Florida, everyone else sells this for $80 and up.

I don't know anyone who would pay $15.00 for this wine, let alone $49.00.

I've sampled it and found it totally undrinkable.

$49.00 for an undrinkable wine seems mighty expensive for me. So would $10.00

Because of blessed bottle variation, Joe, you can only say that the bottle you sampled was undrinkable. To truly know that the wine is undrinkable, you would have to open and sample all bottles produced.

I sampled a dozen bottles from 12 different stores. I'm very thorough about my sampling.

They were all made in a way to ensure there was no bottle variation.

They were all exactly the same.

They were all dead.

Anyhow, sampling is only an approximative method of understanding a live wine.

Dead wines are quickly understood.
 
2004 Kuleto for $38 a bottle. Had one last night and it performs at a $100 level. Thanks to Pobega for introducing it to me.

It's a gift from the Jgerbombs that I had for breakfast... it's very similar to the Water of Life.

Pobega, come back! Think of these pricks as me, and then perhaps you can put up with them!

This is a very salient point. I can't speak for the rest of the pricks here, but I've always thought of myself, in addition to not being Mark Lipton, as being Todd F r e n c h.

So really, not so bad, eh?

He's halfway to Napa by now.

It's like the little stray cat that comes to the door and drops a small dead thing as a "Hello, will you take me in?" Sure, the small dead thing isn't appealing to us, but it's a lovely gift in the mind of the cat. Sadly, the garden hose is turned on within moments.

If he had mentioned the deal on the von Kesselstatt or (though it is twice the Shafer) the 93 de Montille Volnay 1er Cru, he might have stood a chance.

Unlikely, though.

If only this were true in real life, I wouldn't be outnumbered three-to-one in my own goddamn apartment. Stupid kittehs.

I am looking forward to reading those tasting notes. Soon. Before anyone has a chance to visit your cellar.

He squeezed a spot for himself quickly, hmmm?

I assume he's a mole from the 'Buro so I'm treading lightly.
