Congrats, Dale! I hope that the pup can live up to the memory of Lucy.

I don't think that I've ever had that bottling. Is it one of the
extended-lees-exposure bottlings, a la Pepiere's Gras Moutons and
Clisson? I'm still on the fence about these.

Good to hear about these. I just picked them up last week when visiting
Steve in CA (he can't ship to IN) and have yet to try.
I also picked up a number of his "library" wines (I presume you got the
same email about them). We did open one of them, the 1995 Les Cotes
Sauvage with broiled rack of lamb. Wow, what a great wine! I can
hardly wait to open up some of the older Syrahs I picked up.
