Great show, Ronan is adding a new face to Bordeaux. You seemed very caught off guared about the 2006, maybe ‘06 could be the “rebound” vintage after ‘05.

QOTD: Amazing American guys find French women sexy and French guys are looking for American women, the grass is always greener…

Just a great show.

My daughter might be willing to come out to Clinet and taste some wines (chaperoned by her father, of course.) 26, CPA, loves wine, beautiful. (she might want to be consulted before I recommend her and she is in Hong Kong this week. So I will get back to you.

Gary & Ian -Somehow, the sound on this one is better than #503. I am sure you were in a different room……..too much room echo in #503.
