While the wines are fabulous they are also the most uniformly overpriced of any in the world. Nowhere, and I mean NO where, do entry level wines start at $20+, except in champagne. I can get very nice burgundy for $15, if I search around, but not champagne. I would love to see serviceable entry cuvees at about 15 and midlevels around 30, but that seems a pipe dream. Who knows though, a boy can dream…

How Do i know how long the bottle has been sitting [tho i would look for the older date as I like a little age on the disgorgement]

Mention was made of the good doctor’s outstanding work in asking the really tough questions of the Wine Advocate organization regarding wthics, the Sierra Carche fiasco, blind tastings, etc.

Well deserved, this award.

All the best for the new year, Tyler.

Manuel
