From a Macarthur's e-mail, wonder if any DC BWEs might be interested in this. Blacksalt is literally right next door to the wine store.

Join us Friday, March 6th 2009:
In-store Tasting and Tasting Dinner with
Francois Thienpont from Bordeaux

In-store Tasting
The Thienpont Family has been making great Pomerol at Vieux Château Certan for the better part of nine decades. The family bought Le Pin in 1979, and has since extended their vineyards on the right bank of Bordeaux to include Château Charmes-Godard, Château Lauriol and Château Puygueraud in the Cotes de Francs. The in-store tasting is free.
