   Savigny ’06 please. Nice to see a good selection in halves. I would love to see the German list please.

   If you click the link at the bottom of the piece it will take you to the full document, so you can have a look at the Germany list.

   Here’s the link: http://www.thewinesociety.com/resources/downloads/july-1914.pdf

   Thanks.

   The note for the most expensive wine on the list, the Corton, uses the word “Ripe”. I wonder what that means exactly. Was 1898 a hot year? You don’t see that word anywhere today in Burgunday. Maybe in California… (-;p

   Neal, you start the article indicating that this is the forerunner of The Wine Society, I was under the impression that it is the same organisation that no longer uses the full description in its name of the International Exhibition Cooperative?
