I got the hint and I'm working on it Nils. :-)...I had a ton of work
piled up on my desk on return and a client was screaming for a
report....I hate it when work gets in the way!

Yes, I did get the feeling that they were al saying the same
thing...like a mantra out of the same book. Most producers have
shipped their 2006's and all complained of the small harvest of 2006
almost as a justification of the price levels in relation to 2005.
They all seemed a bit apologetic over the 2005 wines in that a vintage
like 2005 comes along once in a century and they couldn't dare hope to
make wines like 2005 again...hmmmm.
