[Leica] Fwd: IMG: Chateau 61 Revisited

[Douglas Barry]

It's still standing, Jayanand. I was going to have it tomorrow with the 
creme brulée I made tonight, except life intruded and I didn't get to 
make the stuff. I hope to make the creme brulée tomorrow instead, with 
the emphasis on "I hope!"

I'll take a selfie with the empty bottle eventually, but I rather 
suspect it may give my face a green colour cast :-)
