I do believe you (and others) will find that prior licensees of the Doyle Estate remain obligated under the terms of the license regardless of the court's ruling; I suspect the last word has yet to be written on the subject, at least pending an appeal process. <br /><br />All that as it may be, the overarching reality is that we, and 150 or so Sherlockians, were able to have a good time and find a way to benefit the evergreen scholarship and memory of 1895.<br /><br />By the way, you're not mistaken or cantankerous, as you so frequently refer to yourself; you are, in truth, stimulating, interesting, insightful, and you produce a blog with the stuff of good dialogue . . . That is quite an accomplishment.<br /><br />And now, in my other role as Buttons of The John H Watson Society (now with 135 members from nine countries), it is time for me to celebrate the New Year with a meat pie and a pint or two, and to write a diabolical tangle of questions for our Weekly Quiz.

Happy to say the larger issue of the Doyle Estate Ltd. decreasing your possible donation amount is now settled, and that won't be an issue again.Sherlock Peoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896656391037436805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-79566471988499896362013-12-31T16:19:40.754-06:002013-12-31T16:19:40.754-06:00Brad

In fact, we quickly sold out of the vintage and donated $1,000 of the proceeds to Sherlockian institutions and donated many bottles for scion auctions (BSI, etc.), thereby meeting our goal of breaking even and doing something worthwhile. <br /><br />And, for 2014, we have in oak barrels as I write, the great dark beast of a Zinfandel, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Again, only 200 bottles to be released, first come, first satisfied. All for good works. Nicely legal, and great fun and for the betterment of our beloved hobby.
