You enter the dusty wine cave and are chilled by the damp, cool air. You scan a room that is filled with thousands and thousands of bottles of wine stacked from floor to ceiling.

You notice a small dragon perched upon one of the wine racks. His glaze follows your every movement and you think to yourself "well, I guess I won't be taking a souvenir bottle from here."

You walk over to one corner for a better look at a large desk covered with note books, inventory sheets and travel logs from Gargoyle's many treks to the far reaches of this world and others.

You pick up a worn inventory sheet and see that the cellar contains vintage Stag's Leap Cask23, Chateau Prieure-Lichine Margaux-en-Medoc, Niebaum-Coppola Rubicon, Chateau Figeac St.-Emilion, and the list goes on. :)

An open note book reveals that Gargoyle's favorite French wines are Chateau Margaux (a Margaux, doh!), Chateau LaTour (a Pauillac) and Chateau Dassualt (a St.-Emilion). It seems as if he is waiting for the opportunity to get these precious wines for his collection and that his extensive travels through France's Bordeaux region have formed his love of these full-bodied and tannic wonders.

You open a travel log titled "Napa Valley - Oct 97" and learn that Gargoyle's favorite restaurants in this beautiful region are Auberge du Soleil (Rutherford), the French Laundry (Yountville) and Tra Vigne (St. Helena).

You drop the weathered log back on the desk and continue your exploration of the cave ...
