And to you and yours!

On the 90 Rhones, I'd agree with Emery about the south vs. the north.
I have some lovely 91 Colombo Cornas and a case of Hermitage La
Chapelle to remind me! I was really ticked off when the 1990 La
Chapelle failed to come into this market, because it is an exception -
it is wonderful and better by far than the 1991.

I have only one suggestion for you as to disposition of the 1990 La
Chapelle - come on by and bring a bottle and I promise to open a
couple of other Hermitages - maybe a 79 Chapelle, an 85 Chave,.....;-)
