- winoweenie - 02-15-2010 Found this nestled in hiding in back of the cellar and remembered this was part of a muti-case purchase of 83 Eisweins I'd made before moving here permantly from Colorado. Not really expecting anything I wasn't dissapointed. Sadly, ALL that remained was a few faint citrus notes, acidity, and a complete void in the fruit area. The cork had to be taken out a crumble at a time and then I spent 10 minutes filtering it thru a coffee filter. Not a real bummer as I was with my lovely CB and some really great friends for a lovely Valentines lunch sitting on one of our favorite restaurants' patio and enjoying a gorgeous 78* day. The wine was probably 10+ years past its' peak but looked good in the glass. WW - Kcwhippet - 02-15-2010 Well, it is a SW after all. - Thomas - 02-15-2010 He must have bought it during his sissy time of life. - winoweenie - 02-15-2010 How true! Amazing how fast ones tastes develop with time, and believe me, I've put in the time. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] - hotwine - 02-15-2010 Wow, the world has flipped upside-down! Saints won the Super Bowl, dems lost Mass., hell (D.C.) froze over and WW admits to have once liked SW's. Isn't anything dependable any more? - Thomas - 02-16-2010 Yes, Hotwine, we can always depend on a health insurance increase near 30%--every year! Something to drink about [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] - hotwine - 02-16-2010 Yeah, I get that too, Foodster.... so my retirement income has managed to stay flat, dollar-wise, while actually declining due to inflation. Bumsville. - Thomas - 02-16-2010 Soon, retirement income will have to be referred to as retirement deficit. - wondersofwine - 02-16-2010 My payroll deduction for longterm care insurance went up taking about half of my pay increase for 2010. I also received a performance bonus of over $700 but the need for a $1,000 dental crown more than absorbs the bonus. - Innkeeper - 02-16-2010 Our 2010 paycheck actually went down. The retirement pay and social security were flat, but the witholding tax went up! |
