The vocabulary used in this joint can make my knees weak. Otoh, PBs historically have placed more emphasis on ass kisses than askesis.

That's because, historically, politburos have had the wrong kinds of values. No need for this one to follow in those errors.

Please call us P.

We refer you to the FAQ:

Isn't that kind of arbitrary...?

Yes it is. These are grey areas, and we pride ourselves on the capricious enforcement of poorly-defined rules. If you don't like it, start your own damn board.

If fb, one of the top three things happening on WD, is being censored by the P'boro or other forces, then the forces of darkness have truly been unleashed on the Earth.

Prepare for the end!

Better the PB focus its terrible prerogatives on real villains, like Nigel.

That was odd, wasn't it?

Dear P.:

Brush that chip off your shoulder, I wasn't even writing about you. Otoh, I refer you to Jonathan's comment immediately preceding.

Best.

I'm all in favor of capriciousness. As Oscar Wilde said, the only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that a caprice lasts a little longer.
 
One (good) thing about the PB here is that it has neither these nor those kinds of values, but no values at all. Its permanent members express them when posting under their own aliases, the collective intervening only when Little Miss Manners is violated.

Is it any wonder? Look at their photos, O. It's a bunch of dead guys.

Kirk, have you tasted sentiers from stephane magnien? mine is in the queue

I have, tasted when ian had it, and i thought terrific and immediately bought several. Quite poised and stylish. Excellent fruit, not over-fruited, nicely balanced.

that's how I felt about the village morey ( a particular favourite of fb incidentally ) and the blended 1er version

it was rather curious to have these two in a lofty '10 lineup recently, with all sorts of fancy labels like mugnier, pousse d'or, mugneret, drouhin, rossignol, roumier, hudelot-noellat, etc. - they still somehow managed to stand out on account of purity

i liked the chambolle too.

good, I bought some of that too. Did you try the grand crus?
Click to expand...

No. I only bought the chambolle. With my first going off to college soon I think my burgundy purchases are going to slow down.

OK, now I'm curious, who is this Stephane Magnien and how do his wines get to the states?

This isn't the North Berkley Magnien, is it?

Not those Magniens, different guy.
I tried the MSD village on a recommendation from David Lillie. Jean Paul is the father, Stephane his son.
I agree it was really nice, and underpriced compared to the other shite from Cote de Nuit out there.
