Status: offline 		Just after 3pm I was at a retail wine tasting just outside Chicago.  Ended up buying a 1999 Quinault l'Enclos and picked up almost 2 cases of my 2008 Bordeaux futures that had arrived.   No idea where I'm going to put them however....

Well said!  It puts me in mind of a saying from climbing circles:  if you're not flyin' (i.e., falling) you're not tryin'!

Now, I'm not sure I'm prepared to discuss the impotence of Grand Cru or Cayuse, but I can tell you that, on glass three (small pours) of the Cayuse, my mood is vastly improved!

Will rewrite time upon us!

Nice Freestate offering from Lawrence, Kansas.

They even had the required aluminum Festivus pole at the event!

<Sigh>

There are many benefits to living in California (the weather, the beach, the wine, the weather...), but this thread, particularly as I sit here working on a presentation on the future state of IT for annuities platforms (feeling your pain, pjaines), is painful every Friday.

Status: offline 		Now that is hardcore ob2s! But you get the award for first on our shore to crack open the juice today... Colonel wins by virtue of the addition of the V&T... but the Tapas sounds mighty tasty.

Enjoying a "furlough" day today while getting a ton of stuff done... will celebrate my "good boy" status around 5-ish+or- with a vodka martini and then go from there... fish on the horizon tonight.
