And so the final tally is 37, or $185 for Dakin and 37 cans of food…hope people don’t mind but I am going to do $190 and 36 cans of food, just because they come in packs of 12.
Turns out the cat food was in cases of 24, so 48 cans of food were sent via Amazon today. Donation on it’s way as well.
Well done, David. A very worthy cause.
LOL. No good deed goes unpunished.

Sneaking one more in under the wire…
I bought a bunch of 2009 and 2010 Domaine Des Croix on close-out prices, never having tasted this domaine’s wines. There were some quite positive notes from Coates and from Alan Meadows. Having tasted through many of them, I now wish I had bought even more.
2009 Domaine Des Croix Beaune 1er Pertuisots
Plush and lush in the context of Beaune. Deep red fruit, esp ripe cherry along with some vanilla and a little kerosene on the effusive nose. Smooth on the palate with cherries and even some cherry liquor but sufficient acid to keep it lifted. Nice depth and keeps that density as it flows across the palate. More polished than many Beaunes I’ve tasted (reminded me somewhat of a Rhys pinot) but highly enjoyable and providing a lot of drinking pleasure right off the cork pull. 14% abv
14% seems high for a Beaune 1er.
Yes. His 2009 and 2010s regularly reached the 13.5-14% abv range. His 2011s were more often in the 12-12.5% range.
