I think I paid $60 or so for it. I'm obsessed with Collio/Brda whites, and this caught my eye as I was contemplating some Movia. Must try that recipe as well, looks fantastic. Have you had any Radikon?crabbypattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742883263166149444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-236577631156520312011-04-21T02:50:24.408-04:002011-04-21T02:50:24.408-04:0004 Jelipins, from my two bottle experience, can be...04 Jelipins, from my two bottle experience, can be a bit mean. Had it with the family at their place last month and it did open up after some time. Even so, 05 is more friendly, open knit, and I think just better made wine.<br /><br />Sounds like we do get the same experience out of Tio Diego. I'm trying to get some for the store but on a spreadsheet from the importer didn't even see it available as a special order from the winery (?)<br /><br />'bableram'Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920171629129831900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-6466049574149633692011-04-12T13:40:33.844-04:002011-04-12T13:40:33.844-04:00The Gauby is priced around 13 euro in France, so w...The Gauby is priced around 13 euro in France, so with the exchange rate and mark-up, etc., I suppose is not out of line.michelecollinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-84640707979102717632011-04-12T10:49:43.984-04:002011-04-12T10:49:43.984-04:00Weygandt is one of those importers where everythin...Weygandt is one of those importers where everything is 20-30% more expensive than it should be.

There is huge investment from all over the world happening there right now(and for the past few years). Glad you are trying some different wines these days though I personally don't like the term 'geeky'. New York must be full of such wines.
