The Vesuvio is gone - I ordered that before posting.

Good job on the Vesuvio...and take a pass on the Cockburn's for obvious reasons.

At a lower price I'd take a flyer on those Cockburns, but at that price I can easily find an '85 Fonseca or '85 Graham which are pretty much guaranteed to be stellar.

I'd probably be willing to risk $60 on an '83 Cockburn, but that's about it.

Nice catch on the Vesuvio. Without consulting my notes, next best deal appears to be the 1992 Fonseca.
