Nah, I'll just report it as stolen. The cops don't care about that once the paperwork clears. ;)

Not to worry! I may steal 'cranial flatulence'. Do I have to inform the
government that it was a gift? ;-)

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "DOH!" Good catch, and it was indeed cranial flatulence. ;)

Hey Joe,
After reading your piece on 2006 Cornerstone which appeared to be genuine and knowledgeable I decided that your mention of the 'Right Bank' Cabs was simply a momentary brain fart. Left Bank--Cab dominated; Right Bank--Merlot dominated. Other than that, thanks for the info.

No doubt! They are delicious now, and perfectly drinkable, but as we learned at dinner that night, they become SPECTACULAR with age. I don't know why, but until that evening, I never thought of California wines as particularly age-worthy because, unlike so many Bordeauxs, they tend to taste good when they are young.

Now, I seem to recall that dinner party but I would hardly call you a crasher! Ok fine maybe you are a crasher but welll, you were an invited drunk. I mean blogger. I mean crasher.

I agree with you about the Cornerstone wines - young they might be, but sexy, velvety and powerful they are. I would certainly buy them if I saw them on a wine list. or if my cellar had some shelf space for aging!

Yum!
