In their own words, when its hot in the cellars, they "open the windows".

None of that nitrogen cooled fermentation vats UC Davis nonsense!

Actually chilled gycol is used.

Hard to pass up 2012 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese @ 24/btl.
Bought a case.

Well that was a bust.
There's a world of difference between JJ PRUM and SA PRUM.
You can keep that SA PRUM......

I loved the 86 Talbot. Been good since release. Not expensive. Never seemed to be covered up by 86 tannin. I liked the 88 Climens. Not a powerful vintage for Climens so may seem weak (compared to 86). But there's something about that little bitterness in the Climens finish that grabs my attention. B...

FWIW Pappa Doc is a German wine expert.

RDD

I thought the 1989 was wonderful too.

RDD

The 86 Rauzan-Ségla was great too!

RDD

Eiswein was 2012. Glad everyone liked it!

RDD

I am bringing an old school Cote Rotie and a Hermitage.

RDD

Can't wait.
Weather perfect.
Garden planted.
My Bro Mike out of hospital and at HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leftover meatball pizza and 1995 Andre Brunel Les Cailloux for lunch rocks!

RDD

Probably bring some Cordiers.

RDD

Marco is done......
He'll be back in 4.

RDD

A case of 2014 Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Pierres Blanches.
Needed some decent inexpensive Chardonnay.

We'll be there.
You bring flutes and I bring my harps!

RDD

That Jimmy Suckling. He's still around, huh? You know, I get the feeling that Cantemerle is a property that is going to be great every year. They really seem to have their act together. They seem to have struck a nice balance of taking the best of modern winemaking without sacrificing the best aspe...

RDD

I'll bring some German and old school Northern Rhone.

RDD

Pavie Macquin

RDD

Susan and I are booked.

JimHow wrote:Hmm maybe we should feature sweet wines at the convention!

OKAY

I'll bring 1989 Lynch Bages.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

RDD

I hope they pull through Rob. Even with the bike lanes in our city, I've never felt great/safe riding around. People are meddling with their phones and its easy for them to smack a cyclist. Maybe 25 years ago a guy smashed into me while I was biking to school in Boston. Right of way didn't matter m...

Just got the word Mike is moving his left side some this morning and responding to requests to squeeze his right hand and wiggle his right toes. All his level are stable . You can't keep a good man down. The prayers are working . KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother is in very serious condition.
Woman mowed four of them down.

This is Susan posting on Rob's computer.......Great time with Jim and Nick and Zxi (sp?) Looking forward to seeing you both again in DC (You can do it Nick!) And we have some great pictures! As usual, meeting up with BWE'ers is like meeting up with old friends and no time has passed between!!!!!!

RDD

Saturday was steaks.
1994 Dalla Valle
1987 Dunn
2008 Amarone Dal forno Romano
2011 Yquem

The a night of blues.

Jim/Nic can fill in details.

RDD

Jay I may have been drunk on wine.

RDD

You nailed the notes Nic. The venue was actually Barringtons. And I thought they did a very nice job accommodating a BWE takeover. I was so excited to have great friends in town. I was all over the map guessing Jim's mystery wine as my mind was just swirling with the great vibes of the evening. I go...

Stockdale. Quayle. Cheney. Palin.
What are these people thinking?

I loved Palin with Trump the other week.
"We're going to drill baby drill."

Like crude oil crashed.....
You can't get money to do no drilling.

We are in for an awful nine months ahead, and beyond.

Where's the admiral when you need him.

"Gridlock! ...errrr, Gridlock."

He was Perot's Sarah Palin.

So if it's not in his house and other personal assets, and it's not in his business real estate and inventory, where the heck is the $60+ million that has gone missing? Did he lose that much money in offering his 40%-off sales over the years? And if so, is this a "crime" or is it just ins...

AKR I fail to see any humor in that.
You have friends that died over there?

Susan and I.

82 Canon is great. The 89 Canon is great also.
