Re: What Makes A Wine Crazy-Expensive?
when i worked in the cigar industry seemed like wine and cheese went hand in hand with the cigars so a few of us that were up in management had to take classes on both.it's amazing how some of these testers can take one sip blindfolded and tell you the year,make,region,country it was vinted in.not always 100% correct but off by a year or two.to me,most tasted the same.big scams i found out of people going to expensive retaurants,paying off the waiters and buying the empty expensive wine bottles,espcially if they were really old.the older the better,rewash,age the new corks in chlorine and oaxylic acid to age them then fill it with some cheaper wine for an extremely high profit margin.
most people that aren't versed in wine tasting will never tell the difference...let's get one going about cigars!thinking of getting another humidor.it's been years since i had them but i love an aged cigar,cuban of course,a small glass of port wine and some baked brie after a nice heavy dinner.nothing like it in the world...
