On This Day In History

Our own Chris Coad turns 39. Happy birthday, Chris and may you have many, many more.

And a belated birthday greeting goes out to Joe Dressner who turned 69 this past Monday. Congratulations, Joe!

In their honor I present to this forum something no wineboard should be without, a tasting note on the non-vintage Renadart-Fache, Bugey Cerdon sparkling rose: flavorful sweet fruit with a clean, lingering finish complimented by natural carbonation. Even better on day two and still holding its fizz.

Best,
Kay

I see the effects from your stay at Guantanamo have lingered, Kay. That, or perhaps Chris is channeling Dressner, but he was mentioning on Sunday that he's a whopping 45. Not a bad Port year as I recall.

Which I fear you don't.

Of course he doesn't. He's the Picasso of cluelessness, a true natural genius of the art.

But thank you all for your kind remembrances. I'm off to Kinko's now, to have new business cards printed up:

Bob Semon was also 39 this year, and in his honor we opened a lovely 69 Baumard QdC; I recommend it to all 39 year olds. For next year's birthday, I would open a 1970 Taylor, but am open to other suggestions.

We had some 85 Huet CdB Moelleux in honor of Chris because we know how much he likes Mythical Vouvray.

Cheers Chris. Good job!
 
And hey, Rahsaan, were you also toasting your imminent transatlantic departure?

I am sipping Bollinger, and I am not kidding. It was stronger than me. Happy birthday, Chris Coad!

ETA: It goes really well with a creamy, slightly smokey pasta sauce.

Yes, it is my last night and my last bottle, so..

Not that those pesky facts should detract from honoring Chris!

Enjoy the Bollinger.

Really? That's horrible news.

You should ask the Politburo to move this to its own thread.
