Jond & Cpdunn99,
I'm fortunate, in more ways than one, to be married to a woman whose father (and grandfather) is a wine collector. My father-in-law's cellar, which was augmented by the grandfather's upon the latter's passing, includes a few bottles of Chateau d'Yquem (which is the Chatour Latour of Sauternes) from the late forties and fifties. Hoping I may be lucky enough to sample one day!!!
The traditional (French) accompaniment to Sauternes is the blue cheese called Roquefort (although I personally prefer Stilton) or foie gras (the liver of a goose that has been force-fed until it becomes bloated). The Sauternes/foie gras combo is one of the great mergers in gastronomy.
