Whoa, Berry, how many times can I say sorry? Wow, deep breath. As I said earlier, if you are not currently logged in you will not see the link. I don’t think you are reading everything I wrote (I had revised my reply above). If you still think I am a jerk then so be it.
Ray, I just saw your report on that Krug collection. I am going to board a flight soon and may not be able to chase it until late tonight or tomorrow. Many thsnks!
I always hesitated to use Report liberally. Thanks for the tip, although I’m looking forward to the new UI improving the likelihood that users make the right choice.
By coincidence I just noticed that after one posts a TN, you can go back and edit it, but the same feature does not seem to apply to the private consumption note.
It was no big deal. I just noticed that I had spelled Hanukkah wrong . . . at least according to my spellchecker. For some reason the spellchecker didn’t work in that little box.
I’m going to attempt to move this back into the funny tasting note arena. This is from another board, no clue if it’s on CT. I LOVE the concept of cellaring something for 60 days. I think I’ve been keeping my wines for too long based on this approach.
2005 Robert Sinskey Cabernet, Vandal Vineyard, Carneros, Napa
Cellared for 60 days after purchase, decanted one hour and drank over the next hour.
No cabernet tendencies at all, no Napa indications whatsoever. Blind, I would have never even guessed cabernet, much less small production family Napa. Trotted it out with some chatter about hand picked Carneros grapes for the wife with grilled tenderloin steak (cooked perfectly BTW) and we just kept looking at each other…
It does look a little silly, but I like that on a wine that didn’t show well the guy took the trouble to note that travel shock was likely ruled out. Or at least that’s how I read it.
