Went to the site once about 2 years ago and was appalled at the denseness and lack of civility displayed there. I occassionally lurk but have quit posing on the WCWN because of a difference in what is used as descripitive adjectives but did read your posting Herr Buck-Snort on the Harlan. If you can remember that long ago I got off the mailing list of EVERY Calif winery who put their pricing above the century mark after the 97 vintage.(even tho I knew I could double my money by turning them on release.) Agree that the level of winemakeing has been tuned to suit reviewers rather than what the fruit from the vineyard will provide. Still some great juice being made out there and in the meantime take advantage of the pricing that'll be showing up in the next 4-6 months as the inventories are dumped. WW
