No, you're really not.

The following arrived today for the dinner:

Unfortunately, I was unable to find any Bonard Savagnin for a comparison.

No, I haven't gotten an email from you lately, I don't think.

 

[Levi Dalton]

Also in, as of today:

1996 Causse Marines "Mysterre (Mystique)" Vin de Table, Gaillac, France

Which has more suspended sediment in it than perhaps any wine I have seen in lo' these many years.

 

[Thor]

Oooh, I hope there's ropiness, too. It's been months since I've had a good phlegm-textured wine.

I hope it acquits itself well. I think it spent about 4+ years sous voile. I don't know why the choice was made to end it there rather than keep it going to vin jaune territory. How it will do in amongst the rest
I could not begin to speculate.

 

[SFJoe]

I'm so sad to miss.

 

[Thor]

I'm so sad to miss.

Would you describe yourself as florlorn?

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

Ouch. (good pain)

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

That really floored me.

 

[Alice F.]

I'm drunk just looking at this list. Hot damn.
This is going to be one hell of a night.

 

[Levi Dalton]

Whew!

Made it!

Thanks to everyone for coming!

 

[Thor]

I was flor'd.

 

[Thor]

Question to any of the attendees and/or hosts: the Lustau Almacenista Fino del Puerto...was that Jos de la Cuesta or Jos Luis Gonzlez Obregn? Or the non-Almacenista bottling?

 

[Jay Miller]

I am lucky that I am out of town and thus able to escape the fiendish conspiracy to floridate our wines.

 

[Thor]

You were in Florida, weren't you?

 

[Larry Stein]

If costumes are worn, does that make it a Flora Purim?

No one?
