[Leica] Fwd: IMG: Chateau 61 Revisited

[Peter Dzwig]

I know what you mean about the difficulties of nursing it. I have an
Yguem that was given us as a present in 2002 and has followed us from
house to house. I keep looking at it and wondering... At present it's
sitting at a happy and constant 5C and I am hoping that all is well with
it! I was thinking that it might be time for it to be drunk this next
Christmas or New Year. :-)
