I was reading in Decanter, this morning that Figeac was demoted from 93 points to 85 by King Parker? Anyone try this recently? There must be something going on for it to be demoted by that many points.

I had a chance to taste this by the glass last night at a French restaurant in Rye, NY. And it was quite nice. Since I never heard of this chateau before, I opted to try and seek out the wine for purchase. Unfortunately there is nothing around via wine searcher. PJ's is selling the 09 vintage. Anyon...

i would be concerned about storage, the feds really are not up on proper storage rules and regulations set by us wine geeks. For instance when was the wine confiscated? And where has it been housed since then?

I like the information about the history of Margaux. Glad to see Lettie writing again about wine, not sure why she left Food and Wine

is the list on an above thread? Usually most offlines that I have attended have waitlists posted in an above thread

probably worth seeking out some 2006, best price here in NYC is around $56.00 at Zachys, so the real price should be around $40.00

if there is a wait list for the bordeaux dinner please add my name to the list. THanks

I sampled the 2007 vintage last year at the UGC in NYC. The Pommerols in general had the best lineup at the event. The Gazin was a highlight of the bunch
