Sad news about a former afw regular

Aug 10, 2018 9 Replies

Those of you who've been around for a while may recall a poster "cwdjrx" with a particular knowledge of sweet wines such as Cline Constantia and '76 German TBAs and whose website has been hosting our FAQ for a decade at least. I regret to inform you that he, Claudius W Dwiggins, Jr of Oklahoma, passed away back in April at the age of 84. His obituary is here:


I think that I'll have to open something sweet and toast his memory. As an aside, his website is now defunct, no doubt from a lapsed payment. I might have to retrieve the FAQ from archive.org.

Really sorry to hear that, always one of my favorite posters. What is it with chemists and wine? :)

Thank you for letting us know. I also remember his posts, and am sorry to hear this.

Sorry to hear this. I remember him as a very intelligent poster.

Dan the Man posted a couple hours before you. cwdjrx was the poster who paased.

We all learned something from cwdjrx. Sad.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, but yes, I'm still here, mostly lurking to read Dale's exceptional posts.
