Try Benchmark Wines... They had some 1978 Leoville Las Cases recently.

I'm not associated with this auction, but thought you might be interested:

Geez, I think when I turned 30, the Edsel was the car of the year.

Balderdash. Edsel wasn't car of the year! Smile


Just one more sip.

Do you think the 78' Lascombes has anything left to give?

I had the 78 Haut Brion last weekend. It was spectacular. I've had the 78 Pichon Lalande relatively recently and that was delicious.

This IS next year!
