A lost case

A few months back, I packed up a case of wine as a gift but in storing it at work in an obscure location in the basement, somebody stole it. I think I lost 11 bottles. The dollar values was not too bad, since you know my price range. It was probably $160-$180. More galling was the wines I lost. Based on recollection they were:
  1. Souverain 2007 Chardonnay (WS 90, $10 CC) - I have two cases, so not a big deal.
  2. Yalumba 2007 Viognier (WS 91, $12 CC) - A WS Top 100 wine of the year, but I have 4-5 more bottles.
  3. MacMurray Ranch 2007 (?) Pinot Noir (WS 89, $14 CC) - there's pretty good production so I can get more. I also have 2-4 more.
  4. Janasse 2006 (?) some Merlot based Cote du Rhone - only bottle I had.
  5. Devil's Lair 2006 Chardonnay (WS 92, $26) - this may have been the "best" bottle that was stolen. I have 4 more but this one pisses me off.
  6. Fitou 2006 - ($8 WC) one of my favorite everyday French wines with a lovely purity and minerality.
  7. ... well that's all I remember for now ...
