And for those interested in the cassoulet, I did a bunch of mishmashing across two pots of it - one each with the two types of tarbais beans as mentioned above, a combo of chicken thighs and duck confit, a mix between the Kenji recipe and D’artagnan’s. I do prefer the duck over the chicken (though I usually buy D’artagnan’s confit).
Zut Alors, No Cahors?!
The Vina Real was a 1978 (edited to correct the vintage) and autocorrect brutalized your spelling of Drouhin Clos de Beze. The Boal must have been for the very late night crowd since I missed it, though I definitely didn’t need any more wine. I know it was a great night because I’m still hurting a bit.

No, but we had a corked 1995 Montus Prestige.
That’s a shame. A perfect cassoulet wine (when sound).
If you scroll up to May 2022 in this thread I had the 2010 Montus…it was fabulous. Sorry that older one was tainted.

Brad, your efforts in the kitchen (and with your purveyors) were above and beyond!
