In an attempt to shift the focus here, I did just get a stream of tasting "notes" for 2015 Cayuse which identifies them as flawed and notes that they are not being delivered because of cork taint. I get that not everyone understands the private versus public tasting note thing, but this is the first time that I indicated that I found the reviews unhelpful.

I saw those too. Not right, and I'm glad you did that!

That is IDIOTIC and those posts should be removed. What is the point of that?

In the grand scheme of things the strength of CT is that people post what they want without editorial censorship outside of Eric's golden rules.

No value and no harm in the note. As a wise man once said .... hakuna matata

There is no harm in it but it also doesn't contribute anything to CT either. I guess this is no different than people leaving scores on a wine but then leave no comments about it. This also doesn't contribute much to CT IMHO. It's inert, I get it.

I'll say it again...Trevor and Christophe are class acts. Thanks guys.

Status: offline 		I just got my annual SQN "no soup for you" email. I liked the postcards more, but I guess the cost of rejection got too high for them as their waiting list grew.

Honestly not sure if I'd order any at this point, anyway, except perhaps to resell/trade. We'll see what happens if/when I ever get an allocation. Breath not held.
