    Vincent Wines in the FT!

    Thanks Cole, this was cool to see and I appreciate you mentioning here. Disorder and therapy helped me learn a ton about wine. I feel a debt to SFJoe and Callahan and this whole lot.

    Coad 9-12-99, “Waitng for Callahan”

    Lou was the best. I remember meeting him and BettyLu at offlines but then one time they surprised me when I worked briefly in the shop at North Berkerley in 2000. Came in, somehow knew to expect me there, were the nicest people and ever since I just had an extra good feeling about them both. Now...

    Scott Paul Winery

    I honestly have no input on Ian’s approach, and haven’t heard any rumors but disconew they were dumping lots of back vintages. Wonder what happened between the sale of the brand a few years back and now this.

    Shout out for Portland, OR

    Super late to this thread, but I love hearing people enjoying Portland. VLM would love to connect if you make it out this way. Lee no love for Flyong Fish oysters?

    OMG

    I'm truly shaken. Chris Coad, I never said and you'd probably never accept what you meant to me.

    WTN: Hanging out with Franklin in the City of Roses

    The Blanc is sold out!! More is coming though, and the '15 was picked earlier and shows affinity to Melon. Not surprising people used to confuse the two vines in CA and OR. Mark, great to meet you. Thanks for your thoughtful tasting notes, I think you experienced the wines as I do. The Zenith...

    XP: RIP - Michel Richard

    I remember enjoying the food at Citronelle in the later '90s but I was more of a Chez Panisse guy at the time. I was sorry to hear he died.

    Tomorrow in PDX?

    Just messaged you. Stop by my place in NE Portland after you get in. I'm not free in the evening but happy to meet and open a few bottles at the table here at my house.

    TN: In the cellar (July 29, 2016)

    Curious what you mean Mike, was there an issue in the cellar, or bad corks? I haven't had as much CRB in recent years, since they got discovered by the newbies and the Gamay wasn't $7 anymore (I'm kidding!). But honestly I never experienced or haven't ever heard of an issue. Thoughts?

    TN: Dinner at Racines NY with Kelley Fox (April 13, 2016)

    I think Kelley's making some of the best Oregon wines today. I'm constantly impressed by the delicacy in the wines. Nice to see her gaining lots of notice.

    "...jaw-droppingly horrific affronts..."

    Is 90 the new 95?

    The restaurant that NYC needs

    You really can't do this in NY. Either it's a hit and no one can ever get in, so the Disorder type would still wish NY had such a place. Or it fails for all the reasons described here. NC sounds like a good place to do it. Or Oregon for that matter.
