See you all soon, sounds like we have a great lineup of wines!

Getting excited about Friday night!!

See you all there at 7:30!!!

It's all ready April? Woooosh. Hope you all have a good time. Envy, green envy.

Well, since the Rothkos, my wife, and I will be taking a car and driver, I thought I'd bring an additional 500 ml bottle I found at ABC today. It's a 1996 Sparr Schoenenbourg Riesling Vendanges Tardive. The '02 Lorings will be decanted well in advance. See you tomorrow, or is it tonight already?

Btw, I had an interesting discussion with the winemaker at Chateau d'Yquem about 4 or 5 weeks ago in NYC. We discussed the '94, one of our wines for dinner.

Just one more sip.

Leaving in a little bit for the trip to the restaurant!!

Rothko had rented a stretch limo for the drive down to the restaurant, so we joined them for the ride. The restaurant was excellent from amuse bouche through dessert, as were the company and the wines.

We started with a 1988 Krug that was wonderful, surprisingly elegant. I was afraid it might be heavy like the Grand Cuvee. Then we had 2 bottles of the 2002 Loring Gary's Vineyard Pinot Noir, 1961 Ducru-Beaucaillou, 1994 Insignia, 2001 Casa LaPostale (sp?), 1996 Pierre Sparr Riesling Shoenenbourg Vendanges Tardive, and 1994 d'Yquem. All wines were showing very well, except the Sparr, which was horrible. It was spoiled; the color was light, but it offered nothing but sharpness. Nobody thanked me for bringing it- it made all the other wines better.

Just one more sip.

I've been looking for the tasting notes for this event, but I can't find them. Are they gone?

Just one more sip.

somebody couldn't control their need to be ignorant and rude, so after my reply it got removed

I'm sorry to hear that. Rothko started a serious thread with reviews of the wines we had at a wonderful dinner.

Just one more sip.

Ever noticed where Bored-O goes Anthony Inez is sure to follow. Better not stop short thread ruiner. Your little wannabe will fall in where the sun don't shine,

Cheers!

Why are you so unhappy? Arena football lacking excitement? Chill out, lest another of those wonderful royal meltdowns occur.

Just one more sip.

Hey Ant,
Quit while you're a head.

Cheers!
And remember: Life's too short to drink bad wine.

While I'm a "head" or while I'm ahead? I am now starting to think 4th grade drop out. By the way speaking of head, I hear you like.....well, never mind your secret is safe with me.

Wasn't this a thread about a dinner in Florida? LOL. Oh, well. anthony, I think you're ahead, by a mile. Though, if we're measuring bile, you're not.

Just one more sip.

HEY ANT,
You KNOW IT'S BETTER TO GIVE THAN RECEIVE. Isn't that how it is with you and your mentor?

Cheers!
And remember: Life's too short to drink bad wine.

I think the thread was in the tasting notes section, not the off-line events.

Now we are reduced shouting. Am I starting to ruffle your feathers? Life is too short to get upset.

Another misspelling?

I don’t think Board-O is actually anyone’s mentor.

He sure seems to be one pompous blowhards tormentor though.

Some people just aren't smart enough to learn. LOL

It's a shame that the Tasting Note thread was deleted (for the record: Emilio started the thread at 2:00 AM the morning after the dinner!!! ), as there really were some nice notes about the various wines we had.

Agreed. Well, it was a great dinner. Btw, Rothko, our last night in Florida we found a very good French restaurant in Boca with $10 corkage. We tried several French places and this was by far the best. Maybe this Summer?

Just one more sip.

all the little small-minded minnions coming out to suck up. hilarious.
Bring it on and make sure you wear the knee pads with Bored-O's picture on them.
Anytime. Anywhere ASS.

Cheers!

KOH,

By the way, doesn't roller derby season start soon? Or is it time to start covering the local little league games? You might want to start gearing up for all the action. By the way, I hear you have some pull, can you get me some tickets for the ice capades when they come to town?

Any more dark alley threats?
Hey Bored-O tell some more lies and start some rumors. The only thing you excel at black socks and Bermuda shorts.

Cheers!
And remember: Life's too short to drink bad wine.

I don't understand the balck socks and Bernuda socks comment. I guess we're witnessing another in the ongoing series of royal meltdowns.

Don't be angry with me, please. I need your professional advice. I've been thinking of wagering on tiddlywinks. Who's your pick in the next tournament?

Just one more sip.
