In which life imitates art

[Christian Miller (CMM)]

..or at least it imitates snark. Does anyone remember the One True Cab thread from the old board? It's more or less arrived.

Oh, Lord, save us. "Chocolate, caramel, chewy in the mouth. Fire and char. Like the best cigar in the world, the rarest spice." Need I say more?

I don't know which I'm less in to, rare spices or cigars.

In what universe does wearing Basquiat socks demonstrate good taste?

 

[Florida Jim]

The biggest swingin’ dick in the valley.

Perhaps in the the universe where over the newly dead, they say Basquiat in pace.

I think it's almost redundant to say that I'd rather have 12 cases of Bone-Jolly.

"...including land that shares a fence line with Screaming Eagle."

I see they are not afraid of good ole irrelevant marketing facts, Burgundian-style.

Totally apart from the marketing claim with respect to the Perrarus, touting close proximity to premier vineyard(s) can have some merit, no? Some of the claims in Bordeaux and Burgundy seem to be at least somewhat reasonable.

Well, they are banking on the fact that you believe that.

Anyone had a bottle of Chateau Lafon-Larzoe, contigu Yquem?

I once got a bottle in a mixed lot and it was not particularly memorable (in a good sense).
