... to the elementary girls' basketball coach who was ejected from a recent game for yelling and screaming at the referee.
This type of behavior is unnecessary and unacceptable for a coach for third, fourth and fifth grade girls. This was an "elementary"" game, not the NCAA. Shame on the coach and bravo to the referee who would not tolerate his behavior.
— Alice Butler, Jeffersonville
... to Charlestown State Park Staff. In a few short days they cleaned up Trail 2 so it was passable Friday evening.
— Bill Longest, New Albany
... to Floyd Central High School's new traffic plan. I have to drive past the school every morning to go to work, and the new traffic plan is working very well for me.

... to the new sidewalk extension on Country Club Drive in New Albany and to those who were instrumental in making that possible.
I now will not need to walk in the street while I push my little shopping cart to do my errands. I believe that the sidewalk is a pleasant addition to the neighborhood. Thanks.
— Linda McKnight, New Albany
... to all of the individuals involved in the quick and timely transformation of the former Boardwalk Burgers building in Jeffersonville into a neat and clean Dairy Queen.
This transformation happened almost overnight. You should be commended on your quick work. And you opened when you said you would be open. It's nice to see such commitment.
— Rayla Ratzlaff, Jeffersonville
... to the manager/owner of the abandoned Smoothie King establishment on 10th street in Jeffersonville (next to Papa Murphy's).
I was so excited to see your store open, as you were the first Smoothie King I knew of to offer a drive-thru). I waited and waited ... and it took you forever to get this place open. You were only open for a few months, then bam! ... closed at the beginning of the year for "beginning of the Year inventory" and you have yet to open again.
As one who is addicted to smoothies, please if you do not plan to reopen take the Smoothie King signage down. I am tired of craning my neck to look at your store every time I go past your establishment on my way home in hopes that you will reopen.
I am paying my chiropractor way too much due to this.
— Rayla Ratzlaff, Jeffersonville
... to the New Albany Police Department from the entire Neafus family.
NAPD escorted my brother's, Dr. James L. Neafus, procession to his final resting place with great respect and dignity. Thanks also to Cpl. Mark Richards of the New Albany Police Department.

A second lawsuit against police officers who responded to reports of a crowd outside a Thornwood bar and shot a Pace University student will be filed in federal court Oct. 12.
Aaron Hess, a Pleasantville police officer, killed D.J. Henry on Oct. 17, 2010, shooting him from the hood of Henry's car as Henry was driving. He was not indicted by a Westchester County Grand Jury; the family filed a wrongful death lawsuit. The U.S. Justice Department is also investigating.
Michael Sussman, attorney for the Henry family, said the story coming out through depositions for the first lawsuit, which was filed against Hess and his employer the village of Pleasantville, drew a very different picture than that described by police after the shooting.
The new complaint, which also names the Town of Mount Pleasant, includes information from depositions by Mount Pleasant police officers Ronald Gagnon and Kevin Gilmartin. According to their descriptions of events, after Hess had shot three times at Henry, Gagnon and Gilmartin went to Henry's car. Henry was breathing and conscious, according to the lawsuit.
Gagnon cuffed Henry while Gilmartin held him by his right arm and shoulder, then they put him face down on the ground.
"In light of what they had seen and heard, they knew he had been shot," the lawsuit alleges.
Neither called for urgent medical attention, nor did Gilmartin—a trained paramedic—check on the college junior.
"To my way of thinking...that sequence of events contributed to the demise of Mr. Henry," Sussman said in a phone press conference Wednesday, calling Gagnon's and Gilmartin's inaction "simply so reckless and so inexcusable that they must face consequences in a federal court."
Like us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Sign up for our newsletter
Last week Sussman released the deposition of Mount Pleasant Police Officer Ronald Beckley, the second officer to fire his weapon that night. Beckley said during his deposition in federal court that he fired his gun to stop Hess, whom he saw on the hood of Henry's car, did not know was an officer and felt was the "aggressor."
"I was shooting at a person that I thought was the aggressor and was inflicting deadly physical force on another," Beckley said.
Hess' attorney, Brian Sokoloff, criticized Sussman last week for releasing Beckley's deposition, calling the move premature.
According to police statements after the incident, Hess was injured when Henry hit him with his car.
According to Beckley's deposition, Beckley believed he had shot Hess.
Hess has been out on medical leave since the incident. Sussman said today that Hess's medical records have been made confidential by his attorneys.
Sussman said he expected the second suit to be merged with the first, but that it had to be filed before the two-year limitation on wrongful death lawsuits runs out.

Cardinals quarterback ends up on Craigslist
Apparently struggles at the quarterback position are ripe for comedic fodder.
And poor spelling.
An ad was placed on Craigslist with the title "Arizona Cardinal Quarterback - $1".
Someone is trying to basically give John Skelton away.
Dubbed a "slightly used quarterback", the listing says Skelton "can not seem to look away from entended receiver" and "has movement skills of an out of balanced washing machine".
The ad says they will gladly trade Skelton for Detroit rookie and former Boise State star Kellen Moore -- or any other winning quarterback.
It also states responses to the ad should be sent to the Arizona Cardinals.

My first 'real' job as a lawyer was as a prosecutor in the DeKalb County Juvenile Court. I loved it. I ended up working there for over ten years, and left only because I decided that after ten years it was time for me to see what else was out there in the world before I got too entrenched and no one would ever let me do anything else.
It didn't take long in my tenure there to learn that there were certain patterns. (There are also patterns in private practice, such as the 'back to school' divorces, but that's a topic for another day.) Every time there was a school break, there was a large uptick in shopliftings and burglaries and generic fights. A lot of folks do their Christmas shoplifting, too. The hours of 3-5pm were prime residential burglary hours. The reasons for this were fairly simple. School keeps kids occupied with productive (or at least non-destructive) activity. As soon as school lets out, whether it is at the end of the day, or for an extended break, there is nothing productive for a lot of kids to do, and during these times of day their parents are working, so there isn't a whole lot of grownup supervision.
I'm not talking about the kids who are on the school teams, or who play an instrument in the band, or who have a job. Those kids are capable of finding their own things to occupy their time. I'm talking about the kids whose family support isn't what we wish it would be, either from complete lack of interest or an inability because they are working two full time minimum wage jobs just to keep a roof over everyone's head and food in their bellies. Really, think about it. There are so many families out there, where Mom or Dad can't be present because they are working 50, 60, 70 hours a week just to keep the bills paid. I don't know about you, but those are the people I want to help – the people who are trying as hard as they can but it just isn't enough. I'm talking here about kids who want nothing more than positive attention, and, when that can't be gained, they get attention in any way they can. When you are getting arrested, everyone is paying attention to you, no? You are the focus of a whole lot of people. And Mom has to stop what she's doing to deal with you. Since there aren't adults who are either willing or able to make these kids feel good about themselves, they turn to their peers. And we all know what good judgment your typical 15 year old kid has, and what makes them laugh, and what they think is 'cool'. It isn't good grades and law abiding behavior.
In working with the Juvenile Court in DeKalb, when I did it exclusively, and since in my private practice in many Courts all over the state, I can tell you this: I have never seen a kid in Juvenile Court who was an active participant in the Boys & Girls' Club. (Well, as a defendant. Some might have been witnesses if you want to be technical.) This really is an amazing organization. Unlike almost every other activity for kids the entrance fee is ridiculously low. Seriously, it is something like $35.00 for the whole school year. So all the families that can't afford a babysitter or afterschool care, or the price of sports and other activities can afford this. They even provide transportation from the school! It gives kids a positive, safe place to be when school is out, and teaches them all about leadership and friendship and cooperation, and all of those things we'd like kids to learn, as opposed to which stores has the least observant security guards, and what kinds of locks are easiest to pick. If you have ever heard one of the graduates speak about their experience there, what they came from, and how the Boys and Girls' Club helped them find a future, then you have cried. If you have not cried, then you are some kind of soulless robot.
My friend Lindsey Hickman is on the board of the Walton County Boys & Girls' Club. She emailed me a few days ago and asked if she could hijack my blog for a day to give them a little publicity. Naturally, my first thought was, "Requests? What am I? A lounge singer?" But then I thought well, why not let people know what a wonderful public service this group can provide? Most of us are oblivious to what it does. Lindsey also supplied me with some helpful facts that I could use, my favorite of which is that for every dollar spent on a child at the Boys & Girls' Club, $5 is saved down the road in terms of prison costs, public assistance, and public housing. Normally, I am pretty skeptical of numbers like that, which usually sound made up to me. But having seen first hand how much it costs to keep a kid on probation, or put him in jail, and knowing how many zillions of tax dollars each year go into public assistance programs, I think that dollar figure is probably pretty low. I don't want to give a person a fish on a prison lunch tray. I want to teach them how to fish in the free, fresh air. And that, in a nutshell, is the mission of the Boys and Girls' Club -- they want to teach these kids to fish so we don't have to pay for the fish on their behalfs (behalves?) later.
On the cover of the latest Walton Tribune (am I allowed to say that on the Patch?), I read an article about how the Social Circle Boys & Girls Club had to close and it was 'merged' with the Monroe Club. What a tragedy it would be if the Monroe Club closed as well. I'd expect burglaries and shopliftings to go up, too.
Naturally, even though a child is only charged $35 for the year, it costs waaaaay more than that to keep them occupied. Another fact Lindsey gave me for use herein is that it costs $1000.00 a year for each child at the Club. That extra $965.00 has to come from somewhere. Consider it an investment -- every dollar you spend now is four dollars you don't have to spend later. More if you count the alarm system you'll have to buy after the after-school burglary and the extra home insurance rates after you make a claim. I also happen to know that most big stores jack up their prices to make up for the stuff that walks out the door and to pay for the security guards. I don't know about you, but I have no interest in paying for these things for these bored jokers. I'm too busy trying to scratch out my own living. I've already outed Lindsey, so I won't out her further by giving out her contact information, but I will give you the address for the local club: 405 Community Circle, Monroe, GA 30655. Surely when we are forking out $45 for the latest video games, we could find something -- if not money, then supplies, or our time, or whatever they need -- to save money down the road.
This concludes the public service announcement portion of this blog. I will return to my usual drivel in the next posting.

Advertising marketing & media
I love trivia games. Love them. I think I own every Trivial Pursuit version ever created. I love trivia so much I even co-wrote a book one time with some buddies on movie/TV trivia. Of course my wife will remind me that the word "trivial" is a more appropriate way to describe my penchant for facts but, that's just her opinion.
The reason I bring up my love for useless data and information is I want to reposition my title as a query:
What's the #1 thing that keeps marketers up at night?
A. Social media
B. Integration
C. Big Data
D. What to wear to the office holiday party
E. None of the above
The answer is E.
Sort of. I say "sort of" because I of course have no clue what keeps marketers up at night but I do know that one thing that is adding to their sleep deprivation is the topic of patents.
In case you didn't notice over the past several years the amount of patent battles between some pretty big brands have been waged in the courts. Samsung vs. Apple. Google vs. Facebook. And on and on and on. The folks over at visual.ly put together this handy dandy graphicso you can keep score at home.
As you can see there is no shortage of litigation.
And rest assured marketers on all sides of these patent disputes watch intently and look for any competitive advantage they can capitalize on.
Paul Meadows, the former head of marketing at LG Electronics says marketers are always at the ready to strike "Marketers like nothing better than knowing there is a window of opportunity when an opponent is prevented from doing something," he said. "That's when you can invest to best advantage."
Now imagine if you're a marketer who's in charge of a given brand or product but is unable to market said brand or product due to a patent dispute. You sit idly by as your competition takes full advantage of the situation.
And the practice of patent litigation is increasing every day Gregor Pryor, head of digital media at law firm Reed Smith: 'Litigation has accelerated because technology has accelerated; there is real money involved,' says Pryor. "'If you can stop somebody using a particular file format or software, then it gives (your brand) a competitive advantage."
But there is a caveat emptor of sorts when it comes to filing patent according to intellectual property attorney Nicholas Wells of the law firm Wells IP Law. Wells actually likens the process of getting a patent to that of owning a used car. "While patenting a fabulous new technology (or idea) is wise, the knee-jerk rush to the patent office may not always be a good investment," says Wells adding "… that for many innovations that a small business might considering patenting, having that patent is probably no better than buying a used car." He breaks it down into three reasons:
Ok so if you're a marketer who is in a position to either take advantage of a competitor's patent pending issues, are you taking full advantage of it? Are you a marketer who is considering filing a patent on behalf of your client?
Will what you just read affect your next steps at all?
What role, if any, do patents play in your insomnia?

Download it now to read this article plus other related content.
What is the Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI), and what does it have to do with data storage? ESG senior analyst Terri McClure delves into the technology.
The Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) is the centerpiece of an effort the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) defines as "the functional interface that applications will use to create, retrieve, update, and delete data elements from the Cloud."
An interface such as this is the key to standardizing how we'll create and manage cloud storage data objects. It also holds huge potential for cloud storage.
Currently, most cloud storage service providers use a proprietary object storage interface. These proprietary interfaces are similar -- they're all RESTful, with basic "put," "get" and "delete" commands -- but they each use different semantics. It's like the French spoken in Paris and the French you hear in Quebec. Many words and phrases are identical, but enough differences exist to make communication difficult, unreliable and sometimes even impossible.

The TASCAM DIGITAL PORTASTUDIO DP-32 is one of the best and most affordable ways to remove the mind-numbing glow of the computer screen from personal recording.

Not only that, you can create ideal settings for each track. (set #9 to #12 STEREO, then set #13 to #22 MONO) If all tracks are set to MONO the DP-32 becomes a 20-track multi track recorder.
21 faders eliminates layer structuring
The DP-32, even with the high number of tracks and features is one of the easiest multi-track recorders in the market to use. The DP-32 has 20 track-faders and one master fader. You can control any track with ease.

Comments about TASCAM DP-32 Digital 32-Track Portastudio:
I recently purchased the Tascam DP-32 Portastudio mainly as a curiosity since I had read reviews it sounded better than a computer-based DAW. I've been recording, mixing and mastering songs using a computer based DAW since 1999 but I also wanted to expand my studio by being able to easily pack up a piece of equipment and take it to another site and record acts in remote locations and not have to worry about computer crashes and glitches So I wanted to record outside the box in live situations or recording acts in their rehersal/practice areas.
I performed some tests on the unit and the first time I heard the sound coming out of it I was extremely surprised. It gave me the warm fuzzies the first time I heard it and I'm a pretty picky customer.
I loaded up a jazzy song I've been working on which has good brass hits, walking-rhythmic drums, guitars, bass, and piano.
The first thing I noticed is good instrument separation in the playback and a good punchy feel to it as well.
I must say, yes, this unit does sound better than my computer-based DAW though this unit and a DAW would work well in any particular work flow.
You don't have to apply a lot of compression with this unit since it really produces a loud signal from the get-go. The song I did, I sparingly used some equalization on the individual instruments, and on the master, enough compression for blend and a touch more equalization on the master as well. I kicked out a CD from the unit and played it all over the place; my home computer, my living room surround system, a older boom box, a better mid-range boom box and my car stereo. Each case the sound was great for the particular equipment I tried it on.
The only knit-pick I have with the unit is that it's a bit time consuming entering a song name using the data wheel when creating a new song.
I'm starting to record my next album and the Tascam DP-32 Portastudio is going to be my new workhorse.

Comments about TASCAM DP-32 Digital 32-Track Portastudio:
I got the DP-32 in the stupid deal of the day, but when it arrived it was DP-32SD which lacked some of the features like Midi, and the CD burner.
I contacted MF customer service and they sent the correct one out in few days. As for Tascam DP-32,for a compact digital mixer with built in effects this thing rocks. you have to compare apple with apple when you review some of the comments written about the limitations. This boards does everything you need to do to make a excellent quality music. I have the SoundCraft 32 digital mixing board in my recording studio. since I got this thing, I find myself going to Tascam DP-32 first rather than the Soundcraft. It is much easier to just power it up and start recording. AS Musician's Friend Customer Service, these guys are true professionals. I've never been dis-satisfied with thier service. they always taken care of me.

Comments about TASCAM DP-32 Digital 32-Track Portastudio:
I started out with a Tascam DP-004, which I quickly upgraded to a DP-008. I used that for a couple years, but recently wanted to have more than 2 input channels for my drum mics. I looked at the DP-24, but for just a little extra, I decided to go with the additional tracks on the DP-32, which has 8 input channels.
It operates similarly to the DP-008, so the learning curve has been short. I also got an awesome deal on it when Musician's Friend price matched a competitor. MF's customer service was great, and the Tascam unit is sure to provide years of great service!

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — An administrative judge has sided with the classified employees of the Medford School District in an unfair labor practice complaint filed against the district.
The Mail Tribune (http://bit.ly/V1ddXD) reports the complaint with the state Employee Relations Board alleged the district engaged in bad-faith bargaining in 2011 when it imposed a final contract offer on the employees.
The district faced a budget shortfall in 2011 and asked its employees for 8 percent cuts. After months of failed negotiations, the district imposed the contact on the classified staff, including a requirement that the employees contribute 6 percent of their wages to their pension accounts.
A school official and a representative of the Oregon School Employees Association both said a proposed order in the case is preliminary and can be appealed.

blower as well as a vac is a great combo. works really well. hose is stiffer than the last on I had, but maybe it will soften with use.

This model is much quieter than the last one. Works great and less noise is a real plus. I also like the leaf blower.

We purchased this Shop Vac for use around our home. This model has a blower feature too that we've used to blow the dirt/sand off the driveway too. It is a useful tool for any homeowner!
Killeen, TX
Craftsman shop vacs are not meant to last! My last one gave up the ghost after only 32 years!..........and as a consequence, I had pretty moderate expectations for this vac. When it arrived this evening, I was excited. I immediately took it to the shop (1200 sq ft) and assembled it. (of course, I went in and asked momma if I could go out and play this late). My analysis is based upon a comparison to my old vac. Despite the fact that latches which were once steel and are now plastic, I was pleased with the engineering and construction. The "improvements" such as hose and implement storage are exceptional! BUT......the vast improvement is the suction! This machine will truly pickup nuts and screws and the ubiquitous pea gravel. Generally, I am exceptionally pleased..............there is only one MAJOR draw back: the vacuum is made in China! I expect that the endurance of this machine will be significantly LESS than my previous model!.

My 15+ year old Craftsman shop vac finally died. This is the closest replacement I could find. So far, so good. I really like the blower attachment. It is easy to use and is sooo much more powerful than the previous shop vac. I was hoping they would come up with a better arrangement for the wheels/casters. I guess I will just have to learn to be more careful when dragging it around the shop and garage.

My husband and I purchased a similar wet/dry vac over 30 years ago. It is still running, but not as good. It has been put through a lot. I purchased a new one and love the new features, especially the fact that you can store the attachments right on it. It will come in handy vacuuming my car and the sawdust mess from wood projects.

I would have given 5 stars, but the attachments are not very secure and fall off easily. I'd hate to lose something...and then have to pay for a replacement. It does a fabulous job on both wet and dry. I'm glad I did not get the larger model, this is big enough for me now. I would have liked to have owned it sooner. Coupons for replacements or additional parts would be a superior bonus! Thank you!!

Beatrice M. (Harris) Johnson
MOUNT UPTON — Beatrice M. Harris Johnson, 83, left us on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton.
She went to join her husband, Howard, their little girl, "Lolly" and the rest of her family that predeceased her.
She was born July 12, 1930, in Oneonta, the youngest child of the late Lawrence L. and Bessie Mae (Waterman) Harris.
In 1935, when Bea was only 5, her mother passed away. Her sister, Gladys did her best to fill in, even though she herself was still a child. That was the first of many struggles in her life which made her a strong, brave woman, even as her body became frail with age.
On Feb. 13, 1947, she married Howard Johnson in Mount Upton.
Besides being a mother and wife, she worked for a short time in Norwich knitting mills; then for many years she packed shoes with amazing speed at the Norwich Shoe Company.
She was a member of the Tuscarora Chapter NSDAR in Binghamton. She loved watching the birds and animals especially when camping at Copes Corners Camp Grounds with family and friends. In the summer, there were lots of strawberry shortcakes, fresh berry pies and cobblers. In the fall, we had homemade pickles, canned tomatoes, apple crisp; many apple and pumpkin pies. Her apple pie became our gold standard. We seldom ate them anywhere but home, because they were never as good. She had a bumper crop of apples this year and even helped Barney pick them.
Beatrice is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Howard R. "Barney" and Debra Johnson, South New Berlin; two daughters and sons-in-law, Linda and Gary Slawson, Binghamton and Sharon and Dr. Louis Jablin, Staten Island; grandchildren, Travis Johnson and girlfriend, Kristin Hloucha, New Berlin, William and Carmen Slawson, Roanoke, Va., Jon Slawson, Windsor, Jeffrey Slawson, Buffalo, and Benjamin, Megan and Melissa Jablin, Staten Island; great-grandchildren, Drake, Brianna and Lindsay Slawson, Roanoke, Va.; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Raymond and Carol Johnson, Unadilla; sister-in-law, Florence Johnson, Norwich; as well as several nieces; nephews; great-nieces; and great-nephews.

As a girl, I loved Nancy Drew.
The old, hardcover editions in which she stylishly solves crimes were stored on the bottom shelves of my town's small library. I spent hours there — finger running across the spines, checking off stories I'd already read and mysteries I'd solved a chapter or more before the book's end.
I liked that my nickname "Vansie" rhymed with Nancy. It made me feel a kinship with the titian-haired girl full of gumption.
As a grown-up, I still love the savvy teen detective who drives a blue roadster and wears pumps.
It's why I fell completely for the short-lived but smart and funny TV series "Veronica Mars."
Veronica, played by actress Kristen Bell, is a high school student and her father is a P.I. Their relationship is much like the one Nancy shares with her father Carson Drew, one of many similarities between the two teen heroines. The mysteries Veronica solves, however, are decidedly more modern (which can mean more gruesome and disturbing).
The TV show lasted only three seasons. Its fan base was small but ardent, and by the third year much of what I liked most about it had begun to change for the worse.
Bell's performance, however, never disappointed. She captured perfectly Veronica's outsider status, something difficult to do believably by an actress as blonde and beautiful as Bell.
Since that role, Bell bounced around in other projects including the movies "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "When in Rome." I found both to be duds, despite her charms.
Now she's starring in the new film "Hit and Run," which opens this month. Bell, who grew up in Huntington Woods, appeared at the Traverse City Film Festival after a special screening of her new movie. She's just as winning in real life as she is on screen.
She told the festival crowd she most related to her teen sleuth role.
"Veronica Mars is closest to who I am," she said, adding the character shared her own sense of "snark."
Following the film screening, I walked out of Lars Hockstad Auditorium behind two teenage girls. They gushed, as teenage girls are inclined to do, about how great it was to see Bell. A perfect end to a wonderful day, they said.
It reminded me how excited I used to be to crack open a new Nancy Drew mystery each week and how I still love to escape through a great movie or book.
It also illustrates how important that first hero is and how she (if you're lucky) can define the kind of person you want to be.
Me? I always (still) want to be the woman with sharp instincts, a fantastic wardrobe and best friends like Bess and George.

A Davenport attorney has been given three years of probation for his role in a fraudulent mortgage scheme.
A news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt says 57-year-old Paul Bieber was sentenced on Wednesday. Bieber also was ordered to pay restitution of nearly $38,000. Bieber had pleaded guilty to misprision of felony, which means he knew about the crime but didn't report it.
Prosecutors say Bieber was retained to represent the owner of a Davenport house that was sold for an inflated price so cash could be fraudulently diverted. Six other people have been convicted in the scheme, including two former mortgage brokers.

Cellar/Tasting Notes " A dark, structured wine, with dense black tannins. This second wine of Château Haut-Brion is firm, tough, solid, lightened by acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Straight down the line, this wine shows fruit and acidity. The tannins are relatively soft while the fruit is forward. Blackberries, coffee and licorice notes all come together."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Chocolate, espresso roast, plum, fig, and black currant aromas are followed by a dense, rich, full-bodied Pomerol displaying superb purity, elegance, and noticeable but ripe tannin. There is not an astringent element to be found in this savory, layered, opulent 2006. It is ideal for drinking over..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An opulent, ripe wine from the ever-improving Beychevelle. It is rounded with new wood flavors along with just the right amount of tannin. Deceptively soft, with a solid, dry character behind the fruit."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "As I have consistently written in the past, this limited production cuvee, from a 12-acre site that contains a parcel of extremely old vines, 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, is meant to last three decades or more. Tasting like a liqueur of rocks interwoven with creme de cassis, espresso roast,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Lovely aromas already, with currants and blackberries. Full body, with very fine, yet dense tannins and a rich finish. Reserved and sophisticated. Noble tannins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes A wine virtually custom-built, but nevertheless stamped with a brand of classicism, a very Haut-Bailly vintage.
Chateau Haut-Bailly has a distinctive style that harmoniously combines classicism with modernity, elegance, finesse and softness with structure. The silky smoothness of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Beychevelle's style is for elegance, and this wine epitomizes that character. It is sweet, soft, with light tannins, achieving a balance of black fruits and acidity, light in structure and depth."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Midnight oil? Dense black purple to the rim, the 2009 Lascombes has enormous concentration, with loads of graphite, blackberry, and blueberry notes as well as hints of pen ink and truffle. The wine is super-intense, full-bodied, fleshy, and rich. This is another wine that will compete with the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bright ruby-red. Expressive, full-blown aromas of black raspberry, currant, licorice, tobacco, woodsmoke, pepper and dill. Dense, sweet and spicy but a bit youthfully folded in on itself; the hints of dill and fresh herbs carry through on the palate. Today I sense a lot of young cabernet..
