I did tell you guys the story about the time I took a leak with Bill Clinton, right?

JimHow

I don't know I'm not a doctor.
I heard a report that pneumonia is the leading cause of death for people over 65.

JimHow

Pneumonia...
What to make of all this?
This is not good.

JimHow

Jesus, looks like she fainted.

JimHow

Maybe she's getting dizzy over today's poll results, which seem to have even more bad news, especially in Nevada, a state she should be winning. Man, Joe should have run.... By the way.... Could it be that she really does have some health problems? That she really is concerningly "low energy&qu...

JimHow

Oh no, another Hillary Clinton health scare at this morning's 9/11 memorial ceremony.
The Republicans are gonna have a field day.

JimHow

Ha yeah I read that article as well, it all sounds very familiar.

I told my buddy Ray we are going to develop a plan to be billionaires by age 70.

JimHow

Well done, Jacques, well done. I was just going to post a note saying to go for it, you only live once.

JimHow

I see that 2011 d'Yquem we had at the estate goes for like $400 per bottle.
Boy I remember tasting it and immediately thinking wow, this is really something, and that my impression wasn't just being influenced by the fact that we were there at the property.

JimHow

Thanks for the perspective, Noah, I'm sure I'm only delaying the inevitable.
I'm guessing I'll take the plunge in 2017.

JimHow

Very nice, the latest 2005 Haut Bergey I had was very lovely, rivaled the 2005 Barde Haut.
I'll probably pick up another case of the 2012.

JimHow

Broken foot on the golf course…
Jesus.
Well we'll just have to drink some champagne

JimHow

The most terrifying thing is that he has apparently pulled even in Michigan which, of course, would mean a Trump victory if he wins that state.
Other reports say he's even in Wisconsin and closing in in PA. Incredible.

JimHow

See, the problem is that, as the national poll numbers even out, her electoral college advantage disappears. (See latest Reuters numbers.) What terrifies me is that she spent the whole summer outspending him by hundreds of millions of dollars in TV ads, and he spent like nothing. He had a miserable ...

JimHow

Psychologically I have a hard time getting past that since we paid $25 on release.
On the other hand, it is a BWE legend….

JimHow

Hmm that's right, Nic, I was even younger than you, at 42. And I am older now than Stefan was at Chicago '01. It's weird, psychologically I am still the age of the young 26-27 Nic and Whuzzup I met back in 2001. Physically, I'm feeling every bit my 57 years. This is definitely a Jean-Nicolas Maltais...

JimHow

The 1998 Pape Clement is understated. Especially, it seems to me, for a 1998. I saw some notes on cellar tracker talking about black fruit. To me I get that nice cherry-and-oak profile that can be so sensuous. I wouldn't call it "restrained" but it is certainly not "fruit-forward.&quo...

JimHow

Once you get the technology installed, you'll be able to hear the Pape Clement speaking to you. LoL I mean, it was definitely a revelation to be able to hear again. At one point he crumpled some paper (on purpose), the crispness of sound of which I have not heard probably in years. Like everything ...

And what about the wine? :) We are not just a wine web site, Timmy, we are a lifestyle site…. Recommended reading: "George F. Kennan: An American Life" If you like biography/history, this is biography at its best. Recommended restaurant in Soho, New York: "King" http://www.grubs...

JimHow

Still assessing it, Ian, but it just keeps blooming during this first hour following uncorking, very positive experience so far after a concerning beginning.

JimHow

So my primary physician referred me for a hearing exam. I can't hear anything in the high ceilinged century old Androscoggin County Superior Courtroom, I have to use the court earphones to hear witnesses and even the judge. I met with this nice doctor, I went into the little testing room and clicked...
