hello

IMG_2935-1.jpg
i used to love reading and, to a lesser extent, posting here. Then, ... things. You know.

Avoid. A void.

Recently I managed to scrounge up some cash for a new computer. And as I am currently looking to engage with a local crew on a new wine and food enterprise - interested in orange wine and its pairings - I thought I might find one of Levi's menus posted here, or other pertinent discussions - which I did!. But before I could even search properly, I wanted to ask:

May I just throw some iPhone photos up and ask for your thoughts?

Like this wine. It smashed my aversion to locally available Bordeaux. This is not a crippled, overworked, dead simulacrum. It is perfumed and shroomy and silk textured, in the berry sense. Anyone else drink Gueyrosse? Other vintages? The force of the first several bottles caused me to gather a small amount of public text available regarding the property, and it reads ... well.

Detroit bid for the Olympics every chance from the 1940s through the 1970s. In 1963 we were selected by the national committee to represent the US bid for the 1968 games. And whereas civil violence and the people's salute may have occurred anywhere, it is unlikely that Bob Beamon would have jumped 29+ feet in Detroit. The air here is more dense than in Mexico City.

I admire this wine. I wish there were more like it.
 
Welcome back. We (I) missed you. I used to have another name, so you may have no clue who I am. But I am from Seattle, if that's a clue.

Gueyrose is delicious, as are many many lesser Bordeaux. I love the stuff. It ages well, and can be surprisingly flexible. Had an 01 Sarget d Gruaud last weekend with a strange mix of foods, and somehow it was quite pleasurable and calming with all of them.
 
Putnam. I don't know you, but I'm so glad you're back. And Gueyrosse. 2002. I don't know who brings it to Detroit, but a really great guy named Ed brings it to us here in DC and it is delicious.
 
Dude! Putnam!

I'm very much loving, in all seriousness, a red Graves we are serving at work right now. Grand Bos. Bos, not Bois, as you might expect. 2002. Really wonderful at this moment.

That's always been a nice wine. Longtime Moore Brothers selection.
 
Putnam, I've missed your posts, photo essays, and blog. I hope you find yourself in the finest of fettle. Your post is a welcome sight.

Best,
John
 
Thanks, Disordereds. (im still looking for a good demonym)

I hope to have the blog back up next week.

I have been drinking the 2002 Grand Bos too. Both of these wines are exemplary.

Hmm. That's interesting. We aren't getting it from their import wing is why I find that interesting. Guess that's Bordeaux for you.
