In your dreams, comrade.

This is laughy daffy coming from you. Gordzukes it IS you!

Heavens to Murgatroyd! We aught to hook you up in conversation with Serge. That would surely be some frumious jabberwookie!

As usual, you miss the point. I know what Cabernet Franc tastes like. My question is, do you?

What DOES Cabernet Franc taste like anyway?

I would never guess this wine was 75% Cab Franc and 25% Cab Savignion and Merlot. And why is that, Serge? I know you might say that I am not Parker... No, we'd never say that, Serge. You're the master of making something out of nothing, even if you do it while bumping off one wall after another.

..except with you, TORB

TORB will forget more about wine than you will ever know.

It all comes down to a price with you, doesn't it Serge?

Amn't so sure spellink would help your sintax, though.

"Despite the slight corking..."

Are you talking about TCA taint?

sung like a canary after being decanted for 45 mins. Mature, vibrant fruit, integrated tanins, and if I was Solomon, I'd write "Song of Songs", Part Deux. We HAD to open it today, just to erudicate all the unpleasantness of Rosenblum Zin.... Your brief notes make the Gazin sound inviting, but again...

Almost 300 views. Serge creates hits with gossamer. What a talent.

after trying 7 French wines in New York we came to conclusion:
we have "napalese taste"....

What a surprise. Are you sure you don't have "Nepalese taste"?

I know I do!

Posting of the year so far. 9.5/10 losing 1/2 mark for 'brocaid' mispelling. The sentence, the sentiments, the meter, the metier: just magic! Thanks Neville, but according to my Websters Dictionary, I spelled it correctly. Same with my MS Word Spell Check. Still, glad you like the sentiments expres...

I'm a firm believer in decanting, no matter what the age of the wine. If it's old enough to throw any sediment at all, the reason is clear enough. Even if it's a younger wine, aeration will be benificial, whether you decant and pour right away, or decant and let it air for an hour or four. Air usual...

Marquis Phillips is the worst example of overoaked, over-extracted, excessively high alcohol wines that I've had the misfortune to gag down (in the spirit of polite company), anytime, anywhere. Neophyte North American cherry pickers and numbers chasers just lap this stuff up, and I don't understand ...

Ill second the Kilikanoon.

I see numbers and good vibes but whats in the wine? Is it carignane? Malbec? Pinot moon unit? Aren't you the one bashing the French for not telling whats in the bottle?

My favorite line from this article is Market forces aren't known for encouraging individuality — Velveeta sells better than Taleggio. I've had Velveeta in a previous life and it's not very good. Fortunately Renou's proposed split of the AOC won't affect the good stuff. You'll still need ...
