    Will have to get some 06 Clinet. The 05 I bought and tasted will take forever to develop. An American girlfriend hm. Bet there are some single women who would be interested from this board alone.

    Awesome show, Doing shows like this helps me remember specific producers much better than just drinking a bunch of wines back in the Jers.

    Catching up on my episodes still. I haven’t had a bordeaux in a while and it is time to go to the cellar for some pure french culture! Nice episode.
    How about the fantastic deals on 04s still available!!! Just for example, Clinet = ’04 $75, ’05 $185, ’06 $135
