I hope you got great deals, so far I have found the '07 prices to be insulting.

I am trying to figure out what to drink that will make my body cool in this ******* awful heat.

Didn't feel like a baller that morning - the store was allocated 30 Petrus and they all went before 10 that morning and there was a two-per-person limit (not that I was buying).

Apart from the Cos and Leoville, I thought the prices were ok - certainly cheaper than 06 and everything I bought had a pretty good score or word of mouth. The true bargains were all properties that I didn't know. If you want to be insulted, try reading the futures catalogue for 09. I don't care if Latour is a 100-year wine, $1600 is

It's warm up here too - we've been drinking gin and tonics.

Come to Dallas. It's the coolest here right now that it's been since last February.

07 Durrell Vineyard PN by Loring tonight. Very nice. Highly recommend.

Had a glass of the Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir with dinner tonight.

Meh.

With all the great <$30 bottles of wine out there, why do so many restaurants have difficulty putting together a decent wine-by-the-glass menu?

At least in Dallas you're smart enough to own air conditioners.
