Hello movie fans!Waiting for Kane I suppose is like Waiting for Guffman only I don't think it would make as good of a movie. At least Guffman had an excuse for not showing up. Me? I don't think Kane is ever going to show up here! So Joe, why don't you become the East Coast Correspondent for the Wine Asylum? You write using a lot of pithy, descriptive words and tackle issues that other wine boards wouldn't dare to raise.
And would George Dubeouf take me to France? I used to use his nouveau for Thanksgiving until I figured out that the Beringer nouveau tasted about the same and was 50¢ less per bottle. Is it true that they are chartering the Concord for the trip? Would I meet George in person? I'm sorry that they are not going to hold the ten-year retrospective but I missed the Leroy tasting as well so maybe I'll catch it on the next go-around.
With the higher-than-the-industry-average of females posting here, I don't think it would be a good idea to call each other "brother". Chet thought about joining the Shriners once but we went to one of their dances and it was dullsville squared. A bunch of old guys wearing fezzes mumbling into their scotch and sodas. And if we started calling each other "brother" and "sister", then we'd have to get a secret handshake and write bylaws and swear oaths of allegience and that would dissuade many people from partaking of the CWD's held here.
Finally, regarding the anti-anorexic who fell through his chair at the tasting, I would consider that a potential rating of the wine. Writers use terms such as "dumbfounded", "earthshaking", "mindblowing" (I think Ernest Hemingway used that one when he wrote about Rioja) and the like. Perhaps this fellow was just playing charades and wished to communicate that this tasting was a "groundbreaking tasting, set to rock the foundations of the Burgundy experience". Or perhaps he was just demonstrating the alcohol content of the wine. I'm going to have to look up this Mark Squire board.
Shalom-
Eden
