In Reply to: Re: The rule of diminishing returns in relation to wine... posted by sqmeyer on June 26, 2001 at 21:21:18:
sqmeyer, I didn't know you were a sommelier, very cool. So it upsets you when someone brings in an old bordeaux? I have befriended most of the sommeliers here in SF as I can be a bit overpassionate about my love for vino with them and ask them tons of quesitons. We always share the bottles we bring with both the sommelier and the waiter/staff/chef. However, I have to say everyone of them has encouraged me to bring my wine. I have even attended a few tastings with some of them held here in the city and various other US tastings. Have you begun taking some of the exams to become a Master Sommelier? If so, good luck. I plan to begin them cassually in another year or so. Still to pick your brain again regarding corkage, we'll take an example of a well known restaurant here in town- sure I'd love to sample the 1900 margaux, but at $7500- that's pure insanity when one could grab a bottle at auction for near $3k. I suppose a debate that will not end anytime soon- also, most anytime we bring an old bordeaux, that is to set aside to breathe while we enjoy a bottle of champagne or nice white as they typically don't have the markup that the reds do. my .02
