Monbazillac
I found a bottle of 1989 Monbazillac at my local wine store yesterday. The owner came across it in his cellar recently and put it on display with no price on it. When I asked him how much it was, he said that he didn't know if it was still any good and charged me $9.99 The wine is Domaine de la Brie Basse. I can't find anything about it on the Web. There is a Chateau La Brie, located in Domaine de la Brie, but nothing about a wine of that name. It is a deep, almost orange/yellow color. For $10 it seemed worth a try. The level of the wine is a little low but it is above the shoulders, and being a very sweet wine it should have been able to take care of itself for sixteen years. We will see.
