ORIGINAL: bestjetsfan I have been scouring auctions trying to find something interesting in the 1996 Bordeaux and 2001 Burgundy categories The only item I have seen recently that is within the defined specifications and is two bottles or a mag in 1996 Ducru, which is an OK wine but not up to the level of the others, and 1996 Pichon Lalande, which seems to show up all over the place, but is already spoken for. I have a friend who is a Mouton collector who bought a case of 1996 Mouton on release and has stored it in his temperature controlled cellar (in Memphis) since then. I will try to talk him into selling me two bottles. As to 2001 Nuits St. George from a good producer, what do I know. It's all Xinomavro to me. I will keep searching. If all else fails, how would people feel like about 1908 D'Oliveiras Madeira Boal? Anyone coming from Chicago? :) I have already purchased the LMHB for Friday night. Unfortunately, I can only attend the Thursday night event. If you'd like I'd be more than willing to offer you the LMHB for exactly what I paid for it. In the last few weeks my schedule has exploded. I get to watch my son on Wednesday night with the College of Charleston Men's Soccer Team. Then it is Burgundy Thursday (My wife and I are so excited). Friday I'm off to a conference to speak in New Orleans. Saturday night I fly to Tampa to speak at another conference all day on Sunday and then fly home Monday morning. It'll be a eventful few days. PS: Scott, I'm sorry I can't make the Friday event. Hopefully the LMHB will be taken up by someone. As a "penance" I'd be more than willing to bring an extra 2001 Burg to make up for the cancellation.
