Breaking News: VLM is a bitter, carping gadfly!

What did you think of it?

Since this is a fictionalized account of my daytime drinking, let's say it's an '06, which I like better than the '07. (Actually, had some '07 for the second time two nights ago and was slightly let down. But the bottle might have been a little off.)

Yes, the '07 was a slight let down for me, too. Not a bad drop by any measure, but not quite up to the lofty expectations set by previous years' editions IMO. Jean was quite underwhelmed, so I accused her of entering into SFJoe-like hater territory for the grape. 'Twasn't bad, but nothing too special, either -- lacking a bit in minerality for my taste.
