Thanks Robin.
I sincerely hope that this is the last time the word 'cult' is used in the same sentence as my name.
But both Diane and I are having fun with this and we think the sites we are sourcing from have a lot of promise.
Best, Jim

Meant as a fond and complimentary joke, Jim, as I'm sure you know! All the best ...

Congratulations Jim.

I am however puzzled by one think: you make 20 cases and you still have something to sell? At standard European winemakers, such a stock would serve family purposes for at most a week.

I assume that sending bottles to Europe would be a hazzle.

Jim - best of luck! I feel really confident that you will make great wine to my taste (will have to come over one day and taste them if you have any left :wink: ) because of all the regular WTN contributors to this forum, your selections match most closely with the wines I enjoy (and I'm definitely not only talking about Jura here)!

Hey, I've heard people use "cult" to refer to Brun, Ollivier, Raveneau, Roumier, Vatan, and Donnhoff. Not bad company.
