Sorry, I'm trying to figure out the picture shit. The prices in China beg the question, does anything have any base cost? The PBR was free and it cost 23 cents in Chengdu and $1 in Shanghai because folks had more to spend. It became pretty obvious that the can of beer cost nothing to produce. The same might be applied to wine.

Cool, pick us up a bunch of 1st growths for $5/bottle and we'll be rich.

I would like to publicly apologize to Peter Creasey for what was basically a Kayne move on my part. It was rude and I regret it.

Levi, Thank you for your touch of class. No offense was taken.

If I didn't know better, Thor, I'd say you bear a striking resemblance to Sean Penn when he was younger.

Alas, I have never had that much hair. Ever.

Maybe not but 112 proof spirits ran $1.5 a liter (retail), do you think it costs anymore to produce "Grey Goose" or "Absolute"? Time to smarten up the chumps.

It is "hear, hear." As in, "hear him, hear him." As in, this guy has something to say.

Thank you, I've wondered about that on and off for years but never when I was someplace where I could look it up.

I've had some gorgeous '85 Burgundies (the Jadot Bonnes Mares comes immediately to mind) as well as some that were light and without much intensity or complexity.

Never had a Turley I really enjoyed and Chris gave up years ago in trying to convert me.

Glad to hear about the '68 BV, I have a bottle slated for New Years.

Jay, I was glad to have this opportunity to use up my one and only bottle of Turley Zin. It did fine on this occasion with the chocolate/chestnut dessert as an offset.

The BV PR '68 was truly singing. Everyone (except me) expressed surprise as to how well it showed. (I was not surprised because I've been tracking it, and still have a few more bottles which I'll not be in any big hurry to serve.) I hope your New Years sampling is as successful...please report back!!

I served the BV PR '68 and the Lafite '70 single blind. Interestingly most everyone present except the person who is the most expert seemed to identify which was which.

I did the same thing with the two white wines. The Rudd (sometimes pegged as being a new-world Meursault) and the Jadot Meursault didn't seem to fool anyone as to which was which.

Oddly, since I'm pretty hopeless at identifying wines blind my only successes have been '70s Californians. Something about the ripe yet mature and balanced fruit that most of them display.
