Of course you must now realise that I hate you both with envy inspired passion that borders on the holy! :angry: |
Well, if it is any consolation, I lucked into them. I had no idea what I was buying. I just did it, as I said, on advice. FWIW, I also bought a 1987, which is considered a pretty poor vintage. I only wish I had been into wine when the 2000 were released. Those are supposed to be classics.
Also FWIW, I was green with envy at the vertical tasting Albatrossity did. I am probably not enough of an oneophile to truly appreciate such an opportunity, but I sure wouldn't turn it down either. I really need some rich friends like that. Unfortunately, most of our friends are broke-ass horse people who like wine from a box and think Michelob is a high-end beer.
