So many great wines - just a few of my favorites from the weekend - in no particular order:

1989 Lynch Bages
1989 Leoville Las Cases
1989 LaFleur de Gay
1966 Gruaud Larose
1964 Montrose
Selbach-Oster Bernkastel Badstube Eiswein
1989 Gaja Barbaresco
2001 de Fargues

2001 Fargues on Friday night

Thought the '89 Lynch Bages was decidedly better last night - loved the palate of leather, tobacco, and barnyard. Classic Lynch Bages!

So sad. Beautiful tribute Jeff.

Great first night at Bistro Francais. Thanks Jay and Peggy for being terrific hosts!

stefan- just the opposite in our house. Lori packed the wine; Lee packed the clothes. Lori wont pack clothes until she's halfway out the door to the airport! LOL

I use CellarTracker for inventory management. I'm also in the market for independent temp/humidity monitor. Our system has a built in temp gauge -- but I want an independent one just in case since the summers here are brutal.

Looking forward to seeing everyone -- confirmed for the 2000 and 2002 Calon and probably some surprises as well.

I have a decent selection of 2000 and 2002 and can bring any of the following:

2000 and 2002
Calon Segur
Leoville-Barton
Lynch Bages
Mouton

2000 only:
Canon La Gaffeliere
Cos 'Estournel
Gruaud Larose
Smith Haut Lafite

2002 only:
La Mission Haut Brion
Lascombes

Lori and Lee are in. Please let us know if we need to mail a check in advance for this dinner as well. See y'all in DC!

Check sent today - sorry for the delay. Thanks hm$ for the heads up reminder.

What a great weekend -- many thanks to you all for including us (Lee and Lori from SC) with the group. Special thanks to Howard and Lisa for an amazing weekend. If you all are ever near Greenville, please stop by for some Bordeaux (and Carolina BBQ)!

Lee and I may be a little late to the dinner. Unfortunately, we have client meetings that may last until 5pm or so near ORD. We'll get there as soon as we can!

Lee and I will bring a dessert wine in addition to the Burgs.

Sounds great. Lee and I are looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hi,

My husband (Lee) and I are Howard and Lisa Spector's guests. We look forward to joining you in Chicago.

Lori

My husband and I would also like to join if there is still room. We're friends of Howard Spector and will be attending BWE for the first time. Thanks!

Lori and Lee
