Thanks James Molesworth...

Ditto, even though I'm jealous of the wines he gets to taste.

Sorry mimik. But huh? You have some read-along program for the forums?

Ditto. I really appreciate that you take the time to contribute, not only through general discussions, but also by posting tasting notes and offering advice.

For he's a jolly good fellow....sing sing!

WS Rhone coverage is the best it's ever been. Thanks James.

I wonder if he'd let me mow his lawn?

Thanks indeed, for being as passionate and savvy about wine, and I say you are a lucky man, being picked to cover the CDP Rhone region rather than some obscure Pinot noir plot , hehe

or Italy

Love the white Rhone reviews

IMHO, James' tasting notes, articles in WS, blog, and forum posts all meet my criteria of what I define as Excellence.

Bravo.

Agree with most of the above. In addition, James M. has comfortably passed James S. in post count, 815 to 753!!

Ditto the above, and add that Molesworth's combo of thorough review of the regions of which he is the chief critic, his participation in online discussions about said regions, as well as his tasting notes on wines OUTSIDE the regions he covers amounts to, yes Excellence, but more importantly to me - PASSION. His coverage (still continuing) of the '05 vintage in the Rhone region has made me feel connected to a region and its winemakers. Many thanks, indeed.

I appreciate the kind words, folks...and yes, I do need a leaf clean up on my lawn ...

Sunday is a day of rest, and then I fly to the Rhone tomorrow, so stay tuned for more...

Life is hell when you're so busy...I feel for you, James. But keep up the good work.
