Introduction

My father-in-law passed away in 1998 leaving behind a good number of bottles of wine for his family to enjoy. About forty bottles remain ranging from cru Beaujolais (Moulin-a-Vent) to 1961 cru Bourgeois to a couple of first growths and some very nice California reds. The wines are mostly from the late seventies through the mid-nineties with a few from earlier vintages. He was not a big spender but he bought well and for the long haul. Under this event, I will record notes on those wines I am allowed to partake of as we open them.

Caveat: There are potential storage issues. A few years after his death, his garage wine cooler crashed and the wine may have sat in the heat for some time (we just don't know). The wine was then stored in a refrigerator for a number of years, albeit on a low (warmer) setting. . At least one bottle of premier cru Bordeaux has proven to be bad.
