Re: 2004 Leoville Barton or 2005 La Lagune tonight?

Ok, my father spied my sole bottle of 82 Montrose and how can I say no. 2000 La Lagune as backup. The above bottles may be part of the NYE festivities. Merry Christmas all!

The 95 dinner was an exceptional evening of wine and camaraderie. Ian's tasting group has an impressive grasp of Bordeaux so an educational evening for mr vino in the best way.

My guests and I are bringing a 6L of a well regarded Bordeaux from 1996 for Saturday. Do we need champagne as well for Saturday? As for Friday, maybe Italian maybe a Rhone-also can bring champagne as well but I know we have the champagne reception at 4.
