Chateauneuf-de-Pape for sale

But winecollector, that's just the point--ever since WS bestowed its' 97 point rating, this wine got scarce quick--and the #4 rating only dried things up further. So if you were in the know, and ahead of the curve, you could have gotten this wine on the cheap. However, that's no longer the case.

There are many analogies to be made between wines and my industry (stocks). This wine here is like a hot IPO--the venture capitalists (Bucko, WW, et al.) kind of snicker at the prices paid, since they got in on earlier rounds of "financing"--now many others are willing to pay up to get a piece of the action.

Personally, I think the price is reasonable, as I've not been able to find it since here in NYC. 1998 was a vintage to remember in CDP, and the wines are built for the long haul. Now only if I hadn't already obliterated my wine budget over the holidays!! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
