Wow. The number of spelling errors is frankly embarrassing. Usually the prof heads up the resident pedant patrol, but I seem to have arrived first this time.
 
Holy crap! The Politburo has given premature oxidation the RMP treatment? The mind boggles.

Mark, don't want to draw any conclusions from a limited sampling...right???

One bottle reportedly was a "bit off" so it was decanted and merged with another bottle. The resultant amalgamation was rather restrained but nothing really not to like. It was an enjoyable, if not expressive, complement to the red snapper course. This sampling suggested that the remaining drinking window would not be a lengthy one.

Merged? If it's off then it shouldn't be served, don't you think?

It happened when Brad was arguing with me and someone else about whether 02 L d'Or was poxed and Brad and the other guy went off the rails.
 
seems soon for revisionist history.

but never mind about p'ox; those typos are amazing. and "merging" the wines is really amazing. i guess better to spoil a good bottle than leave some guests without anything to drink?

I only see "artisanal" and "demi-tass." Are there more?

On "merging" wine, I remember visiting Monthelie Duhairet back when the old grande dame was still alive and she claimed, that at the end of every day, she'd mix the leftovers from tastings for her evening glass of wine.
 
The one bottle was only a bit suspicious and the merging (neither by me nor by my accord) made good sense. Surely no one here or elsewhere would have thrown that bottle of Leflaive away.

The resultant blend was tasty and MUCH more palatable than: (i) having each half of the crowd having one bottle or the other; or (ii) having the group share one bottle with scant pours. If the (very knowledgeable) chairman had not mentioned his (reasonable) decision, probably no one would have had any question about the resultant blend.

It worked well. There were no complaints, only appreciative comments.

Isn't that the reason for bringing backup bottles to serious wine dinners.

That is insane.

We appreciate your art, but come on, how far are you going to push it?
 
End of bin occasion...plus backups were neither expected to be needed nor needed, as it turned out. If it had been necessary, we could have switched wines, but this would have been a lesser compromise under these circumstances.

Merging IS common in Nebraska.
