Sesame Street and the French Laundry Heist

[kirk wallace]

Scroll down to see the list of wines stolen. Is it just me, or are 2 of these things (1 really, but in 2 vintages) not like the other?

xmas day break in, from the SFGate

Those must have been taken to confuse the authorities. I mean everyone has DRC, but who has Marechale in their cellar?

 

[kirk wallace]

or they stole those bottles for themselves to drink while they fenced the others. good thing TFL had no Truchot (or so i assume).

 

[Jim Hanlon]

Or the thief meant to grab Mugnier Musigny (a worthwhile target), but took the wrong bottles.

I wondered about that. It might suggest they had a list but we're not themselves experts, no?

The Mugnier label, in my experience, needs to be read closely to differentiate the vineyard.

And, according to the interwebs, 6 vintages of Mugnier Musigny and 2 of les Amoureuses were left behind.

D'oh.

I'm with Jim on this one.

Many of the bottles have now been located and recovered. But no arrests have yet been made.

"...in a private cellar in North Carolina..."

 

[Michael Lewis]

VLM!

(For posterity's sake, I note that the above accusation is not serious.)

 

[MLipton]

Since there was no Rougeard or Texier involved in the heist, no one would take your accusation seriously anyway.

Right. And the lack of Vatan definitively confirms your theory. No Clos La Neore; no "monkey" business.

Don't all wines have a "specific value"?
