  2/29/2024 3:36:00 PM - Thanks for the follow! I loved reading about your wine journey and look forward to following tasting notes. There has to be a back story to the handle!

  7/28/2023 8:14:00 AM - Thanks for becoming a fan. I read your profile and we definitely think alike, particularly your comments about drinking wine to enjoy with food - that's where I'm at. Loved the quote from Terry Theise. I'd never read that before now but it's beautifully stated.

  4/5/2021 12:20:00 PM - Greetings, fellow Bostonian! I look forward to following your tasting notes. I shop often at Gordon's in Waltham and Vintages in West Concord (mostly for Italian) -- if you do too, we are likely to find significant overlap in cellars and tasting notes.

  4/13/2020 12:27:00 PM - Dear Short and confused, Thanks for becoming a fan! I've already seen some of your tasting notes (there is a similarity in interest for the Burgundy) and I will follow your notes. Greetings, FransS

  10/27/2019 4:06:00 PM - Thank you for befriending me. I look forward to more of your notes. I especially appreciate the variety and quality of your interests. As I get older, I find myself concentrating more and more on Oregon Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, as well as Spanish Riojas and Ribera del Dueros. I first discovered Oregon Pinot Noirs in the late 1970s when I had a colleague from Oregon and we used to meet once or twice a year and exchange wines. Lost track of him when the project we were working on ended, but I continued to try a few Oregon Pinots through the 80s and 90s (Adelsheim, Ponzi, Elk Cove). In the past 4 years or so, I have greatly enjoyed St. Innocent, Goodfellow, Patrricia Green, Drouhin, Evening Land, Bethel Heights, Gran Moraine). My favorites in Rioja and Ribera del Duero are Muga (particularly Prado Enea and Seleccion Especiale), CUNE, La Rioja Alta, Lopez de Heredia, Emilio Moro. Again, I look forward to more of your notes.

  11/13/2018 12:46:00 AM - Good to be fans, short and confused (great way to live, albeit tall would be preferable). Wow, early 20s!? You are luckier than us as we were in our early 30s. Working hard to catch up!!! For us, the alphabet begins with "C" for Chardonnay, but a good Pinot Noir from Burgundy is not far behind.

• englishman's claret says:

  4/13/2016 11:44:00 AM - Totally forgot to drop you a note before yesterday - were you at the Arnoux tasting last night? Would have introduced myself had I not forgotten!

• rieslinghoarder says:

  9/25/2015 12:15:00 PM - Glad to see other Bostonians in CT! Are you involved with any tasting groups? Looking for new members?

• Mistress of Wine says:

  9/9/2015 5:34:00 AM - Thanks for being my friend in wine! I enjoyed some of your notes this morning.

• englishman's claret says:

  8/19/2015 10:09:00 AM - I really enjoyed your note on the 02 Bitouzet Pitures. I clicked on your profile and I see you're in Boston, too (and that you also buy from Ian!). There are a couple other guys I get together with in the area (NortonNose and RockinCabs); let me know if you ever want to join us. marc.a.bouffard@gmail.com

  4/1/2015 5:29:00 PM - I noticed how many wines we have in common! Cheers, Warren

• Tudz Drkl says:

  6/24/2014 7:30:00 AM - Thanks for fanning me. I read through some of your notes and I like them. It appears we have similar tastes in Burgundies. I am assuming - being in Boston - you get them at Gordon's?

• sweetstuff says:

  2/28/2014 5:41:00 AM - In many ways you seem to have had a mirror of my own experience, with enough $$ added to pursue Burgundy, which I rarely can afford. We don't know how great it is that we don't have to pay Burgundy prices for our fine Germans! My family is from Boston, too; my late great aunt used to have a house right up from the square in Lexington (next to one of the Adams barns).

• fitzi says:

• bestdamncab says:

  11/17/2013 7:37:00 AM - Thanks for the interesting wine notes to read. while I used to be 50% California red and 50% French. Today, I am probably am 65% California red and 35% Burgundy, Champagne and Bordeaux. The price of Bordeaux makes it easier for me to attend Whiskies of the World and Whiskey Fest here in San Francisco.

  11/16/2013 4:24:00 PM - Thanks for fanning me, S&C. I appreciate the eclectic mix of notes you have going , which reflects to me that you're tasting a # of broad things --well done. My son lives in Marshfield and I seemed to have spent more time in downtown Boston for work the last 4 weeks than I have at home--been enjoying the city but glad now to be home. Look forward to reading more of your notes, too. Have a great weekend.
