Thank you so much for all of your replies. I have been gone for most
of the past week, as my father suffered a heart attack and needed
emergency bypass surgery. Looks like he's going to be ok - I'll buy
him a nice tannic red for his coming home present
In any case, the point about storage and bottle condition is well
taken. I have no idea what the reputation of the vendors listed on
wine-searcher are, so are there any in particular that you can
recommend, and also some to avoid at all costs?
Thanks again.
