Dale:

Thanks for the note.

I was considering buying a case based in the fact that: (1) it's
Lafarge and (2) Cathryn and I genuinely like aligote. This is the kind
of wine I often won't get to taste before buying. Dynamics of the
market in Tokyo are such that when you see something you want you need
to buy it then or it may be gone when you go back.

Properly forewarned, I'll try a bottle and take the risk it will all be
gone when (if) I go back.
