Updates from Russ, Betsy, Fred and Bill. Many thanks. ----- Forwarded message from "Jim L. Ellingson" <jellings(a)me.umn.edu> ----- Greetings, A big thanks to those of us who made their intentions known. This week, we're doing Bordeaux wines at JP's Bistro on Thursday. The Vintage Chart at the Wine Enthusiast web site says that Brdx wines from 1997 and older are mostly at or near peak, are ready to drink. They show a "HOLD" for red wines of 2000 and newer. Of course lighter, smaller wines may well be ready sooner. Bob Ruth Bill Jim Nicolai Karen JP's American Bistro 2937 S.
