It was a really great night and thanks to all for your contributions. I will post some pictures of the Mole Poblano once Mark shows me how to upload them on here. We should really do this more often. Not too often, though; as I don't think my liver could handle this on a regular basis. One or...

I can't help much in Des Moines but the closest you will find to a disorderly list in KC is at Tannin Wine Bar. Barry Tunnel is a good customer of ours. Ça Va for bubbles under Jim Coley too. Port Fonda, next door, for great Mexican Food. It has been a slow uphill climb in Missouri but a few...

I hate being a shill but in this case, it's worth it. Come see Louis-Antoine at Vif Seattle! Flame away... Vif news Flash! The wines from Louis-Antoine Luyt will not arrive in time for the dinner on Saturday. We do have enough for a tasting and feel we shouldn’t miss the opportunity to have...

Many thanks to you, Mike for sharing treasures from your cellar - it was a great education for many people and most generous of you. Marvining with one of my sales reps the following day allowed him to sell the current Brezeme with great authority on how it would evolve over time. Thanks to...

Patience, Grasshoppers - we are working on the library release thing. Sheila wrote to François and as soon as I have some information on what is available, I will pass it along.

Love this! Thanks for the education, Don.

You need to download it and play with it a bit to fully appreciate the greatness.

I thought I would share this little gem of an app: http://itunes.apple.com/app/lallemand-wine/id497803135?mt=8

Sorry to leave you hanging out there, Joe. I haven't had a chance to breathe since returning from the Loire, let alone look at my notes. I do thank you for yours, though! I will remind the Chicago guys, especially JQ who takes amazing notes, that he should post his here too. A question came...

I had one of two anchovy epiphany moments last spring in Italy. One of them was at the DeBartoli VinItaly booth, tasting Vecchio Samperi for the very first time with Sebastiano DeBartoli, along with some of the most delicious cured anchovies that he brought over from Sicily.

Et aussi Buster...

I tasted a Marcassin Chardonnay some years ago, when it was only spoken of in hushed tones by the Midwest wine cognoscenti and the palate memory still lingers. I recall it tasting somewhat like liquid lumberyard, not much else. After that, I never felt I needed to bother with the Pinot Noir...

Wow, I did not get here until today and came across this lovely thread. It was a very fun evening. I needed some cooking therapy come Friday afternoon and making an extra large batch of Mole Poblano was just the thing. I told Joe I was making mole and that some of the disorderlies were coming...

I must chime in here to let all of you know that I cannot take credit for the Mole. This was engineered by Joe with the assistance of my husband, Mark. My favorite moment of the night was when I needed to get Joe to come and explain his fossil mantle to Franck Pascal and we both saw Arianna...

Merry Christmas Joe. Desendote unas navidades muy felices con tu familia. Espero que tengas un ao lleno de paz, amor y prosperidad. ~Josefa
