Number 21 — February, 1997
Auction Action
Remember that incredible “curry” wine, the 1937 Chateau Cheval Blanc? It was the hit of our very first Wine Syndicate meeting, and remains the best wine that many of us have ever tasted. Well, we’ve got some more! After searching almost five years, at this January’s Butterfield and Butterfield auction we purchased five more bottles of the ’37 Cheval. Also acquired was an assortment of early 60’s Inglenook Cabernet. These wines are featured at our next event.
Our Next Event
Our next event will be at Disney’s Contemporary Resort’s California Grill, Saturday, March 15th at 2 PM. Dinner will be served at 4:00 PM, and we will have the room until 6 PM. This tasting is an hour earlier than usual, because of tasting room scheduling constraints.
