I generally agree with Brad's analysis
Oh dear. And we had such high hopes for you.

Nobody was more shocked than I. Do note that I then go on to disagree with him, so I'm not hopeless.

Not to worry. In 2010 when we get the novelized version of the event, we can go back and compare reactions.

What was my bat attack story, anyway?
Wasn't that to explain why you were wearing a cape and a mask at dinner? Investors are a superstitious and cowardly lot.

As I recall, you described a savage Louisville-Slugger beating justifiably administered to some lowlife who wandered around a jeebus snapping flash pictures in peoples' faces.

As for the wines, I agree for the most part with Brad's notes, though I thought the 1991 Musar much better than the 1988. Both were good, but the 1991 was head and shoulders above it.
The 91 is pretty special, one of the best I've tried. But I think the '88 is very close to it. I love them both. And I think they still have a healthy life ahead of them. Sounds like a great evening!

There is not a lot of fresh corn in my markets in November, with or without Ustilago maydis.
There are plenty of cornfields in my neck of the woods here in IL-I have taken some of the smut to friends in STL-but it is one of the few foods I do not seem eager to taste-what does it taste like? If you want some fresh next summer let me know and maybe we can work out how to ship you some.

Not to mention Mister Miller. Where's Jay?
Thanks for the notes and pix.

Looks like most of these pictures were taken after I left to do the data load for work :(.

Yep. That's when I remembered I had my camera in my bag.

Fonts look fine to me.
You can choose your kind fonts in 'settings,' you know.
You never notice font problems, Coad. You're like .sasha with tca.
Fonts are my bread and butter. They don't scare me.

Wow, I'm a little late to this party - but that's because I've just recovered my much-coveted tasting notes (actually, just a list of the wines drunk, because one never can trust Mr. Kane) - though I see a couple of interloper names someone or -ones seem to have added in my absence.
Delicious evening of discovery and the unexpected. Huitlacoche quesadillas rock. Dried black trumpets from (Joe will fill in location) are like unto crack cocaine for the senses. And, well, 1964 Huet Petillant is worthy of a bit of weak-kneedness.
What can I add to the pile? I swear that usually the 2005 Jambon Blanc "La Grande Bruyere" is rather than a thing of volatile acidity yuck, actually a tasty and earthy chardonnay, but what can I do?
NV Selosse Contraste made a little something die within me.
NV Jean Vesselle "Oeil de Perdrix" was, as Michel notes, excitingly weirdly meaty on the nose and berried on the palate.
Again, huge thanks for this, certainly the highlight of the trip. That and the fact that Brad has, in his infinite wisdom, left me room in my baggage to take some bottles back (including an Edmunds St. John I picked up yesterday at Astor Wines).
The only regret was not bringing a Long Island chenin blanc as I had threatened to. But they just go so fast, there was no way of getting my hands on one for our eager enthusiasts.

Long Island chenin blanc
You mean the Paumanok? It's a structure-free light white for casual drinking, a pleasant, mild quaff.
Now if you had meant TEXAS chenin it'd be another ball game (though hardly a better one!)

I should add that when I manage to shake my weather-induced lethargy I will be posting pictures, and I am reasonably certain there are 1 or 2 of Mr. Miller. If not I'll just throw a random one in there.
