Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 1, 2003 - In retrospect the bottle was foolishly sacrificed at a dinner party where each guest was meant to supply a bottle with a story. Little did I realize the other guests were all complete yobs and or cheapskates when it came to wine (although of course they would loudly proclaim to be gastronomes of the first water); you can tell much about a man by his bottle. This bottle did have a story, tracing as it did, my first encounter with the wines of Bordeaux, my first adventure into futures, a long friendship with a fellow wine lover, a comical exercise in trying to get the things shipped from N.J. to Il which involved shipping empty styrofoam wine cartons from Napa Valley to N.J. via UPS (the clerk was shocked that such a large box could weigh so little) not forgetting trying to stuff the things into the back of an Alfa Romeo Spyder Veloce Drophead Coupe. Unfortunately, by sharing it with this mob it was quite wasted, and I didn't really pay great attention to it. Luckily there are five still to go.
