Hey, maybe that Squires fella was onto something!

He built his wine cellar complete with a front door peep hole and a hidden escape door for possible police raids during prohibtion.

..he was so pissed off at the mechanical cork screw invention, legend has it he dumped half his cellar into the Long Island Sound

One of the first messages received on the island of Madeira when they just had gotten their first telegraph connection was Board-O telling a local wine enthusiast that he was drinking his 18th century Madeira a century too soon, and that he was better off to go sailing with it rather than drink it.

...He remembers when dirt was new.

He is the only person I know who bought pre-Phylloxera Bordeaux on release.

Actually, I bought the 1959 Haut Batailley and 1953 Lascombes that were bottled by Cockburn in Edinburgh. I bought them in 1979 or 1980 and didn't even realize I was buying non-estate-bottled wine. They turned out to be 2 of the greatest wines I've ever tasted.

Alexis Lichine had purchased Lascombes in 1953 and sold off a number of barrels to Cockburn, I'm guessing in an effort to raise money. I wish I had more of it now. It was far better than the disappointing 1953 Latour.
