RTN: Bordeaux Bash

But wait, isn't that somewhat contrary to your anti-relativist view of the world that allows you to establish a strict numerical ranking of everything? I mean once you assign a wine it's rank in the wine pantheon, you'd never have to revisit or experience it again, you could just look back for it's old number.

In your archives.

I think it is tangential to my anti-relativism. I think that a hierarchical ranking is possible, in theory. But it has to do with the truth value of emergent consensus and other topics that I wish I had time/intelligence to figure out. To that end not everyone's views count. I tried to get Luca to go in on it with me, but he had better things to do.

EXACTLY, in MY archives.
 
I thought twitters were cooler than blogs were cooler than livejournals now but maybe that was last week. I don't have any of them.

I hadn't seen that note on '04 Carema white label. I had it the other night at Cendrillon, and I couldn't agree more. Fantastic wine, drinking beautifully.

I do so love a good "talking about talking about wine" discussion.

It's like the good old days, eh?

Makes me want to post my war with Callahan from '98.

I think Wine Disorder should be about discussions which do not always require a CWD and can even veer off topic from wine. I think Wine Disorder is a perfectly good place to post your CWDs (or even TNs) and I might start doing that again when I get bored with my blog.

One thing to consider about blog vs. Disorder: although I do enjoy reading the VLM-TR, I cannot comment on the posts without registering with blogspot/Google/whoever. Admittedly, it would not kill me to do so, but it's a barrier to the exchange of information (yeah, yeah, I had to register here, too. Bite me!)

I've never thought of any public wine BB to be a storage bin for my personal notes and I can't remember the last time I searched the "archives" except to comment on something I had written before that had gone off the front page.

Well, thread resurrection was a time-honored tradition at Therapy and very useful for me when trying to figure out if an orphaned bottle in the cellar was in need of opening. It seems to me that wholesale transfer of threads from Therapy to here would further that practice to the extent that Therapy threads survived the Great Disaster of '07. For the record, I don't use any WWW-based forum/board/whatever as a storage bin, either, for the reasons made manifest in the Great Disaster, but I do use alt.food.wine for that purpose since it uses a distributed storage model.

It's masturbatory and clutters the bored with OLD SHIT.

I'm all about what is happening NOW.

You've expressed your opinion. Fine. Don't look at anything with an RTN. Problem solved. Now shut the fuck up.

No that doesn't solve the problem. It sits on top of the new stuff and clutters the bored with crap.

Bring it on big boy! Up the fuck shut!

To be fair, monkey, what's keeping it on top is your jeremiad.

Who are you calling a maid?

I don't know what any of that means, but it sounds racist.

I think am going to have to pick up some chips-and-dip on the way home to eat while I watch the rest of this thread unfold.
