I second Andy's request!
I communicated with Paul Mugnier, a Blandy's US importer, who said that Chris would not make it to sunny SoCal this particular trip. Hopefully he will later this year, though likely not for a tasting like this one in Chicago.

Damn, if I wasn't going to see him a couple of days earlier in Madeira ... I'd certainly head down to SF for a Chris seminar. Always great!!!
Looking forward to see him this weekend.

I heard from friends who were at the Chicago tasting that it was splendid and they had some great bottles to try!
