'Pleather', have to keep that in mind next time I go for some Pinots or Pomerols. Hope to find the Neal or especially the Roberts one time over here. Last on ereally sounds great. Blending Vio in Syrah can be great. Have had some SA wines that use the same trick to spice up their Syrah, to have it not to flabby jammy. Last one I had (Fairview) wasn't a real hit however. Pitty, expected too much maybe. Lacked some depth and poise. QOTD: intuition, mmm, my own when there is smth bad to expect. My girlfriend's when there is smth good at hand. QOTD for you: were organizing a ge together with some Belgian winebloggers. Theme sweet wines from all over the world. Smth that I shouldn't forget to bring to the table? We already have an Alois Kracher TBA, a Tokaji (Diznoko 5 put 1995), a Coteaux du Layon, a Picolit, a Premières Côtes sweet wine with some additional Gewurz blended into it, what else?

Have had the Neal and the Bjornstad, in fact my wife loves it. Appreciated the notes on the Neal as I also have an Uncle Shaya though he never bought me vanilla ice cream (in fact he is a pain). As to intuition, I know you are married, whose intuition is better, yours or your wife's? Great tasting notes. Have had the Neal and the Bjornstad, in fact my wife loves it.
