Enjoy them because very few people can apreciate that quality wine.

Understood. This evening the Lefleur was better than the Margaux.

My 2010 Kirkland Malbec was pretty okay with the jambalaya I concocted.

How many other 82 bourdeauxs do you have?

6000 Btls of seriousness...how many air miles do I have...what's the Burgundy collection look like, any DRC's, La Tâche and Grands Échezeaux make me crazy. Lets do a charity dinner.

French wines? :rolleyes:

I've just begun opening my 2007 and 2008 Cabernet Sauvignons, Ancient Vine Zinfandels, Pinot Noirs, and San Giovesses from the Napa, Alexander, and Russian River Valleys - all 91-94 points and OUTSTANDING!

Chateau Montelena (Napa Valley)
Hartford Family (Alexander Valley, Russian River alley)
Hafner (Sausal Creek Alexander Valley)
Gustavo Thrace (Napa Valley Carneros Region)
Sausal (Sausal Creek Alexander Valley)
La Sirena (Napa alley)
Golden Eye (Anderson Valley)

My wife likes the Chardonnays from Chateau Montelena, Hartford Family, Golden Eye, Hafner, and Taylor Family (Napa Valley Carneros Region).

We just enjoyed a Hartford 2009 Lands Edge (they do a lot of single vineyard lots) Pinot Noir with grilled frenched lamb the other night and OMG - IWC gives it 92 points and I've just ordered a couple more bottles because it was so good.

Our desire to spend the next several decades earnestly searching for that next great glass of wine is part of the reason we'll be moving back to our ranch in NorCal this year.

Anyway, the point of all this is that for you wine lover's out there, it's going to be a GREAT wine sipping year this year. ;)

The simple answer is I don't know. We were well catalogued a couple of years ago, until we were flooded out of our Iowa City home, at that time,we evacuated approx 6000 bottles to the farm. We have not yet placed them all of them in their bins, and we already had couple of thousand in the farm's wine cellar.

We were in Ireland a couple of years ago, Nancy was there to give a talk. I had sampled my first Guiness (in Ireland) that afternoon, at the speakers dinner we were regaled with pretty special wines, I dutifully sipped the wines placed in front of me, but wanted more Guiness...So I asked our host if he would mind if I switched to guiness, I comsumed 8-10 pints and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful.

How fun for you guys to have so many choices at your fingertips.

When the SHTF I know where I'm going. ;)
