Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

JimHow

I love these BWE pictures, where nobody deserves any thanks more than anybody else, where EVERYbody deserves thanks for participating, whether they travel from thousands of miles away, or from continents away, or whether they contribute fancy wines or not so fancy wines, or whether they even attend ...

JimHow

....And for those who couldn't make it as well, but continue to support this site. It doesn't matter what wines you bring. As a fine young man from Canada once said here: "BWE is about the people." These conventions are truly an uplifting experience every year. I just don't see this level ...

JimHow

We'd love to have you, tiesface!
It's a very friendly group.

One of the great moments in BWE history, Nicola invokes the lyrics of Paul McCartney singing to John Lennon....

Thanks Arv I've had a bunch sent to me but they're a little tricky to reformat.

Well done, BH. Hey I notice you took down your blog site, feel free to put it back up.
I'm convinced your legit!

A few of the Denverites. These people were super nice, we felt very welcomed into their town.

The 1989 Lynch Bages was brilliant. I exerted executive authority and poured myself a large pour from the magnum. At first it was closed like a drum. I kept it in my glass for the whole evening. It took about four hours, but by the end of the evening it was immense. Toward the end of the night I als...

JimHow

And that '59 d'Yquem.
OMG.
I shamelessly went back up to Stuart and begged for a second pour.

JimHow

The 1989 vintage is still very young, even I believe many of the wines could benefit from a blanquito or two. Although, I will say that that 1989 Petrus was immense. The finish just went on and on. Breathtaking. When we had it at a Stuart dinner a while back (I think Tom brought it?) it was very clo...

We missed you my man but toasted you. Nicola gave one of his greatest speeches ever, complete with Paul McCartney love song lyrics to John Lennon. It was an absolutely spectacular weekend. I'll be in the DC area in the next month or so, we should round up some of the mid-Atlantic subchapter for a Bo...

Stuart and Kathy and some 1989 wine from the right bank I think I've heard about....

JimHow

Ah, yes, with the 1989 Lynch Bages en magnum, of course, donated incredibly by David G, along with a mag of '89 Angelus, even though he could not make it at the last minute. The '89 Lynch was my wine of the night, along with '89 Petrus (a finish that lasted for minutes), '89 La Mission, and 1959 (ye...
