Nice line-up - will be very interested in TNs on those CDPs. :)

Will do!

It's one of those "I own most of these wines but haven't tasted them in years" scenario. TIA. :)

We'll bring a 98 Vieux Telegraphe.

I think the 05 is young but can bring one if folks are interested. Otherwise, we're in for a champagne or Sauternes (don't have any other Rhones in the cellar)...:-(
