Will certainly do. In my current storage I have a nice tool that measures actual temperature/humidity and the extremes (lows and highs). I am not too concerned about the labels as I am not...

Tried the 2006: Blackberry, spices, pepper and dark chocolate. Nice long finish, little tart, but maybe drunk too early.

Degrandcru reviewed Simi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2004. (3/5)

Cherry and vanilla, very smooth, lack of finish. Almost too smooth for my taste, lacks edges and character.

Degrandcru reviewed Gaetano d'Aquino Barolo 2004. (4/5)
On Nov 5

High acidity which helps to bring out the flavours. Herbs, smokey and anise. Long pleasent finish.

Degrandcru reviewed Norton Malbec 2007. (3.5/5)

Medium bodied young Malbec. Refreshing and fruity (raspberry). Ideal for a summer grill party.

Dear Degrandcru,

Hello!

This is Daniel Shin, studying in MSc Food Management at University of Surrey.
I am studying the consumer's wine buying behaviour online.
This research seeks the opinion of people who have had an experience purchasing wine either online or from other sources to investigate factors influencing customers’ wine purchasing behaviour in online shopping.
I have to find at least 100 people who have an experience of buying wine online.
If possible, could you send the questionnaire to members and ex-members?
It is linked to http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=jj73z5zbvz3kxvj610601
And if you cannot link to survey, please copy and paste the address on the web.
It just takes 1 min to answer the questionnaire.
I would be most grateful, if you could spare your time to send the questionnaire.
If you want to see research results, then I will send you after analysing the survey.
The research will contribute to a MSc dissertation in Food Management at the University of Surrey.
Any information provided will ONLY be used for research purposes.
All responses will be treated with the strictest confidence.
I am only in interested in obtaining consumers' views.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Shin

"Thanks Ralf. Yes, we have talked about going to Strasbourg. We did a Rhine River cruise in Dec. We will have a car so want to visit wineries and tasting rooms. Did I understand correctly that you're now in Mexico? Something connected with wine?
