Context

Dear Mr. Dobrow: Can't remember when I enjoyed two days more. Thanks to you, to Heubleins, and to Christys. Where else could a Midwesterner have a chance to compare, to see, to smell, and to taste great wines side by side. Only once before have I been privileged to share in a wine tasting when the French Ambassador held a tasting of white wine at the Fairmount Hotel in San Francisco in Oct. 1963, and Heubleins tasting far surpassed that. As I am not in the art business, I was very pleased to be a successful bidder, obtaining Lot Number 133 for $22.00 per case, a very reasonable price, I feel, and if you will be so kind as to ship the ten cases to me through Mr. Des. Williamson, Ambrose & Co., 900 Woodswether Rd. Kansas City, Mo. 64105, I would be very appreciative. Mr. Williamson has agreed t deliver them to me through a St. Joseph Outlet. Thank you again for your kindness. Sincerely,
