I'm in of course, but am very weak in the Northern Rhone area. I only have about a half a dozen bottles total, two of which would be felonies to open now and one that I brought to our Syrah tasting last year.

I'll be out the door on my way in a few minutes. Since when is Suduiraut from the northern Rhone? Sounds like someone has foie gras on their mind.

Another excellent wine dinner at Christophe and great to get together with everyone again. I'll post my notes later, but for now my WOTN was the ringer, the 2003 Luigi D'Alessandra Syrah, Il Bosco. I guess that's just further evidence of my preference for Italian wines.

Looking forward to the Oz off-line next month. You paying attention Bman?
