Time marches on. I grew up with the Chicago show "Bozo's Circus" when it was at it's height. Parents would ask for tickets when the first child was born. They'd ask for tickets based on the number of children they thought they would have.

With out a doubt there is a learning curve when buying these units. I purchased from Wine Enthusiast a complete self contained cellar which holds just short of 1000 bottles. We set it up in an unfinished basement and finished around it.

Wonder what's going on at JPV, what w/ the departure of CraigWilliams and TomShelton?? The first leMistral's were pretty unthrilling, but w/ the addition of their Monterey vnyd, they tweaked it up to be a pretty good Rhone blend.

92 Was drinking really good and the crowd I was with prefered it. I liked the 96, reminded me of 1997 Lafite I was lucky enough to try only days earlier.

Jim, The GrandTasting on Sat afternoon costs $125. Well worth it if you graze thru the offerings from all the restaurants there. I never eat anything and focus on trying the wines, so the price is not as attractive to me. The seminars are mostly $75 a]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:28:41 PDT http://www.westcoastwine.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=343346#Post343346 Posted by Steve_Felten:

When it comes to tasting notes...I am fighting with a very high handicap! ;^) Actually I will try and get my Italians on line tonight. Here was one of my favorites!

I use 55 gallon recycled food quality for trash. The are bullet proof, light and wont dent. I cut the top off for my purpose. They last for years.

Site seems slow, though it might be me or if it's new, them getting it going is slowing it down. If it has all the retailers at wine-searcher pro it will save me $30 a year.

Haven't read much about how the 2006 Saxum's showed at HdR this year. I remember last year there were tons of rave reviews. I think 06 is a weaker vintage but was looking to see how the 2006 Saxum's looked. No Rocket Block again I read, or 07 I believe.]]> Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:34:29 PDT
