Doctor Jay?

@David Cooper

Go ahead and call yourself DR J if you like but I need to see a video of you doing the wind mill dunk.

Miram may show up with the helicopter.

Robert, it’s actually Miran.

Ten days from now I will host a blind tasting competition among friends here in Stockholm. Five reds and five whites. Except for points given to guesses on grape, vintage and region, I have also instructed the participants that extra points will be rewarded for each time they display true affection for a particular wine, like doing the helicopter naked one lap around the house.

Regarding DoctorJay, I can only attest to David’s observation that there is nothing remotely pretentious about Jay Miller. Tons of knowledge and fun to share a bottle - or two - with.

Zooming in on the doctor issue, this Doctor business can be confusing… Here’s some food for thought.

Two Doctors??

Oh, and given DoctorJay speciality, here are two more observations.

Psychiatrist Part I

Psychiatrist Part II

Skål!


PS. HOW do you embed a video directly instead of the versions above?

I know! I know. Those pesky little keys on the iPhone with my fat thumbs, especially with the M and N being so close, viola!

This is my experience as well…

I know this is a real names board, but I would be more than happy if Dr Jay was allowed to use DoctorJay as his real name and put Jay S. Miller in his signature.

I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night, let alone remember which Jay Miller is which.

OK, I’m sorry if I’m guilty of trolling here.

I agree with the post (I think on another thread) that said you should not use the term ‘doctor’, unless you can ring your button when a stewardess shouts ‘Is there a doctor on this plane?’.

However I did not know that Robert M. Parker, Jr., Esquire, referred to the ex-psychologist and current wine merchant Jay Miller at ‘Doctor’. I do know that he has been using the earned moniker forever on the boards and do not begrudge it.

I will continue to use my rarer, but easier to earn moniker on this board.

DrJay invited me to one of the first offlines I ever attended, back in the '80s when we were on Prodigy. I’ve had a couple of meals/shared a few bottles with him over the years and can report that there is nothing remotely pretentious about him. Hope to see you posting more here, Jay.

I have a good friend in Baltimore who also speaks highly of DrJay.

I am, of course, an MD, which they told me at one time was the same as being a doctor (I think I remember this).

Of course in my wine group, I am constantly referred to as “Mr Stimson”, perhaps as a dig, or a not so subtle sign of disrespect, or perhaps they just didn’t believe the Dr. thing (although they are constantly contacting me for free advice), or maybe they thought I was a British surgeon from a bygone era.

Anyway, I want to make it clear from here on, that “Mr Stimson” would be the appropriate form of address.

Then of course we will call you Dr. John from now on!!!

I had honestly wondered a few times if (the original?) Jay Miller here was the same Dr. Jay from TWA in the 80s, so I am interested to see this thread .

Would that I actually enjoyed his music.
