Just for the record, the 1983 SC ranges among the finest wines from the northern Rhône I've had. I agree there's bottle variation and annoyingly, quite a lot of corked bottles, especially among older vintages, which I'm surprised nobody mentioned. But when the bottle is right, it's just magical...

4 Kilos is my favourite wine producer in Mallorca. By far.

Thanks Brad! Good to see you again and sorry that the date was so busy and I missed almost everybody. Shame about the Mondavi, because underneath all that mustiness it seemed like a terrific wine. Cheers!

How fun it is to find old threads from time to time... Cheers!

Hi guys, thanks for all the comments. It's an incredible opportunity for someone like me to get this job, and I'm very excited about the possibilities that will open for us. TWA is certainly changing... See you around, Luis

I'm very sad to hear the news. I'm not much around here these days, but I met Joe, Robert and some of the old timers, certainly online, when I really started in wine at the WLDG. I met Joe at Vinexpo one year, and went to a couple of tastings with him, and we drank some Cornalin. I have to say...

Still drinking!
