Thanks, Jay! Do you recommend any particular brand of fish sauce?

More corrections made above, thanks guys.
So, Brad, let me see if I have this right: the empty magnum indicates a wine that wasn't too good, while the half-filled 750 bottle indicates a lapse in judgment on the parts of 20 different party attendees. Does that about cover it?
Easily explained by the fact that there was a wealth of white wines to drink and relatively few good reds.
A rare (but qualified) defense of Brad is warranted here. Brad is, in fact, correct (I know, I know) that the 2004 Cazin deserved more attention. I thought it was fantastic. And I don't always think Cazin Renaissance is fantastic. This one also kept getting better and better. I kept going back to it for a thimbleful more. Maybe Brad and I were the only ones? Probably the vintage helped tame an occasional tendency toward alcohol in riper vintages.
The qualification: ESJ. Wow. Magnificent. Not in decline. If Steve is lurking, thanks!

The only reason you could keep revisiting and revisiting it was that there was practically no other wine to be had. What choice was there, really?

A few days ago we opened two 2007 Sancerres Les Monts Damnées, one from François Cotat, the other from Pascal Cotat. Let the record show that the less sung Pascal showed better; slimmer, tauter, more minerally, the capsicum under strict orders to not hog the spotlight; the François being somewhat ripe and advanced, the capsicum out of control. No cat pee in either.
