Status: offline 		So I had one where grabbed not the first bottle of the night, it was dark, and didn't have glasses on and instead of yanking a $50 1er burg that was a few years old I grabbed a new release Gran Cru burg and popped it open. Dang vintage labels on the back. :)

drank - 2017 Maison Harbour Charmes-Chambertin Aux Charmes
meant to open - 2014 Maison Harbour Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice

What have you opened by mistake?

Usually a can of worms!

Turns out in my shuffling around in the storage locker I pulled two 2013 Beta CS Montecillos instead of one of each for early consumption. I mean the barricade tape label looks identical for both.

It was a delicious mistake!
