Lol... Classic.
We had the "pleasure" of meeting Rudy in NYC 2003, we were already overbooked at 102 guests for an event limited to 100. I got a call that day and he begged me and was guest #103. Like an idiot I turned down the two London girls there to celebrate the birthday of one of them.
That night I had a '67 Petrus in my left hand that was handed to me by Musigny151, and a '97 Petrus in my right hand that was handed to me by Rudy, which he had sourced from John Kapon, who was guest #102.

"Like an idiot I turned down the two London girls there to celebrate the birthday of one of them".

To think that instead of Petrus you could have had one London girl in your left hand and another in your right. Blasphemy, BD.

Also at the dinner was BWEer Maureen Downey, who did such a great job in "Sour Grapes."

I sat between Francois and Father Stefan. Most wine I've ever drunk at a BWE event. That was the night a "certain someone" donated a case of 82 1sts I believe-only an example of the generosity here!
