Nice Freudian slip 'brainaire-ducru'
Dont drink too much of it or you'll end up with a lot of air around your brain.


But thats why I bought it! I plan on gifting these bottles to my neighbor, with the barking dog, and the screaming child and the wife that throws things at his car when he leaves.....

Finally paid for 6 x 2005 Pavie Macquin from a futures order. Man, did I get lucky with that one as I paid about $100 a bottle.

Are people crazy? RP rates it 98 and within hours it sells for $300-375? Eek Confused What a market!

Now to find some $$$ to pay for my Trotanoy, Lynch Bages and Leoville Barton order. Frown

Just got back from a day in Dundee, Oregon:
1. First stopped at Archery Summit and picked up a case of their just released 07 Rose', got two bottles of Arcus to replace two that were given away.

2. Then off to Shea Vineyards, spend an hour with the new winemaker, toured the winery and talked juice and vineyards for an hour or so. Picked up two cases of 2006 Shea Estate PN, another case of mixed vineyards including several Homer.

3. Drove to Dundee, did a little tasting at Ponzi's, had great lunch at their Bistro. Left with six bottles of their 2005 PN Reserve, great nose and nice fruit.

4. Went to Argyle, picked up several sparklers.

5. Went to Rex Hill, tasted several, left with six bottles of their 2006 Pinot Noir, Ryan's Reserve.

Had a two hour meeting in Portland and am back in Eugene already. Nice living in Oregon in the Spring.

Lucky you. I'm thinking of driving out to Oregon this summer/fall. Only problem is that it's about 2,000 miles away from me. With gas prices that's almost $300 round trip.

Shipped from Oregon today:
2 x 2003 Raptor Ridge Reserve Pinot Noir
1 x 2006 Raptor Ridge Pinot Gris

Check some of the stores outside Toronto. This afternoon I liberated 4 bottles of 05 Le Crau that nobody wanted from a store in Peterborough.

People here prefer the most recent vintage Molson! Big Grin
