The Winerd game must be popular, as it shows as being “sold out” when you click on the link through to their website. Maybe you should auction off your sealed copy as a collectible?

As one who devoured Mr. G’s first edition, I’m waiting patiently for the second edition to arrive, anticipating “pulling the cork” on the updated info contained therein. We wine geeks should fly the Geek Flag proudly — maybe there’s another wine accessory for someone to develop, eh?

Good to hear from you, Matt. Paul G puts JM Cellars in the four star category and provides tasting notes for the 1999 to 2006 vintages of JM Tre Fanciulli, too. Nice recognition for John and Peggy Bigelow.

Israel is gaining wider recognition for its wine industry, too. Israeli wines did very well in the recent Decanter World Wine awards competition, getting several golds and one of the international trophies, too. Hope you enjoyed them while you were there.

Professor Veseth,

I’ve missed the blog, glad Isabelle got me reading it again.

Where did JM rank in Mr. Greutt’s hierarchy of Washington wineries? I’m hoping for a 3 star rating or higher, but I think they deserve a 4 at least!

I’ve been able to do some amazing traveling lately and was even able to go wine tasting in Israel! I didn’t even know they made wine there. Hope all is well back in Tacoma.
