Last night: fresh caught Louisiana trout with pecans paired with Drouhin Saint-Veran 2006. Nice, but the wine was better post-fish. #wine

Flew down to New Orleans yesterday - Spencer's first flight. Little guy was great. Slept 1 hour, watched all the people the other 2.

1st Spencer gets sick. Now Catherine's sick (& hasn't slept in 2 days). I'm home watching both of them. Poor coughing baby.

Frankly, with baby & wife sick, I feel like I'm in the Great Escape. Any minute the virus will tap on my shoulder and ask to see my papers.

@drvino I think a more raisiny old port. Though a Sauternes w/good acidity might cut thru the cloying sweetness.

Poor Spencer has a horrible cough. Catherine stuck home caring for him. Boudreaux the pug is taking care of her.

Been loving Colbert's winter Olympics coverage. But he better not make the curling team. That's my future sport, Stephen!

I'm a bit sad today that I have never been an "incredible rhyme-animal." Well, something to work towards.

@dfredman I find it amusing that it echoes what French vintners in Languedoc have been saying for years.
