Thanks, Jim

I think his name is Joe.

A finely tuned ear for language can be a curse.

Yeah, supposably. That's what I hear.

I still haven't quite figured out when I hear "supposably" if the speaker means to combine supposedly and probably or is just retarded.

Cheers,

Kevin

Irregardless ...

Was your comment about cameras in front of the Closel stand a joke? Who exactly was filming them? Are they getting a lot of media attention?

No, not at all. I have no idea who the camera was from, there was a handsome guy who kept talking into the camera as we tasted. But my focus was only on the report that I was to deliver to my loyal readers, so I paid them no mind.

Sounds to me like when some of the notable '08's hit the local market, we need to do a 2008 Chenin-a-thon. There are some '08's already out there, so start grabbing some!

No Huets yet, though.

Unfortunately, Joe didn't realize that there was a mirror behind the stand, and that the "handsome guy who kept talking into the camera" was broadcast wearing an "A" train baseball cap on France 2 the next day....

Thanks very much for these, Joe.

My thought, exactly.

I've read parts 1, 2, and 3 and find them more interesting and useful than the subscriber newsletters I'm personally familiar with--thanks so much!

I don't think I've thanked you for this series of notes yet. This is as good a place as any. Thank you.

Just resurrecting an old thread...

I win.

Three cases, coming to Journeyman, soon.

I've been waiting five years for another taste of this wine.

I'm very excited.
