A new and improved method of writing wine tasting notes.

Deleted by author.

Bob,
Wines we haven't tasted? I can't remember any . . .

But to expand on the idea of a different way to write tasting notes (stop me if you've heard this one), let me share with you the very best tasting note I ever read:

"NV Toffoli Prosecco ($10-12)

I had just finished shopping at Trader Joe's for my weekly pantry
maintenance, when I saw a fifty-ish man in a floral print shirt, Dockers
and old loafers hop up on the back of his cart. He proceeded to ride
along the gentle slope right to his car. Following his example (and much
to three year old Michael's delight) I did the same. Just that bit of
breeze and fun on a hot, muggy day made me feel refreshed. The fellow
shot me a knowing smile and drove off. It was a brief encounter, but it
still makes me happy. I should do that more often.

Happy summer, friends.

The author is my friend, Larry Meehan and if you don't think its the best ever, I understand But of course, I wasn't interested in information about the wine - I was interested in the way it made him feel.
Best, Jim

Thanks for sharing that note, Jim. I remember being impressed with it some time ago -- quoted it too, if I remember well. The feeling is priceless and I treasure the moments I've felt it.

Best of holidays and the New Year, Jim.

Regards, Bob
