Joe, the decline of Ausone is matter of public record. Read just about any history of the domaine online. Most will say they declined the second half of of the century until Delbeck got there in '76, but even then, they were inconsistent until Rolland introduced spoof in '95.
Why should I read online histories when I have you, Bradley?
 
Delbeck spent a couple of hours with us in 1986 showing us through the estate and then tasting everything available. Charming guy, remember him well. We spent some time in the vineyard where he seemed to know the age of every vine.

Must be nice in your own private Idaho. Well, not so private since the secret Sasha board is there. I worry about you guys whenever a comet drifts a bit close to the earth.

It's ok, Joe. I'm friends with a number of wine apologists, many of whom reside here.

Look on the bright side, the same folks are more likely to be apologetic for their friends.
