Yeah boy, if I win my bid this week definitely will have one earmarked for Tahoe again. Is it August yet

Drinking the Mondavi tomorrow night, I'll let you know how it shows.

Resisting the urge to snipe your bid...

If Tahoe is a go, I'll bring one of my magnums.

I had a bottle a year ago and it had about another 10 years of life left ahead of it but was drinking great.

I have high hopes for it.

I hope it shows well sunny. I definitely agree it was many years of enjoyment ahead of it but should still be great if it isn't flawed.

It was fantastic, especially after a few hours in the decanter and an hour in the glass. I agree: it has a long life ahead of it. It still drinks young right now.

Shane, would love to hear your thoughts on this bottle. I have one of these as well.

Scratch that Shane, I just saw your note. Sounds great!

Numanthia Termes, Numanthia Numanthia or the other Numanthia? I really find these names confusing!

Numanthia Numanthia- fine and ready, but not a powerful wine

I just bought an 06 today.

I'm still holding the 2000, which seems to me to be a longer-lived wine than the 2003

Hope and trust the Faiveley won't need a back-up. Looking forward to hearing how that shows; expectations of YUM.

Your greetings were passed on, and reciprocated.

I'll post some notes about the wines we shared in the current 'What Are You Drinking' thread. It was a night with some remarkable wines, and another reminder of how extremely fortunate we all are to be able to live the way we do.

It's Feb. 8, and a sunny, balmy 54˚F day here in Vancouver. Crocuses, snowdrops, pussywillows, tulips are starting to blossom all over the place. I'm pretty sure I've already won the frickin' lottery.

Well FWIW, it was 7 degrees (celcius) and lovely when we were in Toronto at the end of last week. A little breezy especially on Yonge Street but still nice enough to walk around town.

It hit 16°C – that's 62°F – here in Toronto about a week ago. But by this weekend I just heard that it will drop to -15°C. Ouch. Winter is about two months late, but it will finally arrive.

You know, it takes a lot of chutzpah to tell people who are native to Florida just how warm it is in Vancouver.

I don't think I could ever see myself doing that.

Bman, was your dialing finger broken? Or was there another reason you did not let us know you were in town?
