well… if I’m ever offered that vintage I’ll be sure to try some out. Sometimes I visit people who have discriminating tastes for wine. I’m hooked currently on Stag’s Leap… 40 bucks a bottle. Good stuff for a californian merlott.
$40 for a CA wine… It has to be a winery I know is fan ****ing tastic for me to spend $40 on CA wine. Don’t get me wrong, I have friends who do, but I happen to favor the Red Grape from France… If I’m going to spend $40 on wine, it will usually be French. I just like the depth of flavors (I think it is called terra noir, or black earth).
I find it silly to boycott a country because they don’t agree with us going in and killing thousands of innocents along with the guilty. France is just being France. It’s not like we should expect them to act any differently than they have over the last 40 years. Nothing for nothing, but I respect people who take a stance against the “patriotic” American opinion. This world is made up of various opinions… if it weren’t it would be awefuly boring. I say let the French oppose us on this. It create dialogue. It’s not like they’re actions are really going to stop us anyway. 4141 has already been violated. The French opinion is meaningless in the face of that.
as for 40 dollar cali wines… I’m with you there Rev. I just happen to have found Stag’s Leap and I really enjoy it. Usually I buy their 16 dollar “Hawk’s Crest” label though. It’s not nearly as good… but it’ll do in a pinch and it has a much more reasonable price tag.
Vodka is fine, and so is beer, but none of those will ever come close to a very good wine. I’ll check the prices, rev, as I’m not sure, but I’m quite certain that it’s fairly expensive :*(
