my favorites from a bordeaux grand tasting

weener,

if they were offering 2000 lafite futures at $119 per, i'd be on my way to being a rich man :-) sorry if i got you hot and bothered. actually, $119 was the tasting special 20 percent off discount from their regular $149 price for the 1999 bottling. B-21 is currently offering the 2000 futures at $349. i'm not sure what they opened at (i think it might have been $299). as for whether they'll be offering such a deep discount at next year's tasting, who knows. anyhow, their website is:
