I realize it's a long shot, but anybody have any recent TN's (last yr or two) on any of these MonteBellos??

If you check the archives you may find a note from me on a Monte Bello blend. I think it was the '68/'70 though. Don't recall right now.

If I recall correctly, there was a MonteBello at one of the MoCool events. I believe it was the Friday night blowout at Joel's. My memory is a mid-90's vintage. Perhaps brought by BobH or Mike Hughes? That is about it though.
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

I looked over on the UK forum for you but came away pretty empty-handed. Sorry but they do dabble over there you know! The Chardonnay seems to get some attention.
