+1. But Jim was sure Romney was going to win too. It’s a problem we Democrat’s have. I don't recall that, blanquito, but I do recall you being certain that Clinton was going to win. I recall calling the Obama electoral college victories to the exact number. And of course the title to this thread in...

JimHow

He's going to run for reelection. And he's going to win.
There isn't a single Democrat who thrills me.

JimHow

Marcus: It stuck in my mind last year when you told me that Amy Klobuchar was known for being abusive to staff members, and I've always looked at her differently after you told me that.

It was interesting to watch how those reports became the narrative of the first day of her campaign.

JimHow

Very good advice indeed Dr. Roberts.

JimHow

Interesting, Claudius, I'm finding I can't eat anything anymore.

JimHow

Thanks Alex, it's been a battle.
I'm starting a four-day rape trial tomorrow involving allegations of a black man raping a white prostitute.
I'm working on a little 3-4 month leave of absence in the spring/summer to try to get my health back.

The 2000 Baron was of course a BWE Wine of the Year, I recall it as brilliant in its infancy, great substance but almost light on its feet.

JimHow

Love the picture.
Judging by recent gatherings, the spirit of BWE lives on as we approach age 20.
Long live BWE.

JimHow

Wow! I was planning on blanquitoing my sealed case of 2000 Pichon Baron.

JimHow

Thanks, my doctors don't seem too worried about the "kidney disease" thing, as i understand it I'm at the border between stage 1 and 2, which basically means I have to go to the bathroom a little more often. My kidney functions have been good during this whole ordeal. I'm optimistic I'll m...

I didn’t think the game was a snoozer at all. It was good old smash mouthed defensive football, like in the olden days. Great defense, great special teams, a night of tense field position battle. Until the end the teams were either tied or no more than three points apart. It was like a great pitcher...

JimHow

Just win baby.
Incredible team.

JimHow

Thanks everyone, it has been awful. No pancreatitis, and my liver and kidney functions are good, even though they diagnose me with stage 2 kidney disease. They showed me the pictures of the ulcer from the endoscopy, the doctor seems to think it can be treated pretty easily. My gallbladder is "s...

JimHow

Oh I'll be in Denver Patrick don't worry, and I'm confident I'll be able to sip on a fine northern Medoc or two in moderation.
I had to miss out on a big Stuart 1961 dinner in Ft. Lauderdale last night, had my flight booked and everything....

JimHow

Yeah, you are right, I truly believe 90% of my problems are work-related. The stress from my job creates an imbalance in the rest of my life, I don't eat right, I drink a little too much, I don't exercise, etc. I really have been taking dramatic steps to scale down my practice in recent months, and ...

JimHow

Unfortunately due to various health issues I won't be able to consume alcohol into the forseeable future so I don't think I'll be able to make that trip down to Florida, Orlando and Bobby G. I'm hoping to get back into shape by Denver. Been in the hospital most of the past week, morphine is my new f...

JimHow

I'm going to make a bold statement:
With the possible exception of the 1991, I've never been blown away by a Latour.

Thanks DavidG, I need to live more healthy so I can enjoy the 2016 vintage with you, Achilles, er, Stefan, and the others at the 20 year mark. I now understand how people die from the flu!

JimHow

Lying here in a hospital bed reading from my iPhone feeling the same as Stefan.
Man, I’ve felt like I’ve tasted death this week. Adds a perspective on whether to buy 2016 at age 60.

JimHow

C'mon, Dave, one LAST vintage, like Odysseus, Rocky, Ulysses, Brady/Gronk, Burt Reynolds, etc.... Come with me, my noble mariner.... It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Stefan, whom we knew. Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'...

JimHow

nice score williamP

JimHow

Man, this article has got me really obessessing about 2016!

JimHow

Yeah I had my office number looped into my cellphone so I was a little surprised to get a call from a number located in China. I talked with him for nearly a half hour, I mentioned your name Alex. Very nice fellow. He's going to be doing a presentation to the same Harvard undergrad wine tasting clas...

JimHow

What a super nice guy.
He read some of our notes here about his wines.
I'm going to be meeting up with him at Harvard at the end of February.
He expressed interest in doing an event in the future when his team in the U.S., and has invited us to Chateau St. Christophe when we are in town.
Life is good!

JimHow

Just bring some Champange, Bordeaux, and/or Sauternes.
Like we do EVERY Thursday night dinner.
We don't need to overthink this.

JimHow

I may have been overly harsh on th 1996 Lynch, Ed.
It had everything in place. I just have fond memories of it when it was young and I think I enjoyed it more then.

JimHow

I find in many cases that 2003 Sauternes/Barsacs are as good as - or even better - than the 2001's. Especially if you like a honeyed note.

Agreed. At least in my limited experience.

JimHow

In the past week I uncorked a 1996 Lynch... it was in a good place, very nice, but nothing out of this world. It was much better when it was young. 93 points. 1998 Pavie from half bottle was a disappointment, fragrant chocolate and wood on the nose but kind of heavy and chunky on the palate, like th...

JimHow

Yeah, that 2003 GPL is truly a disaster, it has been from the beginning.

JimHow

It's an unbelievable story, involving two six foot tall female Russian "interpreters."
We were with Daniel Ellsburg in the defense ministry building in Moscow.
I was kidnapped with this guy Brad Martin from Tennessee who went on to become the CEO of Saks Fifth Avenue.

JimHow

Indeed, I paid exactly $100 each for four bottles at Garnet.

If Nicola gets arrested inChina we will send in a BWE rescue team.
I was once an American spy in Russia, you know.

JimHow

I think I have three 2002 Lafites in the cellar.
It is a beauty, as I recall.

JimHow

Ok, I will bite, what does AFWE stand for.

JimHow

Mmm there is a sweet spot there in 2002 up and down the left bank but especially in that Pauillac/St. Julien confluence.
So classic.

JimHow

Man this convention is turning epic.
I count 19 in that list.

JimHow

Ok I'm sold on it, gonna check it out.

Check for Friday and Saturday night is in the mail.

Just watched "The House that Jack Built" at the cinema last week.
Very sick. The strangulations were very realistic, just like my clients do it.
