Jay,
Chasse-Spleen can be an excellent wine - despite the spleen bit - and 
punches way above its weight considering it's only a cru bourgeois. Even 
though its price has risen as more people have discovered it, and it's not 
the great bargain it used to be, it's still worth buying.

I used to go to Bordeaux every year, but this year I can't. As you may have 
guessed I'm fond of wine...

Sadly, the new house is too insulated compared to the old one - from the 
wine storage viewpoint only! - and it looks like I'll have to get a fridge 
thingy to store what I have. I recently noticed the level in my '61 Ch. 
Coutet has dropped alarmingly, so I'll have to drink that up v soon.
