A $40 2004 red Burg that smelled great but tasted a bit watery.

my luck has not been exceptional with the 2004 Burgs, unfortunately. 2005 is much better, but IMO they still need more time.

This was the kind of wine that if I had paid $15 or even $20 for, I would have been happy. But $40?

What was it Gordon Gekko said? "I love it at $40; it's an insult at $50."

Something like that.

I used a Gekko quote this weekend Somebody did something that I really did not appreciate, and I thretened to "rip her fucking throat out" to the gf. Thankfully she understood and agreed (but in a much more peaceful manner and extinguished my temper as appropriate)

So given the wine portion of this thread, you now understand my reticence?

Gome and I had a $40 Burg this winter than drank like an $80, so sometimes you win the lotto.

when I have a few minutes at lunch (so around February) I will introduce you to my friends at the store and they will take care of you with Burgs and everything else. It's only a few blocks from your office.

Anne Gros Pommard 1er Les Pezerolles I believe. 2002. Her wines are on the list at Per Se, too. And we had the 2004 Silex then
