This wine always seems to perform.

3

Just curious, what are sporting clays?

4

Skeet shooting?

5

Sporting Clays, like skeet, only they come at you from various angles and you have multiple stations.

6

Can they shoot at you too? It seems more sporting.

7

They are clay targets only.

Just had a bottle of the 1997 Jadot Bonnes Mares a couple of nights ago off a restaurant list. Excellent mature Burgundy.
