Hello All,

Hi DBQ. You only have to post once on this board. If anyone has the answer you'll get it.WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

I found a listing on winesearcher.com for $66 per but can't speak to the drinkability. Parker rated that region's vintage as 87R which is above average to excellent and ready to drink given good provenance. I would be suspect that this wine saw good storage if you found it in a Safeway so pop the cork and post your notes.
