I wonder when the idiots who run London (and Paris) will realize that if they reduce the speed limit to zero, there will be no traffic jams and no accidents?

Premox is not over. Domaine des Lambrays Puligny Caillerets 2015: 1 bottle brilliant, rich but not mineral, 1 on edge of oxidation, 1 still just drinkable, 1 opens well and oxidizes to undrinkable in the glass! Caveat LVMH. Came from Flint Wines, London

[Benjamin Lewin MW @BenLewinMW]

Great wine merchants and not so great:
Majestic – questionable bottle of Bollinger rosé – replacement given, no questions asked
Wine Society – flawed bottles of Puligny – refund made, no questions asked
Flint Wines (LVMH) – Lambrays Caillerets premoxed – no response

[Benjamin Lewin MW @BenLewinMW]

LVMH does not make its huge profits by standing by its products. It bought Clos des Lambrays in 2014 and I am sad owner of premoxed Lambrays Puligny Caillerets 2015. Requests for refund to UK distributor go unanswered.. Big contrast with other producers #LVMH #Lambrays

"While not alarmist the book raises provocative questions: Are scientists becoming technicians rather than critical thinkers? Are contemporary researchers so averse to ‘failing’ that they won’t question established dogma?" @ForewordReviews on INSIDE SCIENCE @CSHLPress @BenLewinMW
