Nice work. I did not know about this. I won't be able to take advantage of it but like to keep on top of the news anyway...

Happy shopping for your prized bottles. Please let us know what those were...

Actually, I used the opportunity to buy up some South West wines - Marcillac, Fronton, Bergerac Sec, Gaillac, Cotes de Gascogne, Jurancon - stuff I didn't have handy to finish my SW piece. I will try to get through these soon.
