No, Marty…it had zero to do with the wine involved. It was totally about the poster. (Don’t overestimate me or my opinions here! I actually don’t read your threads, but thought that this might have been about Chauvenet-Chopin which took over Daniel Chopin’s (Chopin-Groffier) excellent Nuit wines, but…it wasn’t…and I then realized it was your thread.
I understand the result here, even if I don’t like it.
I just wish there were a forum (like commerce corner on WB) where people like you could post away at will without any claims of shilling. It makes things cleaner and people’s motives for posting transparent.
Disclaimer: I am a lawyer as an avocation. (I stopped buying wine after the 2006 vintage, except for Dauvissat and Georges Vernay wines.) I will spread the word to the many retailers who still send me offerings, that they are encouraged to post on WB about wines they sell, though.
