Back in the mid 70's I rented a house in upstate New York from a friend who was an investment banker in NYC. He had developed a taste for good wines, a necessity in his business, having to wine and dine important clients. In the basement of his country house where I lived he kept a few cases and some odd bottles of wine. Once while on a visit to check up on some renovations he brought up one of the bottles from the basement to share. It was a Chateau Beychevelle. I don't recall the vintage, but it doesn't matter. That pretty much did it for me.
