Hi,1. How did you pick your moniker?
You could spend over $100,000 US, on a very impressive, very old, wine at auction. If the purpose was to "taste" it with your friends, I guarantee that they would not be impressed. If you and your friends read the NY Times, the morning after you bought the stuff, however, you would all be very impressed, that your purchase had been recorded there.
$25 - $50 buys one bottle of "THE BEST" Red, if they sold it by the bottle, (instead of the dozen), still in fermentation, in bond, not bottled yet, probably not even in cask yet, won't be available for you to recieve it or, to pay for it to remain in "bonded warehouse" for at least another 4 years. How impressive would that be?
By which time you and your friends would "know something" and in another 10 years time, the wine would start to be drinkable! Now that would impress them! That equals impressed friends for, at least, 15 years!
Seriously though..2. "I know nothing" - You say ???
3. What reds have you tasted, that you have either really liked, or disliked?
4. To each of the above named wines, Why?
5. If tasting, What will the circumstances of this "tasting" be? ie with or without, meal, party etc?
6. What food will you have with it?regards Mike.S.
