The dinner and far too much commentary are here. I'm a little wary of posting full notes on Disorder, and understandably so given recent events, but am -- pab-like -- happy to address any vociferous complaints on this forum.
 
From my own, laguiole-wielding perspective, I was particularly drawn to the Macle Vin Jaune '02, the Contini Vernaccia di Oristano '85, the Loye Arbois Blanc '89, the La Cigarrera Manzanilla, the El Maestro Sierra Fino, and to some extent to the Argueso San Leon Clasica Manzanilla, and the Pedro Romero Manzanilla.

So different strokes.
 
I was just happy that you got to sit down for almost five whole minutes. Maybe ten? At the orange shindig, you were decidedly overworked and overly vertical. This time, mostly just overworked.

I also enjoyed the soundtrack at our end of the table. I mean the guy on infinite repeat. Sophie could tell you...
 
I doubt she could get a word in.

There's not a chance in hell Levi's going to comment on this (with good reason), so I'm on my own here.

God you're whiney.

As director general of the politburo, I never told you that you couldn't post TNs directly.
 
Great write up, enjoyed your notes very much.
I'm impressed that you could keep track of so many wines on the same night.
After a glass or three of sherry my note taking abilities would be nil.

I'm a fan of that Valdespino Inocente, it is a really complex and amazing wine. I think I read somewhere that the Equipo Nazavos fino No. 15 came from Valdespino Butts.

I trust that I'm a better speller, though.

"glittering crystal flortifications" seems like an uncharacteristically missed opportunity, though

Yeah, I didn't go back through and edit. There were a few other opportunities as well, and I kinda wish I knew the Italian term for flor; even more chances for horrid wordplay.

Well, any notion of not spitting was quickly dissuaded by the alcohol levels.

I have another bottle of that (the 15), which I will revisit at some point; my memory is that I've liked it a lot more in other circumstances.
 
True, the politburo did respond/answer.

Perhaps I should have just said that there was never a conclusive explanation of what happened to Thor's posts. At least not on that thread or anywhere that I saw in public.
 
No, you responded. That's different from answering.

As I said in the earlier thread, however...whatever. The pain of the inquiry isn't worth it for me, anymore. I just won't post notes here as often (or perhaps at all; we'll see how the mood strikes), which I'm sure will make certain entities happier than Ipswich bivalves.

The Politburo may now continue its benevolence on its own terms.

Thor,
For what its worth, all bivalves are not created equal.
That said, post whatever and wherever you like; personally, I like it when you post your notes here.
Best, Jim
