Number 9 — January, 1994
Tasting Notes
Weren’t those Cheval Blancs good? That 1937 has to be the best wine I’ve ever tasted (and one of the better curry dishes too!)

Auction News
We were fortunate to obtain both a 1945 and a 1961 Haut Brion at the November 13th Butterfield & Butterfield auction. The 1945 and 1961 Haut Brions are both 100 point wines, regarded among the best of the century. These will be the centerpieces of our March event.

The next auction is January 29th. Since we don’t need anything special, (and have no money) I’ll be bottom fishing for bargains.
