I'm confused! First, who waved the '47 & '49 theme, and why does a 2004 St. Julien Bordeaux not fit the appropriately aged Right Bank theme? Wink

One more question if I may... are there any open seats for this offline? Razz


Yes, there are 2 seats, mine and my husband. Feel free.

No geography lesson needed. That was a mistake that I admit. My head was in my Birkin on that one.

But since I'm not makeing enough of an effort I think it's best that I pull out of this and offer up our 2 seats. No worries

A Birkin is a Birken it has no sinster/ulterior undertone. You can easily search Birkin, I'll give one hint, just like right/left bank wines, it too is made in France.

And Birkin's cost more than any right or left bank wine starting at about $7500 to over $100,000. Sadly, I have none in which to put my head.

Well made on the right bank it carriees left bank wines very well. And it ages very appropriately. But enjoyed when it's very young just the same. I love my Birkin

Thats too bad MM, but if you feel that you have to bow out then you have to do what you have to do....

Hopefully we can meet up in NYC...

Sure if you want to although we don't do BYOB as there is no need with all the fine wine lists that the restaurants we go to have.

Yes I am bowing out. To have said, these wines are not good enough, or we would prefer something older, or even just point out that an error was made right vs left bank, easily done when you have other more important things in life going on, would have been a much more age appropriate mature way to handle things.

I strongly suggest instead of a geography lesson, an adult behavior lesson.

I would have been happy to just bring somthing else as one person who did behave as an adult suggested and gave the appropriate reason and explanation, alas he is not attending, but I have decided to just bow out with such infantile behavior. Whiie the wines may be appropriately aged, the bevhaior will obviously be infantile by some.

I hope everyone enjoyed their evening and the wines.

No worries no harm no fowl.

To those travelling have a great trip and enjoy Montreal

Our splendid company alone isn't enough to come up for? Eek Big Grin

BTW: I was thinking that having you AND PH at the same table would, in and of itself, become the entertainment. Razz Cool

PH is indeed a handful. I would only try to offer balance to PH's style and antics. Wink

Put me down for 2 as tentative.

I need to use up some of my Aeroplan points and we have been thinking about doing a few days in Montreal.
