Re: Boston Wine Expo Bordeaux 2005 seminar!
I was at the Expo both days, but did not make it to any of the seminars.
I did get a chance to taste a small smattering on the floor, though, and several showed really well.
Fombrauge, La Tour Carnet and Rieussec were all quite young but impressive. In particular, the Fombrauge was a real pleasant surprise. I would buy that one, for sure. Good but not nearly as fine were Le Crock and Carmes de Rieussec.
Otherwise, it was about 4 dozen '07 Chateauneuf du Papes and a mish-mash of other stuff for me...

Michael, I would be interested in knowing the prices if you have that info.

Bill, they did have the wholesale prices listed on a sheet, but I didn't bother to ask. I guess I should find that out before I state with confidence that I'll be buying Fombrauge, but I liked it well enough that I'm not going to get hung up about it if it is a few bucks more than I expected.
