I remember the name in Chris's posts (he was there yesterday), but
didn't make an association

Didn't actually know that. I believe Joe brought that bottle.

My birthday isn't for months (no one had an actual 50th this month). I
actually own 2 1960s I'm holding for my actual day. The '60 BV GdlT
I've been holding for a while, and greedily saved. I also have a 60
Fonseca, which is a good not great wine, but I had shared a previous
bottle with Jeff and Jay (and know Gilman has tried). So decided to
also save that for October.
