And you realize she’s just clearing out the dishrack
Lol. We were talking about that last nite when I pulled the bottle and made a toast to Fox having lots of "play dates" in prison. I bought a bunch of stuff from PC. When things were going south I had them ship most of the stuff they were holding for me but I never got everything I purchased. It wasn't too bad for me but there were tons of people who spent big $$ that really got shafted by Fox. Amazes me that the guy spent tens of millions of $$ that they couldn't recover.Oh SNAP, an actual Premier Cru wine in the wild! Did you have any trouble receiving the wine you bought from Fox?
For those unfamiliar with the case, John Fox, head of Premier Cru wine, was tried and found guilty of a Ponzi scheme of sorts with many people never receiving the wines they purchased (though mostly BDX and Burg).

the 12 lytton springs has to be one of the best ridge zins i've ever had. Amazing balance of dark zin fruits with a touch of earthy mushroom and sous bois. Ive got 1 left downstairs and am guarding it with my life! ?
Yeah, it was one of the better Lyttons I have had. Totally agree. It did have great balance and amazing fruit. I am afraid this may have been our last one.

A '74 Barbera? Now we're talking some real age! Very cool.Wow, almost 30 years! Did the Chianti have the bones to go the distance?
We were at Terroir in the city one time and they had a 74 Barbera on the weird and wild by the glass list. Not the kind of wine varietal you normally see with so much age on it. Lol. Wine was pretty much dead though, really tired tasting. Nose of brown sugar and steel fruit cake but taste was amateur basement mushroom farm with electric jolt of incongruously high acidity. They had it there as a novelty as they knew that it wasn't really viable. Whole case was the same. Still an interesting taste of history though.
