Pauillac



To celebrate with Peter - my Best Man - his 70th birthday, 11 of us were given a tour of the poshest of the posh vineyards today - starting with Mouton Rothschild and ending in St Julien at Ducru-Beaucaillou. Here we all are, tasting at Château Latour, if you please. One of us thought we ought to offer to buy some. "I'm afraid it's not for sale here," we were politely told, "but if it was, it would be €800 a bottle."
