The memory's the 2nd thing to go. I'da sworn I'd posted on this but nuttin' came up. A really fine example of what Tom can do with the lesser vineyard. Lovely stuff with all the proper elements, meat, berries, spice and barny all hitting the nose and carrying over to the tongue. Had this for lunch yesterday with a baked chicken breast sammich. Good stuff. Seems to be OTOIG so will be drinking this hummer up in the next few. 90/90 39 on futures 14.9% alc. WW

Had another for lunch yesterday and the wine seems to have put on some weight since the last bottle. Now it looks like it mite be 2-4 from TTOIG. Still tasty as all git-out. No change in scoring. WW

WW - your secret to life is wine with just lunch and dinner or do you do a little with breakfast? Sounds delicious....

Hi PW! Used to be a 2 a dayer... one at lunch and 1 with din-din. Then after the 80th me ole bod tolt me " Cut back sucker or I'll make youse pay". Being a reasonable type I listened and have cut back to a bottle EVERY day at lunch. Sumetime I miss the nightly but me body absolutely verifies it be rite. Going in for my yearly stress test tomorrow. Like who gives a rats-patootie (outside of my lovely CB) . WW

Now wait just a minute. I definitely recall, as I'm sure do many others on this board, that besides the lunch and dinner bottles, you also had the "Breakfast of Champions" when we were up in the Finger Lakes. As I remember, that included a bottle of Glenora Brut.

Vacation Breakfasts don' count. Besides I was much younger and had more staying power. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Had another yesserday. As already documented this is drinking swimmingly. May get slightly better but with my jaded tasties doubt I could verify. The rest best find a dark nook in the cellar. WW
