Back when I attended high educational facility in suburban Michigan, there were just two sexual orientation options available—gay or straight—and no one even mentioned gender beyond strictly male or female. It’s not that other possibilities didn’t exist, or that everyone neatly fit into those categories; people just didn’t talk about it. Now, we have a plethora of terms to describe sexual identity, sexual orientation and gender. Comprehending all the terminology may not be easy for those of us who grew up with gay/straight/male/female as the only possibilities, but hey, learning stuff is fun. And so is being respectful to humans of all flavors and varieties.
Whether you identify as gay, woman loving woman, trans, gender fluid, gender non-conforming, or some combination—there’s a wine pairing out there for your sexual/gender identity/orientation. Let’s drink the Gay rainbow, baby!

DETAILS
Anyone ever open a Le Gay (Pomerol)?

I bought a case for a song almost a year ago but haven’t opened any yet. Given the combination of how they performed in and how much I’ve enjoyed other Pomerols (La Conseillante and VCC to name a couple) I’m curious if anyone has any experience here.

LOL, when I read the title I was thinking “ La Conseillante and VCC are really good.” But apparently you already realize . Unfortunately I haven’t had Le Gay. I had a Certan Giraud that was okay but a little over the hill. I don’t recall recently having any other 81 Pomerol.

Not waiting. Recent delivery and haven’t had a chance to crack open the case yet….frankly it might be buried in one of my off-site lockers so I need to locate it first.

I love those two 81s—not all that far off the 82s IMO. And I forgot to mention Trotanoy which is really good too. I’m generally a fan of quite a few 81s—PLL and Haut Brion really good, though the 82s for those and perhaps Trotanoy are difficult comps.
