It sounds like a lot of fun. I guess if you spent $585 for a bottle of wine, you'd probably be enough of a novice to let your powers of imagination make the bottle taste better than it actually does. *) I wish I could have been at this tasting…wow!

The "great" Romanee Conti? Where is the sense of any value anymore? The French are so protective of their AOC controls and the resultant wine. I know this may be an isolated example, but if I paid $600 for a bottle of mediocre wine, I would be livid, and my thoughts wonder to what purpose is being served, if a wine priced based on its pedigree shows more mongrel than blueblood. $585 for a bottle of “ho-hum”.
