I've got about 12 cases of inventory coming in today.

Great deal of Muscato d'Asti (for a sweet wine, this is really good)
a gold medal Syrah from California (2 cases or so)
My alltime favorite Pinot Grigio (closer to 3 cases)
a quaint little Merlot (its French cousin kicks it into swill, sorry)
French Merlot (far superior to the particular Cal. merlot above stated)
Lots of other wine. Of course, most of it goes straight to clients. But I've got some personal stock in there as well. So . . . next time you come to visit Lincoln sites in Springfield, Illinois . . . look me up (better, forewarn me), and we'll sit down for a nice bottle of wine. Or two. Or more.

 It was 16 boxes! Fifteen of wine and accessories, and a box of RotS copies. WooHoo! I hit the motherlode!

I'm a fan of pinot noir, myself.

And good port.

Hey! Nicholas. Great to see you. I would have guessed you for pinot noir. Pairs so well with most cigars and pipe t'backy.

Firle: it was starting on an empty stomach that did me in. That and a long phone conversation on the worst topic I ever treet in conversation - my former so-called family. Funny, but getting onto that topic seems to make whole bottles of whatever I'm drinking evaporate with ninja alacrity! Better wine than whiskey . . .

I'll wait for tomorrow's event to taste any more wine. I have to live in this body for a little longer . . .

Indeed. It helps a great deal.

Had a fantastic Chilean Carmenere this weekend! And a terrible Boujelais . . . But a great deal of fun with old friends and new wines!

Not since I was fifteen. God it was lousy stuff back then. I'm curious as to what I'd think of it now. I recall it tasting like wine and whiskey mixed. I think it was served too cold. Closest thing I can match to that memory is plum wine mixed with a Boujelais?

I'll have to check around; my dad had some friends who brewed the stuff. Seems like there was a sort of cult built around the stuff. If I find some, do you want me to send you a bottle? Or is it just a matter of curiosity?
