Hefty annual fee, though.

A typo, Oswaldo: it's Ch. Le Kroc, started by Ray Kroc IV with funds from the McDonald's fortune. They have 3 cuves: Le Grand Kroc (the Grand Vin), the second wine La Livre Quart and their third wine La Petite Spoof. Michel Rolland consults, natch.

Ah, Mark, you correct my false impression. I'd thought it was the wine that was bottled in a rubber shoe.

all those wines and none of them taste like claret? that is depressing.

Don't worry, Jay; it was the simplicity I was shrugging off. I'll say they taste like claret, only in a very, very complicated way.

Sharon, are these just some producers at a tasting you're going to?
Or are they list of producers you consider to be non-spoofy and therefore you're seeking them out?

Could you be sure to rate the Leovilles highly please? I bought a ton of futures and I need your inflated point score system to pawn them off to my fabulously wealthy clientele.

Morgan, it's a Primeurs tasting at Lavinia in Paris. I guess they are going to be selling all of those. Not quite sure where Lavinia now stands on the slide from Marc Sibard to spoof city.*
Nicolas, yes. I have already given them 97-98+.
*ETA, for the reading pleasure of people like Chris Coad, whose pure vision of the world eschews any "Wizard of Oz" presumption on who might be behind wine world curtains in far-flung yet affluent places: buying for Lavinia used to be done by Caves Aug's genial Marc Sibard (whence the curious similarity between their catalogues of yore, price being one good wedge to tell 'em apart); now I don't know who does, but I've been noticing increasing slippage, erosion, perhaps a coming landslide.
In the future we will all be wearing propeller beanies and drinking Guigal La Mouline.
Or fezes and drinking La Turque.
Or big handlebar mustaches and La Landonne.
End fantastical non-rant.

'Twould be a shame if Lavinia's selection declines. And for your sake, I hope you stick to either La Mouline or La Turque in your dystopian future.
