Weenie, JimmyPoo? Yes, I'm still at the ranch upstate. Recently got thrown by a (big) mule, landed on my back on a RR track and am currently waiting my turn for back surgery. Can't walk as it is. It will be awhile before I make it down to share that bottle of wine, darn-it. But I surely will take a rain-check for now. Glad you're still on here and pleased to re-establish contact but it surely has changed. I will have to find Bucko, was doin' a bit of gun-slinging myself. Matched pair of old army .45's, can't hit a damn thing. JimW

I'm meant to say I'm please to re-establish contact. Also, have found a couple quaffing wines to recommend when I can sit long enough to do it. JimW

It's amazing how muscle memory continues after the mind might have forgotten a few things. I was able to long on and enter in my password without having to think of it. I've not been to these parts in a long time and for some reason today, decided to take quick peak and loaf on the site. Wow...Hope I'm not too late to the party! Like may of you have expressed, I've missed all of you denizens. the only good part of this whole break was that I got to speak with WW on the phone for an extended period of time .... frankly now I know why he types this way..... I've been doing my wine things these last few months and to not be able to share what I've been to the last few months made the whole experience somewhat less enjoyable. Wine and wine experiences are for sharing, no fun if you can't share.
Very happy to be back on the board........now where are those bloody tasting notes I took last week......

Welcome back young grasshopper. Expect some lofty postings very quickly. Looks like the old boys club(with some berry,berry purty ladies), be back in session. WW

Back to Jackie's original point - this WineBoard is really the only place I have been a participant in on the the many Wine Forums since way back in January of 1999. Previously, I'd also been on Prodigy and the predecessor of eRobertParker, but Jerry asked me to abandon AOL and all others and come over to the new Wines.com Wine Board and I have been here ever since. This has been an awesome treasure trove of all things wine since I joined, and I really felt terrible when I saw the recent divergence. I'm so, so glad Jackie has come back to put us back on track.
I've been so happy to meet fellow WineBoarders (is that the right word?) at the offlines we've had so far (I do so hope we can have more). Even after the fact, Judy and I were able to meet Verne and Connie in their native habitat, and that was an awesome visit.
Those of us who have been here for years, I'm sure have many, many fond memories of interactions with the denizens here on the Board and it's my hope that we can continue this for many more years.
Well, I could go on and on, and probably throw out some maudlin feelings as well, but I hope all that read this understand that this is really a wide open Forum and we welcome all who want to come aboard, regardless of where you are, or where you feel you are in this wonderful, wonderful world of wine.

Speaking of some of our old friends from the board, I see on Facebook that Bucko's mother passed away. Some of you might have his address or e-mail to express your sympathy.
- winoweenie - 03-10-2012
Thanks for the info Georgie-Love. Will contact him today. WW
- Georgie - 03-11-2012
And by the way, you young whippersnapper, I see that today is your BIRTHDAY! Congratulations! I hope you've been having a great day, and I wish you a wonderful, happy, healthy year ahead. Much love to you, my friend. :-D

Many happies, Verne! Assume you have at least one bottle in that 6,000-plus collection that's worthy of such an event.
