Happy B-Day, Mott.

QOTD: Old enough to know better, young enough to enjoy it.

QOTD: If you had one in Chi, I’d 100% be there. Kudos to you guys on 500. I can’t wait for the next 5 hundo.

Love the Librandi (yes, I’ve had it and gone back for more). And nice shade of link-it-up blue on the cake there.

You know, I feel bad, I didn’t have anything good for a show yesterday, almost feel like I let you down.

How about this, though: go for the Friday three-peat. New Noblaie, on the couch. You know you want to.

Dr T from N. Carolina
QOTD 1 — I’ll say he’s just over a week older than me, 50
QOTD 2 — Nope

Say, are you looking at my CT? that makes two wines panned in 2 weeks the Lion Gri and now the 2002 Travaglini Gattinara

Again, Happy b-Day Mott!

Fun show. This summer is crazy busy at work, but the two CA events sound great. No commitment yet.

Mott = 56?? Happy Birthday, regardless of age.

QOTD #1 – 44?

QOTD #2 – wish I could, but getting out west isn’t that easy these days.

I have had the ‘04 Ciro, and I definitely got the tomato component, but I actually don’t like tomato flavors in my wine so much, I have discovered. I had the ‘98 Travaglini, and it didn’t kill me, but was better than the ‘03 sounded. I also have an un-opened ‘01 Antoniolo Gattinara (though not the single vineyard) in my cellar.

Did somebody say paahhtee? Fort Mason party sounds like a blast, I already signed up.

PS – I guess this means I’m not a lurker anymore.

Great to see more and more Italy varietals being added over the last month Gary.

I enjoy the Gattinara… but think its a littl overhyped, the bottle shape helps!
