  1. Whether or not you want to believe it, it’s the flu.
  2. On my way to London tonight. The flight is less than 30% full. I expect a lot more capacity cuts as this continues and it probably won’t rebound quickly. It’s amazing how much of an impact the media has caused due to over-sensationalized flu. However, it is nice to travel now that everything is so quiet.

    For California - Schrader, Fairchild (especially the Stones wines), Futo, Scarecrow, Blankiet, Realm and Kapscandy are fantastic wines in that range. Also, if you’re into Chardonnay, Marcassin and Aubert are also really good. For Bordeaux - Most of the second growths like Leoville Las Cases, Ducru Beaucaillou, Cos de Esternal, Chateau Palmer and the right bank grand crus like Chateau Pavie fit this bill. There are so many more - Aussie, Northern and Southern Rhone, CA Rhone Rangers, Italian. Many, many excellent bottles in that price range. If you see something interesting let me know and I’ll give you my 2 cents.

  7. I’m traveling through Narita just now. I’ve never seen this place so quiet. The sushi bar near gate 34 is normally a 15-30 minute wait to get a seat. There are literally 6 people here today. All because of the flu. Unbelievable

    Looks familiar.... I’m raising you a Champagne and a Fairchild on Valentine’s Day in Russia... Excellent choices by the way

    I’m betting the Aubert UV-SL was the winner. 2002 Cos in second.

    I’m guessing the Guigal was the winner for the night.

    The wine’s still good, and 2017 was a good vintage for the early harvests like this Pinot. I haven’t followed the ownership and really just know the label from some guys that helped me learn about new world Pinot. I appreciate you filling in some blanks there. With that said, it was really good. Especially since I didn’t pay for anything

    Very, very nice lineup there. Was the SQN Syrah or Grenache? And how was the 95 Margaux against it (assuming you paired the wines like shown in the pics)? Hard to read the Aubert label... which one was it? And last, which was the wine of the night?
