Hey, I would have happily tasted those two, but this tasting was put together because John is doing a Heitz article for his newsletter. Andy volunteered to bring some vintages John didn't have recent notes from, it was targeted. John had several recent notes on the 74 Martha's (which I've only tasted due to Andy's generosity in past), and I'd guess 70 as well. I suspect it would have been a bit presumptuous of me to insist that he bring another $1000 74 (since I was bringing an '84 Bella Oaks which is available for under $100).

Andy mentioned he had been a buyer of the '78 for a long time, feeling it was 90% of the 1974, at less than 20% of price.
