Number 3 —\u00a0 April, 1993<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Haut Brion tasting is coming together.\u00a0 An auction purchase, some trades, and a purchase from Joe have doubled the wines we have available.<\/p>\n

Treasurer’s Report<\/h1>\n

I imagine most of you will be paying your quarterly dues this Saturday, at the regular group’s meeting.\u00a0 Until then, our current balance is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auction News<\/h1>\n

As expected, the bids at the last Butterfield auction were quite high.\u00a0 As a result, we were successful on only one lot.\u00a0 We were fortunate, however, to acquire the best possible lot of the ones bid on.\u00a0 This lot contained 1957 and 1958 Haut-Brion and 1957 and 1958 Cheval-Blanc.\u00a0 In addition to filling in our Haut-Brion tasting, we now have six old bottles of Cheval Blanc for a future event.<\/p>\n

Other Acquisitions<\/h1>\n

The following wines were purchased from Joe Spinelli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my own cellar I’ve traded in the following wines.\u00a0 Bahans Haut-Brion is the second wine of Haut-Brion.\u00a0 The last three vintages have been rated 95 or above.\u00a0 La Mission Haut-Brion is next door, and in many vintages is considered to be the equal of Haut-Brion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still plan to purchase some recent vintages of Haut Brion from Zachy’s to round out our tasting.\u00a0 The ’86, ’87, ’88 and ’89 will be among these acquisitions.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/h1>\n

Andy reports success on the restaurant front.\u00a0 We’ll discuss it Saturday.<\/p>\n
