===========================
Hi Michael!

->  -> Beth will have to cover for him.
->  HN> In that case go for it! 
-> 
-> The latest offer from Nicholas is that if I can find a
-> bottle of Ch. Desmirail '88 (retails at $40 if it can
-> be found), we'll do a tasting, and he'll open his bottle
-> of '28 (retails at $400). He is not completely cheap -
-> ok, he is very cheap - but will save up his credits until
-> he can do a big blowout thing.
-> 
Why the 88, the 05 has a pretty good review, at least when I googled it.
What's a margaux by the way? Medoc?

->  -> We had a Glentauchers yesterday that was casked for 29 years
->  HN> What would it have taken for it to BE worth the price? (and the 
->  HN> price was??)
-> 
-> The Glen was 60 quid, the Bordeaux was $38.95 plus tax.

The 29 year old was only 60 pounds?? I'd have expected it to be much 
higher! 

->  
->  -> wine in another 3 to 5 years. Friend invited herself over
->  -> and said she'd help with the wine - little did we know
->  -> that she was bringing a $40 bottle over. Tasted it against
->  -> the Delicato Shiraz, which costs about 1/10 as much - it
->  -> won, but by not as much as one would hole.
-> 
-> [that's "hope," of course]
-> 
->  HN> Well if I were coming, I'd certainly be bringing the best wine I could
->  HN> find...and afford! 
-> 
-> It was Chinese food, very simple and yummy, cost about $3
-> to make for 3 servings. For a decent Bordeaux, I'd have a
-> steak or something (and for a great one, as Ian has pointed
-> out, a chicken roasted simply with salt and pepper - I'd
-> rub it with garlic first, but he said no way).
-> 
If I were coming to a dinner and you were going to be there, and I was 
bringing wine....I'd do my best to bring a wine that you'd find interesting and

enjoyable....I'd not go looking for that blue MD 20/20!

-> Cabbage and meat
-> cat: childhood, main
-> servings: 4
-> 
Looks really good....and easy...I've made similar, but not quite with as much 
cabbage, and with bamboo shoots and sprouts as well....yummy with sesame 
oil too (you know Anne'd not go for the heat!)
chat with you soon
