Wine

[Hoople]

First of all, you must forgive my misspelling of YQuem (I always spell it phonetically for some odd reason, even when I'm conscious of it!). I have been spelling that wine wrong FOREVER! Do not let that mislead you - I have absolute respect for it.

Now, in the ibox there is a link, this one http://www.wine-searcher.com/

Type in the wine, the year, fill in all the blanks you can and you will get a list of the wines in ascending price order, I think. I don't think you have to prompt it to use price as the first criteria. Wine-searcher is a great tool. I signed up for the pro version. You'll see if it's worth the price for you. You get many more listings in the pro version. Anyway, I forget which place I wound up getting the '01 from but it was 200$. At the time, three places had it for that price, but one went up 40$ the day after I ordered mine.

I don't do this too often, spend THAT kind of money on wine, btw. Would not want to mislead anyone. Maybe half a dozen times a year I will drink something of this quality and it's usually a shared expense. I am determined to try certain wines within reason and this was one. I cannot wait for the 1986 to arrive in February. The place I ordered it from is getting a new batch right from the Chateau so the provenance is certain. I hope someday you get to try it.
