Well being diagnosed with a brain tumour makes you try new things thats for sure. Tonight was the night to try one of my Granges.
The 1999 got the nod and didnt disappoint. Smooth as duck sh@#, perfectly structured, plummy, slight pepper and licorice.

We enjoyed it and it complimented the fillet mignons to a tea.

Wish me luck people, surgery Monday to remove the troublesome bastard.

See you on the other side

Good luck!

Talk about carpe diem!!

Although I don't know you rednut, I hope your surgery is successful you recover quickly and are back posting soon.

Fortunately we have a fantastic health system. Best of luck.

Kind regards

Michael

Je te dis merde!

Geez, my bitching about my root canal the last couple of months is petty when something like this pops up.

I wish that all goes well at the surgery Rednut, and you have a very speedy recovery.

Cheers,
Ian

What everyone above has said.

Very best of luck, look forward to your notes on future Grange!

all the best.... you'll be fine

Good luck.

Wine is the healthiest and most health-giving of drinks.

See? Absolutely nothing to worry about. Get that second bottle of Grange ready for next week.

All the best rednut, I expect you'll have something equally great lined up to celebrate the successful outcome. Optimism is the best medicine.

Cheers
Tim

Yes, best wishes and good luck

Jeez! Rednut, my serious commiserations and most sincere best wishes for a quick recovery.

Yep, very best of luck.

Just look forward to drinking more of the gems when you get back.

Cheers

Rednut i dont know you but feel like i do after all your great post's i have enjoyed ...............................Thanks n speak as soon as

Regards Darren n Margaret Clarke

Dont know you either, but couldnt read and not reply, good luck with your surgery.

As for the Grange, I guess thats a good time to open one up, we have had one here for the past 12 years, and have not found the right moment to open it, tossing up selling vs opening lol.. glad you enjoyed yours.

As everyone else wishes, good luck with the op

A good friend of mine is battling a tumour, and he's wrestling that b*tch down to the ground and I hope you do the same (I would put a smiley here, but it would be misplaced and inappropriate)

Good luck Rednut.
I was recently drinking wine with a friend who endured a similar setback last year, he looks as good as new and enjoys a bottle of red as much as ever, if not more so.

Cheers
Michael

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Looking forward to hearing everything was a success Rednut.

Cheers

Mike

Hope it all went well rednut,

To a speedy recovery!

Monghead.

Just make sure you have plenty to celebrate the successful outcome. It'd be a bummer otherwise.

All the best.

Many thanks for all the positive vibes on here. Well I am home after operation number 2 to remove rare bastard tumour and all went very well. Dr's are very happy and a bit surprised I think but radiotherapy to follow in a few weeks time. Once again many thanks for all the well wishes. Will keep you all posted.
Regards
Ian

Thanks Ian - glad to hear everything is going well.


Mike

This is great news. Thanks for letting us know. Good luck with the radiotherapy.

Your specialist recommended that you drink wine while having radiotherapy, right? If not, get a new specialist!

Cheers

Michael

yep, I'm just an echo of the others again - good news Ian.

Keep punchin'!

It's most pleasing to hear of the positive prognosis Rednut. Here's hoping the radiotherapy ensures there's no regrowth. Don't envy you the radiotherapy!

Best

Get down into that cellar right now! Another Grange? I would and then maybe an Bin 90A and then some more.

Great to see you back in the saddle.

Well hi again good peoples.
Radiotherapy is going ok, not something I recommend for everyone espescially on your head but it's a necessary evil and has to be done.
First few days were a bit of a challenge but we got there.

Cant purtake in too much of the red liquid at the moment as it is having a few side effects on me so will have to wait till after the treatment is over.

Still here which is good and am fairly happy about that. Could be lots worse.

Cheers
for now

I'll have a red one for you tonight.
