A little envelope arrived the other day. An invitation to a wine tasting of ’49 Bordeaux. Eleven wines: Cheval Blanc, Lafleur, Pétrus, Latour, Lafite, Mouton, Montrose, La Mission,… Nice, we thought, so we checked the agenda for May 11. No problem. Oh, need to check the price. Ah, 2,900 euro. Yes, that’s right. But then it includes a two star dinner at Carré de Feuillant of course. And VAT. If any of you is interested I can make my seat available.
