Not a ton, really considering how good it is.
Probably 150 retail if you can find it.
sweet.......
i've found some really nice wines in the $100 price range recently...
wine is weird though - you can spend $100's and get a horrible bottle or much less and get a good one. to me it's kinda a crap shoot and it's best and easiest to just bring someone to dinner with you that has a clue about wine!!!!

Speaking of food... I finally got my hands (err mouth) on a kobe steak Fri night at Speechio at the Borgata in atlantic city. Very unique and tasty flavor. Definately worth the $300 (48oz porterhouse for 2)
As far as wine. There's only one wine I've ever had that I enjoyed. Had it at Picasso out in vegas. I have the name somewhere, I'll have to find it. I'm a big champagne fan but really don't like wine.

Yeah, I've had Aldo Conterno Gran Bussia '95
it was ok. I might even still have a bottle in my cellar somewhere.
Italian reds have never done it for me though.

There's a couple of places in town here that serve this stuff called "Smoking Loon"... Inexpensive and tasty... The cork is really bizarre -- there's a subliminal message on it I tried the Shiraz and the Merlot and I like the Merlot better which is unusual -- I love it when wine has kindof a dark chalky texture that strips the saliva from the insides of your mouth so you can lick around your gums and taste all that mad flavor after a big sloshy sip Mmmm....

I was under the impression that true kobe beef was not available in north america, something about not exporting to other countries anymore...is this true, anyone? cuz if it is i'll be pissed, cuz i really would love to try it without having to fly half way around the world
Originally posted by LadyMischief I like Ice Wine. HOmemade wine is the best I think
i was psyched for about 3 months after seeing a special on this stuff and figured it would be a good thing to try, really not my flavour though, ended up hating it, the best way i can describe it is that it tastes sorta like a wine syrup, not my kinda bottle
Yeah, suggested retail on that Shafer is $150 according to a friend of mine in the biz -- but you're right. Good fuckin' luck finding it -- the '99 came out a couple months ago, and was basically sold out to mailing list people and selected retail. Nice work on finding it, 12clicks!! You're one fortunate bastard!!
It's killing me that I can't remember the name of the Cab I just had for my birthday... was from a winery up on Diamond Mtn. that I hadn't actually heard of (rolled the dice, hit it big). Will pass it along when I get it -- *amazing* bottle for like $100 in a restaurant, so probably get it for $50ish at retail...

you have no idea *HOW* lucky.
There's a restaraunt near me selling wine at like 10 bucks over retail. Opus, Shafer, caymus, cakebread, cardinal, heitz, haut brion, and a ton more. wine list is about 200 wines deep.

200 wines deep and only 10 bucks over retail, this place must have a hell of a turn out.
p.s. - whats the name of the place?

oddly enough, their clientel isn't a wine one.
I'd say that *I* alone am their biggest consumer of top shelf wines.
Its like my own fucking personal cellar.
and the food is always good. not great but never disappointing

Of course he does!
Oddly enough I have a taste for the $3 bottle from Trader Joe's. It's GOOD! It really is! LOL..
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

It was LOVELY! Really lovely! That's what odd about liking a $3 bottle... I'm a bit of a snob! LOL..
