A collection of dated opinions on wine enjoyed by the Mike, his family, and their trusted friends. This log occupies the other end of the critical spectrum from the lists maintained by connoisseurs, experts, and aficionados but is rather more like a ship's log, documenting a journey through a veritable "sea of wine" noting events which happen both underway and in port. In vino veritas. MLR April 2003
The Invincible Reunion Dinner at Bob and Val's with Neil, the Martins, and the Jolly Mons. Fa bulous cauliflower. A very reliable wine surprising for its youth. Followed by a dosuse of excellent port.

Dinner Party for Jack and Mary at A.D. and Josephines. Spaghetti Divine complimented by some surprisingly good wines (run to Total Wine). Lots of rugby talk. The Caliterra was very smooth and slithered down the throat. The Casilero had a bit more bite but still evoked a flavorful burst of incandescence. A couple of very nice options from Chile, much better than the non-descript French.
