When I come across an older blog post like this and read the comments, often I like to reply to a comment that was previously posted. I noticed here that visitors cannot reply directly to a previous comment. It would be helpful if you added that feature.

Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Monvinic.

For you, this topic was never really open. But thanks for coming here.

Regarding the dinner at Monvínic, Mr Campo said that he paid his share and that of Mr Miller. As far as Monvínic is concerned, Mr Miller’s conduct was beyond reproach and we consider this matter now closed.

@ MONVINIC: what we want to see is not the invoice but the payment…
Of course, we have to trust you, OK for the amount, why not?
It’s funny: you’re Spanish, so you protect the spanish Pancho Campo when you tell us that he payed for this invoice. But Dr Pancho doesn’t need any protection, he never said anything about ethic rules… In addition, we know his philosophy: “money, influence, reputation, etc…”
You protect Pancho Campo, by the the way, you confirm officially (if you are Monvinic) that Jay Miller didn’t pays for this dinner, that he offended against Parker’s ethic rules.
Thank you.
PS: hope we’ll can visit your place who looks fantastic, with incredible prices; we know Jay always choose the best, if he went there, perhaps it’s because you’ve surpassed El Bulli an Can Roca.

Thanks, Monvinic.

I am stupid, so I always need further clarification. 4 people paid for dinner…1 winery owner, a wine merchant, an enologist, plus Pancho Campo, whose title is chauffeur for Jay Miller?

Jay Miller paid no part of the meal? To your knowledge?

Of course, he was out for a meal with an enologist and a winery owner, which in and of itself, is a violation of what Robert Parker set forth in his new “strict standards” last year.

Just want to make sure that we are all on the same page.

On behalf of Monvínic, we would like to clarify the misunderstanding that occurred in relation to the dinner held by Jay Miller on January 17th in Monvínic. The dinner cost €1,215.80 and the bill was paid by 4 people: Sergi Ferrer-Salat, Pancho Campo, Quim Vila and David Martínez, enologist. If you want a copy of the invoice, do not hesitate to contact us. We regret that this dinner led to some misleading comments – we can assure you that we do not know the source of this information. Sincerely, the Monvínic team.

Jim, the video is recorded. And it’s always on Pancho Campo’s wall on FaceBook. But we also have a nice photo, if you give us a mail…

I believe that someone saved it. At least someone emailed me this morning, to that effect.

Next time you find a video like this, please record it before posting. Now, because they have removed it from Youtube, Pancho and Jay will simply act as if it didn’t exist, and blame irresponsible blobbers rather than their own lack of ethical standards.
