Don’t know, are you reading something else you didn’t post, Juan, or have you

Don’t know, are you reading something else you didn’t post, Juan, or have you upped your meds again without my permission? :-)

Yep, she says the first one has oodles of alcohol that mysteriously goes down easily. But I would take that ";...a very good Valandraud"; thing with a ton of salt. Sort of like when the wonderful Jay Miller, every inch the old-school gentleman, said ";this is correct in its idiom, but I find it horrible"; about a certain high-end California Chardonnay (not an exact quote, btw, but close enough).

And if you find anything positive in the comments about that ";Virginie de Valandraud,"; you searched well beyond what I’m capable of searching. What part of ";hot"; didn’t you get?

I’ve asked myself, and as long as all these ";garagistes"; Parker loves so much keep making such black, boozy, totally-unlike-claret, mouth-numbing swill, I say Jancis has good grounds to hold something against them.
