Nice note.

BTW, know you liked the '07 Dr L. It's part of a $7 sale at Zachys:
http://www.zachys.com/Default.aspx?S...3_ezine08_0925

I placed my order, some Dr L and Masciarelli MdA, plus a couple of
'05 Bernadotte at $20 and Pernot Bourgogne blanc @ $16.

Shipping might eat up your savings, of course.
