At 76 the great man wasn't even old... when you think how little you and I still have left it is sometimes sad... but just for a brief moment.Patrick is another story... he's an old goat, and these tend to go on forever!
only 25 more years left, max!"
When I think of how many humans I already outlived and how fortunate I am to live in a society with a long median life... I'm pretty damn lucky.
Still not a long way to platitude...
Or are your indulging yourself with that good Pinot noir of Oregon that belongs to me?
be sending Vic a bottle one of these days and it's up to him to control himself until he sees you to share...
You can not take any liquid as wine on a plane.
Victor could not take the good Riesling I would have like to give him on his way back home.
So I had to board a not so sober Victor on the plane....
what was it? It had to be German....
Actually you will find some excellent one in the Alsace and Austria.
In Germany in the Rhein region and the Mosel ( this one are very filigrame ).
The one I was talking was one of the best ( The best after the test from G & M, that came out a week ago ) of this 2005 year, who was excellent in every aspect, maybe the greatest in the last 100 years.
Beware of 2006!Here is the wine, Victor could not take with him...
That's on flights to and from the US, on flights within Europe you can carry on bottles. If tin comes through with that bottle, I could put it in my check-in luggage... kinda a long logistic route, but at least gets the job done!In fact, as I was standing in the security check line for the US bound flights (these are segregared in Frankfurt from the normal security you need to go through to get into the airport, so for US flights you have to go through it twice), there was a guy with a bottle of wine in his hands, so my impression was wine might be exempt, which would make little sense, but something worth investigating.
For the sake of that Riesling!
