Telephone Wine Brokers-Revisited!

[Kcwhippet]

Welcome to the Wine Board, MiamiArt (I think). I wonder how you just "happened" onto a June post about Jacob Gerhardt wine brokers. Regardless, I don't believe you've read enough of the posts by the people who've made the majority of those "negative comments" to make the judgement that they're uninformed. Some of the posters have been drinking, and collecting, fine wines for about twice as long as you, and I know they've dealt with brokers over those many years. Some of the posters are in the business, some for many, many years. Personally, I've dealt with brokers starting back in 1969, but these are real brokers who are offering wines at good QPR's from known wineries. I think it's really you who is uninformed. Possibly one or two of the posters might have been misinformed, but uninformed - I don't think so. And the crux of the misinformation is most probably Jacob Gerhardt's cult like web site where any new reader has to take all that's said on pure faith without any knowledge of the wines offered or their prices (among other info gaps). Also, I don't believe anyone here has ever enjoyed immensely (sic) every wine they've ever bought. That's an absurd statement to make, particularly from someone who's "been drinking fine wines for over twenty years."
