1996 Cult CA Cab Tasting -- Are they worth the bucks?

[mrdutton]

Quoting from the article in Wine Spectator about the 1/2 million dollar bottle of Screaming Eagle:

"Going into it there was this sense of elation about the economy, as well as the quality of wines being made in Napa," said Christie's auctioneer Fritz Hatton, who conducted much of the bidding. "There's also a pride and elation about the lifestyle in Napa -- the art, the wine, the food."


I guess I'll never get to Napa. Damned if I can afford it............

Talk about conspicuous consumption, GADZOOKS, BATMAN. This is really obscene......

I've seen real Eagles flying over my head...... Now that, gentlemen, is priceless.
