Make sure that everybody knows--wine not just for pleasure, wine all about suffering! :-) 2010--if it's not the Vintage of the Century, I'm not interested. Send it all back. But I'm going to make the call--2010: Vintage of the Mother-Flippin' Millennium. Mark my words. --Matt Andrew,

2010–if it’s not the Vintage of the Century, I’m not interested. Send it all back. But I’m going to make the call–2010: Vintage of the Mother-Flippin’ Millennium. Mark my words.

I saw the chambers email too and loved it. So what are your thoughts on 2010? Andrew Greene One of the ones left behind... Matt,

It is great to see all of the photographs from your visits--Jeff told us about your revamped website yesterday and it is a great improvement. However, you do nothing to disprove the popular notion that people in the wine business do nothing but hang out with rock-star winemakers and drink great wine all day. If you keep perpetuating this myth, nobody will ever listen to us whine about all the petty stuff we like to complain about! By the way, the best e-mail subject line I've received this month came to me yesterday, courtesy of Chambers Street Wines: "Beaujolais 2009--Best Vintage Since 2008!" I will do them one better and make an even more groundbreaking proclaimation: 2009--Vintage of the Year! Sounds like a fantastic trip so far.
