No bikes now. My recreational vehicle now is a bigass pontoon boat with 225 Honda outboard motor.
It's going to six years old, and for even the best producers in the best vintages it would be difficult to expect a Beaujolais to stand up that long.
Best just to make some nice salad vinegar with it.
LOL, we used to laugh at them too when they were confused that their wines weren't on our award-winning wine list, at a top nationally recognized restaurant known to the rich and famous where I was a wine buyer.
They always held their product back and claim 'sold out.' Years later, their cabs would mysteriously show up again as a 're-release' at inflated prices, not commensurate in quality to the price compared to other CA greats.
Not to mention the Fat Cat Cab which has gotten so horribly expensive. I think the price has doubled since I first tried it so many years ago.
Yeah, I realized that after I posted it. I guess I'm still thinking of a few years back, when the dollar was stronger, and lots of interesting foreign stuff from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Chile were showing up because of it.
I think I'll skip dinner tonight. Thanks...
I swear, I misread that at first and I thought that said "In response to a question from a Daily Press reader, a glass of wine should be washed down immediately after with hot water and a mild detergent."
I thought "Hmmm...that doesn't sound right!"
Make mine Oklahoma wine!

I'm going to this festival in a few weeks...

Normally I'd agree and I thought that the Moulin-a-Vent from '01 was really hanging on the edge (IMO) but the '02 I sampled with him was quite fine. I found that you couldn't keep Chiroubles as long.
I would't keep either for more than a week but at less than $4.00 a pop, you could do a LOT LOT worse.
I'm not buying it, mind you. Used to like the stuff but I'll stick to domestics, some bottles from Chile and Australia. Italians are still okay by me but I'm politically on the fence with the Spanish offerings.
Hey, 2J, maybe you can get the cellar to ship a bottle of wine!
Yeah, then there would really be a reason for bubbles to come out of your mouth after drinking too much wine!
Did you tell him that if his son is not already a member of the military, that he was safer with Bush as President? It's not the Republicans who are pushing for a draft, it's the Dems!
LOL
I don't interject politics in business. Besides being an outrageous fool, he is an ass.
He likely wouldn't listen to you, anyway. I'm sure he thinks he's right in everything.
High end wine salesmen may be the most narcissistic group of people on earth. They might even think more of themselves than mountain climbers.
Yes, it was a very disturbing and revolting scene, even more so than some rather squalid, desperate, meaningless sex scenes they seemed to think were necessary.

I made my own wine glass rack years ago. Drove the lumber guy crazy at Lowes. Had no measurements, just held my arms out and said, "I need six pieces of wood this long." For the chain, I counted links. It's a beautiful and very functional glass rack. You would never know a tape measure was missing from the assembly process.
However, it doesn't work for the Reidel O stemless glasses.
Once in a while I've seen a Morgon make it five years too, but very uncommon. But it would have to be a top producer in a Cru Beaujolais for me to touch it the first place.
