		<description><![CDATA[Last night, our Mercer Island wine group got together at Bob&#8217;s house and eight of us tasted a variety of Bordeaux wines from &#8217;86, &#8217;88&#8242; and &#8217;89. The wines were all from Bob&#8217;s cellar and from various appellations in the Bordeaux region so it didn&#8217;t really concentrate on a particular appellation. These were mostly wines that [...]]]></description>

There were, in fact, 34 bottles from 22 vintages including a 6 liter bottle of the 1988 vintage. According to Nicole Kosta, one of the sexy sommeliers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had high hopes for this inexpensive bottle of Grand Cru Bordeaux. At $17 a bottle, I was hoping I had found a real bargain and would buy a case. Boy, was I disappointed to discover that this wine really sucked. The clear garnet red color was about the only thing going for it. Even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Instead of calling it an economic downturn or recession, my wife has started calling it the “new”economy. It seems appropriate since so few Americans remember the Great Depression of the 1930&#8242;s, and for most of us this is something very new.

Instead of fighting the crowds to get a table at an overpriced restaurant in Banff, we decided to pick up a couple of tenderloins, some mushrooms, potatoes, spinach and a nice bottle or two of wine.  We [...]]]></description>
