Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

JimHow

Yes, '82 Mouton is pretty good.

JimHow

Thanks for taking the lead on this Bill, I'm just going to follow your lead.
It looks like Wednesday night is an expensive night in SF at a lot of hotels.

JimHow

Wow, I think "hate speech" is a bit strong Chris, no? It's called taking a different position. Not everybody thinks the same way you do. I truly believe a lot of people voted against Clinton because of the types of reasons I mentioned above. They are fed up. And the Democrats just don't ge...

JimHow

Hillary Clinton, like her husband, is a political opportunist. She is owned by Wall Street. She supported bankruptcy "reform," harming poor people and helping rich bankers, because Citi and others gave her millions. She supported the Defense of Marriage Act because it was politically corre...

JimHow

Ah well, it was a combination, I guess. Clinton was a terrible candidate. I mean, this business of giving like one speech every day or two. Trump worked hard for a year and a half, you have to give that to him. In the end he was hitting like six states a day. Can't wait to see who he nominates for t...

wed to sun for me

JimHow

I'm all for staying at the Omni, it would be nice to narrow this down before I leave the country on Thursday morning.

JimHow

It'll be good to see AKR again, I haven't seen him since like 2003 I think. We had some fun times in NYC.

JimHow

I love you, man. And it seems crazy to say the I agree with 95% of what you say, but I disagree with your ultimate point. I agree with you: The Clintons are terrible. Hillary was an awful candidate. I tried to warn you guys that Bernie would have been better, but you and the superdelegates in the De...

JimHow

I agree with almost everything you say, Jacques, but two Fridays before the election Hillary was up by 6 points and she was steamrolling into that last week. She was going to pull it out. Then Comey hit. And she never recovered. And Trump won by the narrowest of margins. I agree with you that these ...

JimHow

Wow sounds like some bad stuff went down in that Comey briefing.
Man, this was a real coup, wasn't it.

JimHow

Wow! A Bordeaux Wine Enthusiast indeed!
Welcome to our site, Mike!

JimHow

I ordered four bottles of 2007 Olga Raffault Picasses and two bottles of the 2009.

JimHow

Timmy being so Trumpian!

JimHow

Yes sounds like Omni would work if the rates are good for Wed to Sun.

JimHow

So if there is an otherwise loss for the year, it is better to sell, take the profit on your investment in the year that you are otherwise going to have a loss, get the taxable income back up to zero or some other tax-favorable level, so you don't have to pay taxes on the gain. Got it.

JimHow

This was a real revelation. I think jckba recommended this to me. I got my stash of 24 mixed Chiantis from MacArthur's. This wine is youthful and sprite. Light colored. Strawberries and spring flowers. The acidity and spice matched up beautifully with the small piece of tenderloin tip that I fried u...

JimHow

Well done, Bill, although I'm planning on staying Wednesday to Sunday rather than Thursday to Monday.

JimHow

Just curious, why would you want to show profits at the end of a tax year for tax purposes? Wouldn't you want to show profits after Jan 1st, so that you don't have to pay taxes on those profits til 2018? In fact, if you are making profits, why would you sell at all (at least for tax reasons)? For ta...

JimHow

Donald Trump, and, perhaps even more significantly, his people, are capable of anything.
ANYthing.
He is an unbalanced megalomaniac.
And, as of January 20th, he can destroy the world -- everything we have ever known -- in fifteen minutes.

JimHow

Don't get us going on the commissioner up here in New England, CV.
He and his boys on Park Ave. are gangsters.
I truly believe they need to be investigated by Congress.

JimHow

One of the things that strikes me is how boundless he is.
We knew the primary and general elections were going to be awful, and they ended up being even worse than expected.
We knew his transition was going to be awful, and has been even worse than we expected.
I tremble at what is coming.

JimHow

Not only will the Democrats not retake the House, they will lose seats in the Senate... yes, even in an off year following the other party's presidential election victory. Something like two thirds of the senators up for reelection in 2018 are Democrats. We are so fucked, it's not even funny.

JimHow

John McCain is the most overrated politician in America.
There is no hope left, Comte. The U.S. government has been taken over by a bullying fascist.
We are truly doomed.

JimHow

Omni is $351 for Wednesday to Sunday.

JimHow

Zachy's had the 2009 Dal Forno Amarone for $186 but their few remaining bottles went before I could get them.

JimHow

They all look fine to me, I'll go with whatever you guys decide.
I haven't done any searching, the Hilton Financial District comes in at $234, I have no idea where that is relative to where w are doing our events.

JimHow

And the 2010 is $23.
PJ's calls this THE benchmark wine of the Loire Valley.

JimHow

Any thoughts on the 2009? It goes for a couple bucks more.

JimHow

Ha funny you should mention that Bobby, I was just looking at that on the PJ's site in NYC. Same price.
I'll pick some up in a couple weeks when I come back through New York from my vacation.

JimHow

I don't know, I've never defended anyone on treason. U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 115 › § 2381 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason Current through Pub. L. 114-38.

JimHow

It's called treason.

JimHow

That is worse than President Trump.

JimHow

Great speech tonight but curious why the other daughter is not on stage.

JimHow

We are so fucked.

JimHow

Ok, I'm dumb. Is the US dollar STRONGER relative to the Thai Baht from 6 months ago, or WEAKER?

JimHow

How is the US dollar doing against the Thai Baht?

JimHow

I have to try a chinon some day.

JimHow

I've only bought 24 bottles so far in the first 10 days.

JimHow

I'd laugh if I didn't feel like crying.
