Augsburger

White Burgundy was a no show so we compromised with a Châteauneuf-Du-Pape duo, 1967 Jaboulet then a 1990 Château Beaucastel. The Krug vintage1989 Champagn and the Châteauneuf-Du-Pape duo meshed nicely with the fried chicken, grits and collard greens entre. If Daniel Bouled did fried chicken and collard greens this most assuredly would be the meal. Dinner did not suck.

Not now but soon.. My wine dinner starts in 1.5 hours and I can't wait. The theme is 1988/1989 Chardonnay/White Burgundy. Will start things off with 1989 Krug Champagne, then transition to some 1989 Montrachet then a 1988 Chardonnay. If we are still standing after that then we will try a Rieussec to tie it all together. Woohoo!

Be careful y'all. First an earthquake, now a huricane.

Happy Birthday Don.... Ooops! Wrong Dawn.

Getting mys tastebuds ready for the Rittenhouse mother lode, Peter Michael 'L' Apres-Midi Sauvignon Blanc, a good 95 degree+ So Cal weather wine.

Congratulations! That is awesome.

Whoa! You have a night job working for Rittenhouse? Nice score, you like cornering the market for this stuff huh?

Mikey, Happy Canyon is a nice place to be. Taking a cue from Mikey and the warm weather I am having a Kistler Vine Hill Chardonnay. The canyon breezes will kick in at around 8pm this evening so I will have another Ashe Vineyards Entre Nous, the 2008 this time since the 2007 was so enjoyable.

Fitz, I would recommend you make an appointment with an allergist next week, you obviously have a horse meat allergy and who knows what other undiscovered allergies you may have.

Happy Birthday Laine!

Ashe Vineyards Entre Nous Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an incredibly delicious Cab, if you have the opportunity you need to track one down, a 2007 or 2008 if you can. Only four barrels made so it will be hard to find but this represents a true hand crafted Oakville classic Cab. Goes great with today's sunset!

I'm not so sure, I have been strolling around that site for the last hour and a half waiting for it to get blocked or some secret code to come up but nothing. Hmmmm, perhaps another hour is required.

Does your hospital serve biscuits? My wife's hospital makes great biscuits. Get well soon Brent.

This is taking some getting used to, anyway to lighten my backgroud just a tad, same from worm hole black to perhaps West Hampton grey flannel?

Happy Birthday !

Thanks, I will start my search this weekend, hopefully BevMo has them. The weather man says Saturday evening will be Manhattan weather.

Besides the Angostura bitters can anyone recommend some other bitters I should have on hand when I venure down the Manhattan cocktail road? Oh, and you guys were right Monoprice is a good source for HDMI cables. What time is it there? It's 6;48PM here...........................

Get well Brent, damn it!

Have a happy birthday Ian!

Lail vineyards J. Daniel Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon. Had a slow start but after ab out an hour opening up this cab has grown legs and wings. Nice should go well with the pruicutto pizza I will be baking in the Barbee. Time to catch the sunset y'all and Cheers to Virgin Al and Juicy Lucy Mike!....oh and et. al...

No backup generators?
