Can you imagine?

If you were a winemaker and every barrel in your cellar came with an inarticulate, entitled, rich n00b to call you every week? What a business.
 
A couple of good quotes in that article:

The shipping was perfect, but it did cost a lot of money, Mr. Lecomte said. We need to work on the financial aspect.

Not a bad idea.

Im looking for something that is very well structured, with good tannins, a great nose and that woosh in the mouth.

No comment.

Still, I wish them much success.

Yikes!

Wooooosh go the tannins!
 
The opening night party, which I didn't get a chance to attend, had Olga Raffault Chinon '90 and Lopez red '87 on offer for like $9/glass or something. So I think somebody over there knows something about what tastes good.
 
"They need only part with anywhere from around $7,000 to almost $12,000 a barrel about 21 cases or 232 bottles with the price varying by selection of grapes, barrels, winemaking regime, bottles and labels."

$7,000 divided by 232 = $30.17 per bottle.

Seems a little steep for the bottom of the line product, even if the tannins do go woosh.

Yeah, but you can never underestimate the propensity of a subset of the population willing to pay extra for a little "whoosh."

I used to know a guy in Tompkins Square Park who could give you a "whoosh" for a lot less money.
