In about an hour's time Mrs. Fatboy and I will be attending another of these pre-auction tastings that tend to prominently feature older Bordeaux vintages (here is the list of wines that will be poured). This one has a number of '61s, along with other vintages, and this time there will be quite a few Italian wines on show for our purveyance. Therefore in the spirit of sacrifice and of being noble, I am forced to put myself on the line once again in order to attend this event. I am sure you can understand what a trauma it is to have to taste such wines before lunch on a Sunday morning. I shall report back in due course.

Go underground with wine tastings. Check out the guy in France hosting wine seminars and started in his parent's flat: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/fashion/28hiddenparis.html?ref=style
