Come to think of it, it was kinda strange they way he bolted the first time I appeared.

Was your lady friend at home? Maybe it wasn’t only apples he was looking to pluck!

That’s John in the pic?!?!?!

nice try boys, but this doesn’t qualify as a wine/law thread until you get some wild-eyed ex-pat living abroad ranting and raving, delivering opinions without facts, insulting folks, all the while bragging about his conquests and his hourly rate way back in the day.

Deliver that and we’ll all take ya seriously.

PS- 12. Massive girth. Like godzilla on steroids.

So the guy had a great Holdredge costume and you were fooled!

Loren_Sonkin · October 31, 2013, 8:28pm

Brian, are you going to get a coravin so you can infect your wine with TCA intentionally and have Holdredge stop by on a regular basis?

Brian_Tuite · October 31, 2013, 9:10pm

Why infect a good bottle? He replaced the last one sight unseen.

There’s more to this than meets the eye… … Holdredge was going to filch some apples… steal some tools… something… . no… … there is more to this than we are hearing… we need some lawyers speculating on this…

I agree. We all know how sharp and devious all lawyers are. Clearly, he had been about to pilfer the apples when he saw Brian come back. He then thought quickly and grabbed a bottle of wine out of the back of his truck (probably had been there for months), and said “Here, I . . . uh, um, . . . yeah, I came to bring you this bottle.”

Think about it. Had he not been there for nefarious purposes, he would would have stopped Brian when he saw him leaving his home. In fact, why did he start up Brian’s driveway, only to leave immediately upon seeing Brian at home. Mighty suspicious behavior. Brian, I think you should call the police now.

John has been driving up and down Brian’s driveway for years, hoping to create a prescriptive easement right on Brian’s property. It’s a side hobby of his.

Nah, it only works if you post the corked wine as part of a tasting note on WB. So what year was that Mascarello?

GregT · November 1, 2013, 2:03am

And we posted!

Cheap ass Mascarello.
