'95 Bordeaux question

originally posted by Kay Bixler:
Well since you asked, '94 d'Armailhac. It was actually very nice in a wash down the lamb chops kind of way and is probably as good as it will ever be. It's weird because I bought a lot of Bordeaux when I first became interested in wine (all of it on Brad Kanes recommendation) and now my tastes are elsewhere but the wine is still there in my cellar. I guess a person could have worse problems.

I never bought Bordeaux and have a total of 2 bottles and wish I had more. Now i have to backfill so there are always different perspectives.

I'm almost out of CA cab as well and will need to address that in the next year or so.

I have too much Barolo.

I guess the lesson is that a cellar is in constant need of re-balancing to find a happy equilibrium. I wonder if that is a metaphor for something.

No hidden agenda here, but why?
Do you eat the kind of food that CA cab. goes with on a regular basis?
How often do you head to the cellar with CA cab. being your first choice?
Best, Jim

Regular enough so that it should be more than 0.5% of my cellar.

I don't hate cabernet, I just hate goopy wines. My recent excellent experience with Montebello, Laurel Glen, and Dunn has changed my perspective on the type.

Although I don't really believe you can have too much Chinon or Burgundy I may be severely testing that assumption.

Exactly the opposite. If I had properly modeled it, this would never have happened.

I know, the eternal optimist. I swear to god, if you think hard enough the answer is there...somewhere...

I do love redheads. It's a real weakness I have.
 
Speaking of the South ...

Has anyone been catching the True Blood Season One reruns this week? I picked it up in Season Two. Having seen 3/4ths of the first, I have a much greater appreciation for the series. It's a writer-driven show all the way. The near awful acting (Anna Paquin?!) and almost anti-production values (the cheap fast-motion stuff is the highlight of the camera work) bring out the skeletal brilliance of the writing. All those asshole Southern writers should be proud - it's mostly cribbed from the Southern gothics.

Oh - and the sound design is the one point of production that is fucking awesome.

I was trying to figure out if the acting was terrible on purpose.

I can't seem to decide if the show is terrible or brilliant. It's seems to be neither, so I'll settle on guilty pleasure.

Anna Paquin is terrible.

On an unrelated note, am I the only one who thinks Lost is stupid?
 
Lost is a joke. I actually think JJ Abrams thinks it's a joke too.

You're probably right, monkey. True Blood is most likely a fluke. Like Star Wars but not as exhilarating.

For anyone who hasn't watched the 7-part critique of the first part of the Star Wars trilogy, it's really a must see.
