IfI recall aright didn't Dressner once refer to us all as "hipsters with trust funds?" I've been aspiring to the position ever since.

Actually, true hipsters have trust funds. That's how they roll in Williamsburg.
 
"I tasted the wines alone and with food (including cheese, of course) and tasted them all with friends, none of whom had ever had encountered wines from the region. This last fact was particularly striking, as some of my friends are serious collectors who buy and drink wines from all over the world Pauillac."
 
Excuse my agricultural language, but that is fucking stupid.

2009 Dupasquier Pinot Noir is what I want from high altitude, chalky terroir.

I will give here credit for one of the best wine articles ever written where she poured a fake 82 Ch“teau Mouton Rothschild that she personally crafted with a Washington winemaker for some of her collector friends.

” The Collector disagreed. “I think the Mouton is a step up from anything we’ve tasted, especially in the nose.”

"But The CFO, the man who’d had ’82 Mouton more times than anyone else present, declared definitively, “I think it’s right up there with the Moutons I’ve had before.” No one said a word about it possibly being a fake."

As a friend remarked to me at the time:

I don't have the time to read the thread, but how funny that people
(including LT) don't seem to distinguish between fooling people somewhat
cruelly at dinner and holding them up for ridicule in front of a few
million readers. I sure wouldn't be accepting her invitations to dinner
if I'd been "The Collector." Of course, I'd self-mutilate before being
known as "The Collector."

I can live with that.

But do let me know if you spot any who make social economy their trade.
 
The fix is in at the WSJ.

Alice Feiring protege Lettie Teague now has the full run of the WSJ's wine coverage as Jay McInerney takes a job from his wife at Town and Country.

The radio stations in the capital are playing martial music 24 hours a day as the new junta solidifies control.
 
Seems to me that the woman at the dinner - Roberta Morrell - spotted the fake.
” Roberta shook her head: “I know Mouton. I like Mouton. But I don’t like this wine.”

Think the Collector is Scott M?

Your fixation with little Lettie is in itself rather interesting.
