More evidence . . .

On the cover of the Book that IK just recommended (Baccchus...) one of the funniest things was about Burgundy. Something along the lines of "If it tastes like old water from a vase of flowers and you paid a lot for it, it's probably Burgundy." (Book is still in car so that's as close as I can remember.)
When it's good it changes how you see wine, when it's bad you wonder what the &*@# your doing.
Hard to know before you open it!
But still, worth the chance!
