Epic
I don't know what to say. Mark Beavan's 50th birthday party at Il Grano restaurant. I got the last seat.
A few of these were not good bottles, or were simply over the hill, but the line up is as stellar as any I've been party to.
We actually passed on the last five, but washed it all down with a magnum of 1985 Cristal.
