Anyway. I finally oppened up the bottle you suggested yesterday (Chateau Bellefont Belcier 2005). Very nice wine. Kept some for day 2 to try with a filet.

I do because you have a sense of humour. I'm glad you liked the Belfont.

Well, I decided to do a blind test doing Belfont versus my cheaper Favorite 2009 Château Côte Montpezat Cuvée Compostelle.

There is a say "better is an enemy of good". I hated the Montpezat. I could single out Belfont just by the nose. The Montpezat was almost blendish in comparison. Maybe it was an off bottle, I don't know. Also, I boticed that Belfont got a bit stronger/harsh on day 2. Still good but I felt that day 1 was smoother. Does that make sense?

I am now waiting to open up my 2005 Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru) to compare to Belfont.

A blind test conducted by yourself? Yeah sure.

Ok, I'll clarify.
My wife poured the wine while I was in the other room. I asked her to make sure that both were approximately same temperature.

In reality it was a no-brainer. The 2005 stood out in color, nose, and finally taste. I was just very surprised how uneventful my $18 recent favorite was compared to the 2005 (still have both bottles waiting for day 3 test with some cheese that I usually pair my Spanish wine with). At the same time, I noticed that on day 2 the Belfont got a bit more harsh, almost not as smooth as day one. Not sure why. On day 1 I poured it into a decanter, kept in it for few minutes and poured it back into the bottle before taking it to the restaurant. Is that what you'd call "Aerated"?

Who knew that hyperextending your big toe and turf toe were the same thing? And who knew it was that painful?!?

It's been a really long last six days. I hope the gods are done with me for a while...

Pianist,do you suffer from OCD?

Welcome to the Post-Truth era.

When did Q107 start playing REO Speedwagon?

"I got dreams in my head and they won't go". Dreams? WTF happened to the guns?

The craving for that blonde ale, unbearable

"Mr. Trump, since you're attacking us, can we ask a question"?

Where is the logic?

It was funny, sad and embarrassing at the same time. Effing Alec Baldwin rigged this election.

Technically "Ukrainian", however, I immigrated to U.S. at time when USSR was falling apart, 1993, so, I usually say "Former USSR" instead of Russia or Ukraine.

I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around.

Welcome...

Not my President.

Shake their windows and rattle their walls.

Overheard in downtown LA today-

Woman: How long is this going on for?
Police officer: About four years.

That is an alternate-fact

Robert, I trust you had a restful weekend.

I said that for the last eight years. Delightful to hear others saying it now.

Not my moderator.

Not my President is such a ridiculous statement. If you are a U.S. Citizen...any President of the United States is your President (like them or not).

I was not a fan of Obama at all, but guess what...he was my President.

NOT MY PRESIDENT

i dont understand the vitriol surrounding such a simple phrase

not my president.

There is a very simple difference between accepting the state of the world vs being proactive and ensuring that while he may be my president, I dont accept alot his policies.

Slavery was common in early america too. If i were a slave, my plantation owner pat, would have been my master but it's rather silly to think that one should just relegate their lives happily being a slave.

So, you were not a fan of obama, did you sit there quietly and "suck it up"? Or did you do the american thing and write to your elected officials, voice your concerns, challenge policies of his that you felt were wrong?

so yes, trump is the president, but he's not my president.

But he is your president whether you like it or not. You are an American citizen. He is President of the United States of America. Just like if you were a slave on a plantation owned by Pat then Pat would be your owner. Just because you don't like plantation owner Pat does not mean you could escape the fact that Pat owned you.

JBurman82,

Thank you...quite a simple point. I did not say that you had to agree with your president...but at the end of the day...he is your president.

Has Trump said some things that made me wince...quite obviously yes. But I am of the opinion the U.S. is going to be better under him than what we could of had.

Just listen to the recent video of the woman who want to head the DNC (Sally B Brown). That is some scary stuff!

As scary as someone bragging about sexual assault on tape?

Two sides to every coin my friend.

Except for the fact that our newly elected President spent 8 years denying President Obama's eligibility to be President -

Must have been false news or alternate facts
