barnaby33ParticipantMy question to those wiser than I… How can you maintain huge investment growth and zero inflation?
Leverage.

Leverage.
barnaby33ParticipantOne of the best things I learned about wine was from a very experienced sommelier. He said, “if you like 2 buck chuck, don’t waste your time on the expensive stuff.”
I don’t happen to like it, but I don’t poo-poo anyone who does.
SDR I too had to stop buying. I ran out of fridge and locker space. My garagiste shipment last week was 5 cases alone.
As to why some wineries build a following, I don’t think its because of the casual fan. Casual fans don’t fork over 500 dollars for Harlan, or Colgin, or Grand Cru burgundy. I think its because they make a consistantly excellent product and are very good at marketing its exclusivity and rarity.
Right now I’m focusing on buying older stuff. Dunn cabernets from teh mid 80’s, Barolos as well. I have just noticed that syrah has taken a beating in the marketplace and since there are many self proclaimed wine novices here, thats where its cheaper to start and still get good wine!

Joshbarnaby33Participantxboxboy. Hart Davis in Chicago is good. If you are talking New York, Chambers street is excellent, though they specialize in old/odd and wine geek stuff. Scheiders of Capitol Hill and Calvert Woodley in DC are both good too. I’ve bought from all of them.

barnaby33ParticipantStill haven’t bought, don’t come around as much any more. Not much new is happening.
