I know I'm forgetting at least 2 bottles because there was a red Burg and a 1982 Bonnezeaux. Perhaps Mimik can fill in the details?
Should also mention that Purple Haze made the long, eventful trek up for this and it's always good to see him.
An epic evening. Was good to see the Montreal gang after a few years. I still retain the image of steve8, indolently slouched in his chair surrounded by bottles of almost empty wine, laughing at all the losers who were headed home before the wine was finished! You sir, are a true animal. Until next time!

PH, I meant to call you and see if K wanted you to bring his 2002 Dom Warhol label I still have in my cellar. I have had his bottle for many years now. Grrr.
Sounds like a grand evening.

As it turns out, this would have been in inopportune time to have brought it. I had a wee bit of an "adventure" at the border this crossing...

Cavity search?
Actually, I got pretty lucky. I did have to go to have my "declarations confirmed."
They actually "missed" 2 bottles and a couple of other minor items. They did confiscate an old and cherished butterfly knife that has resided in my center console almost since I've been driving. I'll miss it. Otherwise, it certainly could have gone worse. After a 10+ hour road trip, including some close to white-out conditions in the Adirondacks, I almost had to laugh that I'd gotten so close to my destination and then had to go through that mess.
