I was there with my wife and father-in-law last summer. Amazing place. Here is a crazy question, did you happen to take a photo of the price board showing the prices of wines, honey, etc from some time in the long ago past? It was near the exhibit showing the various containers for transporting wine by ship, I think. My father-in-law lost his picture and I wanted to have a replica made of it as a birthday present for him for his wine celler. <br /><br />Thanks<br />Tomtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177570676116819608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159578680459427485.post-58473044744230952992011-04-21T23:26:03.142+08:002011-04-21T23:26:03.142+08:00Haha, sorry, I couldn't help it.

I don't remember much anymore; I was pretty tired and tipsy by then.<br /><br />Jojo,<br /><br />Thanks again for the opportunity to re-taste. I actually had another bottle of the '98 La Mondotte, but, after opening the first one, I gave the other to a friend as a birthday gift.<br /><br />I recall that when I told Stephan von Neipperg that I tried his '98 la Mondotte (though admittedly very young), he said "Make sure to try the '96". Which we did with Doc.<br /><br />Best to you both,<br /><br />NNoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877156455140431162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159578680459427485.post-38270324489598082262011-04-21T19:41:57.056+08:002011-04-21T19:41:57.056+08:00aaron- yes, you did say St Emilion.
