This is the real thing. It opened up with some stern tannin, but that has eased up with time in the decanter. Beautiful northern Rhônish goodness. A fine way to celebrate getting several years' worth of work validated with a publication.
 
Thanks! It's an article in the American Historical Review. I still can't believe it. Run out to your nearest newsstand this June. Exciting bedtime reading, I promise.

I got the Othéguy from the hype machine out in Seattle. I wish I bought more. It's really good, alarmingly dark, but it is a 2009, and it has plenty of structure. No froot.
 
Ah, I suppose I should get on their list someday.

I have a couple bottles of 2006 in storage. Got them there. A friend has drunk his already and loved it. In wine, I find patience is a virtue.

I'll keep an eye out for the 'zine. Last June's issue must have been fun; it appears that the lead article was "Between the Gaucho and the Tango: Popular Songs and the Shifting Landscape of Modern Argentine Identity, 1895-1915."
 
Indeed. If you thought that was a page turner, just wait!

I'm sure this wine will be much better in the requisite fifteen, which is why I'm kicking myself. On the other hand, it does not suck now.

Which Othéguy? Côte-Rôtie or Saint-Joseph?

Saint-Joseph. I would love to try the Côte Rôtie after that bottle.

Cool, what's the name of your article, so we can start fantasizing and projecting (and salivating) right now.

It's called "The International Politics of Vaccine Testing in Interwar Algiers," about a conflict among the Pasteur Institute, the League of Nations, and, indirectly, French family doctors over competing standards of scientific proof, pitting the VLM's forebears against laboratory scientists. The end result was the largest controlled clinical trial in the world before the 1950s.
