Very nice tribute Jeff. I didn't know her but after reading your piece I felt a little of your loss.

A touching remembrance, Jeff. She does seem to have been a special lady, and you were obviously touched by her friendship and generosity. A sad loss.

That was a lovely personal tribute you wrote to one of the greats of Bordeaux, Jeff.

A touching tribute which prompted me to pull the cork on the first bottle of a case of the 2004 this evening in her honor.
