Brad, nicely written notes. With you being ITB, I don’t know if you know John Gilman, but I was curious to know how your palate aligns with his. I was reading through that Roadkill article this morning at breakfast (the one that was linked here a few weeks back), and it would seem like you guys have similar dislikes in wine.
TN: Party at Leo's for the Gelbs. Saxum, Pegau, Jaboulet "La Chapelle," Usseglio, Marcassin and more
John is a good friend of mine, Bob. We love teasing each other about each others palates. We do have some similar dislikes, but he’s also more of a high acid, crunchy red fan than I am. I like the Southern Rhone more than he does and he likes Burgundy more than I do. I think we dislike oak about the same.
