Ferreira would be my favorite "second tier" producer.

1962 Sandeman VP (2) 1962 Grahams Malvedos VP (5) Wow, that's a bunch of '62, where'd you find it all? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I actually wasn't looking towards picking up anymore '62s since I already had a bunch of the Grahams Malvedos and a couple of bottles of the Sandeman. A retailer...

I saw those and thought about picking up one. Are they VP or Garrafeira?

Re: WineBid Dilemma

It seems to me that once the auction ended, you were the rightful owner of the lot and and discrepancy between Winebid and the consignor really shouldn't concern you. If the misrepresentation had been found prior to the end of the auction, then Winebid would gave had a number of options available t...

Re: What have you opened this week?

1982 Ferreira VP That's an odd year for Ferreira. How was it? It was nice. I noticed that the palate was a bit lighter than I typically experience with Ferreira and it was also a touch more evolved than I would have expected for a '82. All in all, I did enjoy its smooth, elegant and refined charact...

Re: Wine Cellars

Let's see if I got this straight. If an individual has an issue with a Vinotemp product and subsequently voices those concerns under the new "Honest Feedback" clause that same individual would be charged $3500.00 for their portion of the mediation costs. According to the ADR website there ...

Re: In search of Average

The mean is the point where by half of the values lie above it and half of the values lie below it. Actually, that's the median. For the set of numbers {1,2,3,7,7} the mean is 4, the median is 3, and the mode is 7. That's right! I stand corrected. For whatever reason in the back of my mind I was th...

Re: In search of Average

I always thought average was the same as mean, but will admit that Tom's quoted definition from the OED does match at least some practice. Newscasters often talk about the "average" price of a home, when the median is being quoted. Better written reports, IMHO, will use the term "med...
