Re: Chateau Carbaneau Blanc

Thanks, Alch. Carbonnieux Blanc also ages very well, so if you like aged Sauvignon Blanc, don't be afraid to hold them to the 15-20 year point.

How critical will it be to be online during the window, versus a couple of hours later? And based on your advice in other years, Howard, is this still too soon to get the best deals?
