For anyone joining in this VT in the UK, I thought I had spotted the Taylor LBV 2000 in Tesco but it was actually Sainsbury.

I just noticed some stats on this thread that I thought were worthy of mention.

At the time I made this posting there were 14 votes cast and comments posted from 8 members. However, the thread has been viewed 555 times :shock:

Come on guys - this particular thread is a fantastic opportunity to join in rather than sit back and watch - go get your Taylor 2000 LBV's and get ready to post a tasting note after 1st May - even if it just says "Yuk, this stuff tastes like paint stripper" or "Mmmm, I'm going back for more"

Just a note to confirm for UK people this is available in Tesco's which is where I obtained my bottle. The new wine glasses have arrived (spieglau Expert) so I'm ready for the off- do we have an official start time?

Cheers Paul.

I just walked down to "The Market" here in Seattle and picked mine up, as well as a 1999 Dow's Crusted Port.
Thanks, John C
