Holy Moses. What a journey. Are you fugging kidding me. Whose genius idea was this? To write a book about WWII told by the greatest winemakers in history. Incredible. It’s not a linear story so much as a collection laid out in mostly chronological order and including everything from the Lafites to Perrier to Adolf and Hermann to the children of Domaine Drouhin.

Is it just Portland or do all cities’ recycling centers make an art installation out of their recyclable garbage?

Alrighty if you were with us Saturday night you tasted Chateau Taylor-Taylor with one of the dinner courses. Here’s a pic of it with Andreas’ (Zues chef) gravlox w/caper and peppers. This guy sure can cure him some salmon. Firm and smokey, this is great stuff and it flatters the hell out of my wine of which there’s only about twenty-some cases left so if you’re wanting to get in on it, now is the time.
Buy some Chateau Taylor-Taylor.

We have rocked Australia. But now BrizVegas is fukt. I have never experienced the kind of tropical pummeling which this particular spot on the planet surface is currently receiving. Driving to the airport was like a Mad Max movie, but wet. Cars dead in the water…. on the freeway. 70 degrees and hailing the size of my knuckles. God I hope after all the delays I’m sitting thru now that I can escape this sometime tonight.
Onward to Europe.

Well we polished off two bottles of Chateau Taylor-Taylor with Thai food the other night and it rocked. I had the viticulturist from Rex Hill winery over and he was blown away.
The wine turned out lighter and brighter than I thought so you can add slightly tangy dishes to its pairings now too. It’s more like an Oregon Pinot Noir which is probably part of why my Rex Hill guy loved it (They make a huge number of modern, high quality Pinots. Check em out). The finish on this wine is where it’s at. That’s where you can tell the quality and the age of the vines. It’s long and ancient.
Well anyhoo I can’t wait to bring one into my favorite Mexican joint and get seriously fatter. There’s Indian right down the street so that’s my job for tomorrow. I’ll letcha know how it goes.
If you can put some away for next spring/summer you’ll be glad you did. The bottleshock will have gone away and well, plus this wine turned out to be pretty summery.

Yipes! My achin’ back!

(2012) When this movie was over it took about a minute and twenty seconds for me to start it again. |

(2012) It’s like the value pack of artistic credibility: you pay for just over two hours but you feel like you got about four. |
 |
(2010) Mostly miserable. |

Ok, the wine is at the port in New York. It’s in America and is getting trucked to the warehouse today or Monday. THEN it gets sent to everybody who bought some and curry and mexican food sales are gonna skyrocket!
I tell you what though, I’m gonna have a major Mexican seven course dinner party and go thru like two cases the first night. God this is exciting.

Chateau Taylor-Taylor arrives in port on Friday. I CAN’T WAIT!

(2011) I really love these movies but damned those writers have a klunky bitch of a time trying to rationalize out all the goofy names and costumes. |
