| I would love for you guys to bring something from Spain - DW, that 1999 Clos Martinet should be drinking very well right now (I had a less than perfect bottle last week, and that was still good).
I'm leaning toward bringing a Ciacci 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (don't say I don't luv ya Fred), and ordering a bottle off the list.
I may also be a little late, since I have to close the store on Saturday. | | | |

| Never underestimate the power of the Las Rocas. Glad to see some other Spanish wines showing up as well. | | | |

WHOA! If I didn't say I was attending already, that bottle of vino alone would make it worth the trip!

| unfortunately Wilma can't make it. I'm sure there's a Bam-Bam joke in there but I can't find it.
The Port is standing up and has been for the last couple days. The Spanish is the 2002 San Roman Toro which was a recommendation for Jaimetown. Let me know if the San Roman isn't ready to drink JT and I'll think of something else. I might throw in another bottle of something just to keep it interesting. | | | "It's better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out, then outside the tent pissing in." -- Lyndon Johnson | |

| Opening TJ's Ramey's might be a great idea, but you will have to ask TJ. He is awash in them. Cab or mystery white? | | | |

| I went to a dinner the week before last where the 1990 Krug was just blown away by the 1996 Dom. Completely different styles, but to a person everyone preferred the DP that night. | | | |
