We'll be there if it is OK not to drink Bordeaux.

[JimHow]

Ha I’m planning a non Bordeaux myself.

[Dandersson]

Would be fun, but I will have to await a zoom during a weekend. Enjoy the wines!

Best, Dan

[JCNorthway]

Sadly, we have another Zoom commitment this evening. But I will still be drinking wine.

[SF Ed]

I'll be out golfing, but have a good time!

[Blanquito]

I’ll be making dinner for the family at that time, so I’ll have time miss it. Have fun!

[Nicklasss]

Me too I can't make it, as it is one of my training/running night.

As non Bordeaux wines will be opened, I feel less guilty!

Have fun.

[Racer Chris]

Not 100% sure yet. If I join in I think I'll open the 2018 La Dame de Montrose I just bought.

[Comte Flaneur]

Have a good zoom...I hope to join the next one if it is a non work day the next day.

[JoelD]

I'll pop in, what non BDX are you guys opening? I can't make a decision as usual

[stefan]

2002 Pommery Louise for us, Joel, to pair with perfectly cooked fish.

[Racer Chris]

It was good to visit with you all tonight. I didn't think I would need to plug my computer in while I was downstairs. Wrong.

[JimHow]

Great time seeing you and everyone else, Chris, thanks to everyone who joined in, it is always an inspirational experience. Great fun!

[Winona Chief]

Another great BWE Zoom. The Champagne, I was drinking was Andre Clouet Rose NV that is made from 100% Grand Cru Pinot Noir, 10% of which is still red wine. Very flavorful but a bit on the dry side. I thought it was well worth the $50 price.

[JimHow]

You looked great, Winona, let’s drink some champagne on that back deck soon...

[dstgolf]

Sorry I missed it but Golf Club AGM dragged on for almost 3hrs!! Look forward to the next one.

[Gerry M.]

Sorry I missed it, hopefully next time.

[Nicklasss]

Great to join for 30 min and see everyone.

And i finally found an appointement for my first vaccine shot. It was about time.

[JimHow]

Looking good, Nicola, see you soon.

[JoelD]

Great to see everyone. Glad we're inching closer to normal. Also glad I opened the L'eglise clinet 1997 tonight. It didn't need a lot of air but has turned into a really beautiful claret from a cool vintage. Very BWE style wine. Great color, pretty fruit and floral notes plus just enough structure to keep me sipping and interested without gulping. Yet somehow i've polished off almost the whole bottle which I rarely do on my own

[Racer Chris]

Jim, I checked the abv of the 4 vintages of La Dame de Montrose in my cellar.
2010, which is my personal highest scoring vintage came in at 14%.
2014 and 2016 are at 13.5%.
While 2018 is 14.5%.
I'm tempted to try ordering a case of the 2014 from Bayway in NJ (for less than $40 delivered). I have a case of the 2016.

[JimHow]

The 2016 just continues to be a real pleasure for me, the 2018 sounds a little pricey but I'll try to find some 2018 and 2019 when they hit NH.
I've got eleven bottles of the 2016 left, I need to keep my hands off of them for a year or two.

[Musigny 151]

Sorry I missed it too . Glued to the TV playing an NFL
draft game I devised with my son. Should have come to the Zoom, he thrashed me.

[AKR]

Nice seeing/hearing you all, even if you could not see/hear me as I had logged in via remote/VPN work computer (which has some wonkiness with its camera/audio)

I had a couple glasses of a Paso Robles cab, which was blocky/chunky/4 square

[Jay Winton]

Let us get moved and we will participate. Did I mention how much I HATE the moving process. BTW, If anyone if the DMV is interested in some audio gear, pm me.

[tim]

Sorry I missed it. I'm in Paris for a few weeks, and couldn't do a 1am tasting on my current schedule

Will be back stateside soon.
