Might be worth stopping in to see if they have any decent (intentional) madeira on sale. I still have some fond memories. Bought my very first bottle of Vouvray there (a '95 Champalou if memory serves).

I had dinner last night with a guy who worked at Crossroads for a while back in the day. He said that one item among the duties of the person who opened the store was to go around with an alcohol-wet rag to wipe the necks of the seeping bottles on display.
We also reminisced about the cooler full of expensive champagne that they turned off every night, so the champagne would see daily 40*+ temperature swings.
Apparently in the old days, they used to store the Yquem by the water heater, since the cases were oddly shaped or sized or something, that's where they fit best.

Agreed, and, yet, I've had very few provenance failures at auction. (Failures of judgment, hoo boy, don't get me started.)originally posted by John McIlwain:

I guess we can just be glad that Willie never sold potato soup.
