nice to see Bree back in the scribe game

might be a little far, but Eva is really good. You might remember James Hondros from the WCWN used to post. He and his wife Amy own/operate Eva. Amazing soups and everything is very very good. Nice wine list too. jc

the 82 is grand too.

I haven't checked in to Disorder in ages. Sure glad I did tonight. Great info Joe...thank you for grinding the notes out. I know I appreciate them. Jon

Probably. Its a subject that seems generate a lot of wide ranging emotions and mostly for those that have personal experience.

...and I hate to post it, but some of you know Donn, and like me, consider him a friend. At a loss for words. -Jon http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/wine/detail?&entry_id=35148

Agree. That one we shared was a lot of fun ! Hope all is well with you. jc

Had the '99 Verset recently, bottles that BWood secured for me, and it was grumpy. So was a '90 Clape that we popped for Thanksgiving. '98 Juge "C" is freakin' beautiful right now. jc

Futornick swears by L'avant Gout. Check it out... http://www.lavantgout.com/

Wow, Dressner looks fantastic in red.

Nice commentary, Yoda.

I'm starting to get that feeling. Perhaps this is just a California distribution issue. jc

Thanks BK. Do you think the 95 VT and Beaucastel fall into that group? Those were tight, backward wines not too long ago with the potential for emerging on the other side as nice, drinkable CdPs.

First off...thanks to those involved in putting Wine Disorder into operation. Very nice. Not sure what took me so long to get here... Now to the meat: has anyone experienced any prematurely dead bottles of 1998 Brunel Les Cailloux CdP? I recently went through my entire stash of 5 bottles to try...

....mmm good. Or should I say, cheap and good. jc
