   That is what I had guessed, else I might have stirred the pot some
   myself.

   I notice that some other bottles have closed out at prices in the
   neighborhood of $1500 or more, including one that had "reserve not
   met" at just under $1500.

   Good luck to you.  I know that it is already WAY more than I would
   really pay!

   I have been to the place mentioned in this recipe -- nice scenery.  I
   guess if you like both main ingredients, it might be good.   I like
   one (oysters) and am luke-warm on the other.

  Each year McIlhenny Company sponsors a national Tabasco Community
  Cookbook Awards competition.  The very first winner, in 1990, was
  From a Lighthouse Window, published by the Chesapeake Bay Maritime
  Museum in St. Michael's, Maryland.  One of the standout recipes was
  this marvelous dish, teaming oysters with artichokes.
  
  In a small pan, cover the artichoke hearts with water and bring
  to a low simmer.  Meanwhile, in a medium skillet heat 4 tablespoons
  of the butter and saute the green onions, onion and garlic until
  tender, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle on the flour and saute, stirring,
  for another 3 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, bring the
  oysters and their liquor to a simmer in a medium pan, adding a little
  water, if necessary.  Poach gently for 1 or 2 minutes, or until their
  edges curl and they plump up.  Drain the oysters, reserving the
  liquor.  Add 1-1/4 cups of the liquor to the vegetables. Add the
  parsley, Worcestershire sauce,  lemon juice, Tabasco sauce and salt;
  simmer until thickened.
  
  Drain the artichokes and put the oysters and artichokes in a shallow
  casserole.  Cover them with the sauce.  The recipe can be prepared
  ahead of time up to this point.
  
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  In a skillet, melt the remaining 2
  tablespoons butter and toss with the bread crumbs until they are well
  coated.  Sprinkle the crumbs over the casserole.  Bake for 15 to 20
  minutes, or until the bread crumbs are browned and the sauce is
  bubbly.
