Oh, there's plenty of '59 red Bordeaux around, but even things like
Cantermerle and Meyney are pretty dear. We'll probably have a dinner
with some of Betsy's closest friends (non winegeeks), and I don't
relish paying $200 for a 2 oz pour of Cru Bourgeois or 5th growth. The
advantage of the sweet wines is a little goes a long way (plus Betsy
loves them). So current plan is a couple of magnums of midlevel wines
from 70s and 80s, followed by the 3 dessert wines.

With notes from you and CWDJRXYZ, I predict the Moulin Touchais will
be WOTN if sound.
