Re: Anybody can buy good wine... have a lot of money.

I like Hogue's late harvest Rieslings some years ago. They had some very good vintages and for about $6, they were excellent. Lately for high quality inexpensive dry white wines, I've found the New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs from Marlborough to be very good and excellent values at around $9 or $10. Tonight I drank Pichon Baron 1988. When I bought it in 1991, it only cost $20. Today, a modern equivalent is around $100. The prices of fine wines in general and great Bordeaux in particular have been bid through the roof. Good thing I laid in a large supply BEFORE word got out. (Breaking the $20 price barrier was a very major psychological hurdle for me to get over.)
