Todd,
Yeah, but mainly the SQVP's or stuff I get from time to time at auction. Oh, and the VERY occasional sale item.

Tom, IIRC, there have been a few wineries over the years that have been caught sending a "different" bottle than what is sold at retail to a tasting panel. There was one dry wine company that one of the big reviewers here in the states (maybe James Laube or Suckling??) called to the carpet...

WOW! I didn't know it was that easy..I will have to try it for myself. Thanks Alan

Mines a combo of Jay, Derek, and Alex. The younger stuff, say 1990-forward, and the cheaper stuff (under $30) get opened whenever without care. The older and more expensive stuff I try and open with other port loving friends so others can share in the fun.

That is quite the shame. IMO, nothing makes a better VP than treading by humans....I guess time will tell.

Wimpy drink...Long Island Ice Tea for me.

equal parts of
Vodka
gin
Tequilla
rum
a little sweet and sour mix
a spash of coke

Derek, have you lost weight? You look quite dignified
