That Eden? I wish she would post more.

I thought Mylunch lived in Malibu?

I was making the random connection, could easily be wrong.

The mind boggles.

Curious to try a '99 L d'Or now.

Strangely enough: at Astor now.

A hear some cult winemakers from the hinterlands will be bringing three blind wines to Jay's today. Could we be so lucky?

No.

Thanks, Chris.

What chaos came next?

We never made it back to New York. Slept in PATH stations until it was time to appear at Jay's place. Oddly convenient, in a way.

Yaaaaas!

If you're advocating menthol cigs, we're going to have words.

I was wondering if you'd notice.

 

[Bill Lundstrom]

menthol cigs = cinnamon raisin bagels

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

I stand offended.

 

[MarkS]

I stand accused.

Wasn't it 2000 Briords that had shower curtain?

Not according to my records:

Domaine de la Pépière (Marc Ollivier) Muscadet Clos des Briords Vieilles Vignes 1999 ($10) (Joey): There's some strangeness here, an odd plastic note that Mr. Scott sums up nicely as "shower curtain." Underneath that is a racy, structured wine with traces of melon and white flower hints over some serious minerality. Whassup here? No time, Toulouse, move on, you've got to move on. (1/6/01)

Domaine de la Pépière (Marc Ollivier) Muscadet Clos des Briords Vieilles Vignes 1999 ($10) (Muscajeeb): Sniff, sniff... ngh, this doesn't smell like anything. With aggressive swirling I get some vague rainwatery notes and a hint of plastic, maybe a trace of white flowers that are growing far, far away on a hilltop. In the piehole it's entirely neutral, all bracing acidity without much flesh. "This wine has always been fucked up," says Dressner affably. General agreement. (11/10/02)

This evidence is indisputable. Looks like the wine recovered though.

It did! The Allées was by far my favorite when they were both newborns. I was quite surprised.
