    This and That.

    Really enjoyed his wines but at their current price point, as noted, the doors open to so many other choices. By the way, what is "DWPIM"? I understand DNPIM but not this acronym. I did drink a bunch of the Alive a couple of summers ago and found it to be a fun summer sipper.

    The Beaujolais TN thread

    Adding props to Yann Bertrand, enjoyed a 2023 Fleurie Cuvee du Chaos last night. My recollection is very similar to Robert's description. Opens tight and with a little time in the glass it really blooms. Vinification is listed as cold carbonic maceration but as such shows a light and deft...

    A Trip to Italy

    A couple of years ago on the tail end of two weeks in Positano we tackled a couple of days in Naples. Of course, it turned out to be the only days it rained on the entire trip.

    Aging Hipster Bottles

    Did open my last bottle of Peyra '04 VV, along with an '06 Jouvenceau, back in February. The wine was fine but lacking a bit overall. It was really a question of would it bring back that new and exciting experience it did when drinking it and it brethren 20 years ago? Not so much. These vin...

    NYC... again. Jan 15 JEEBUS?

    You might want to look into Cha Kee. They take reservations and as of the last time I went, BYO. They have very good glassware. Check the menu but the food pairs well with Disorderly choices.

    NWR: Stereo Disorder Question

    I am currently exclusively using streaming services (Tidal and Pandora). Access to music files stored on an offsite NAS are being accessed through a very clunky Synology app. I may swap the Airport Express out for the Wiim mini and this may work for you as well as it will play hires files as...
