I'm still wondering what the status of that fellow Ted is, he supposedly had Sociando and Cantemerle in stock about 6 weeks ago but I haven't heard back from him.

Re: Spelling check
I have no problem using “Bordeauxs.”
“Bordeaux’s” of course would be possessive.
“Bordeaux” as a plural is acceptable as well, like lobster and deer.
But this is not like chateau/chateaux. It would not be “chateauxs.”

I'll never separate MichaelP from his case of 89 Lynch Bages
For several years I've been trying to convince Michael P to sell me his pristine case of 1989 Lynch Bages. $250 per bottle, I have felt, would have been fair. $3,000 for the case. We could have cut out the middlemen, the 20% commissions, taxes, shipping, etc., on both ends. But, tonight, two lousy b...

Yes, they usually have great deals by summer's end, both 15% off and $25 gift card deals.
Although the '16s seem slow in arriving this year.
Are any in stock yet Gerry M?

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I too have about 800 bottles in my cellar.
I too drink basically one night per week, sometimes two.
I will buy exactly 200 bottles from the 2016 vintage to round out my cellar, and that will be the end of it.
Since I hope to live to (only) about 80, that should be about 50 bottles per year.

Just got off a conference call with the judge.
Looks like the trial will commence on June 24th, which is good, that means I'm free to be in DC for the 14th-15th.
I'm in for Saturday the 15th, and if we have enough of a critical mass in town on that Friday the 14th, you can count me in!

I've loved the 2016 Tour St. Christophe, La Dame de Montrose, Prieure Lichine, Fonroque, and Barde Haut.
it does indeed appear to be a profound vintage. The wines will last a long time.
Really rich color in all of them.
