Jeebus in Wash DC, 8/24

How is that Clisson doing? I've always loved it, while the Briords of the vintage has been less satisfying.
 
I really liked the Huet and the Conterno. And the grivot. Did not get enough time with the texier - sorry it was not opened sooner.
 
I was especially taken with the Brezza Canubi and the Grivot. The Texier was very good, but, uncorked late in the proceedings, I felt it was still opening up when we got at it. The ESJ was also very good: fresh and acidy, I thought.

The Huet, I dare say, was showing extremely well by the end of the evening. The Doisey Daene (mine) showed surprisingly dry; in my past experience with these halves, the balance improves dramatically with extended air time.

A pleasant evening withal: genial company and some fine wines. Thanks for putting me up, Jonathan and Gail - or should I say, putting up with me.

Larry, hope you receive only good reports during your daughter's first semester.
 
I'm home after eating, drinking, and sightseeing in Philly. Thanks for putting together the jeebus. It was great to meet you all. I had a terrific time and appreciate the wines you brought.

Hope to see you in the Bay Area at some future time.
