Seems like you could make a little extra dough...<BR/><BR/>Maybe roast duck would be nice with a fine claret Steve?<BR/><BR/>sonadora-maybe you could be one of the group of people who would offer us a safe haven upon return, a place to anonymously return to society. <BR/><BR/>i thought i've read about you drinking good burgundy while in hong kong Edward. makes sense, given how long it's been wide open. <BR/><BR/>saltpepps - as far as i'm concerned, they can to their weird thing together forever, as long as they leave my wine alone.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-28612749054458274312008-08-13T06:16:00.000-04:002008-08-13T06:16:00.000-04:00The problem is that these hot shot buyers are not ...The problem is that these hot shot buyers are not buying the wine to drink it. They are buying the 1st growths as investments. This is really bad news. <BR/><BR/>Big chateaux, big reputation, big price, big tits, big points, big money. This has nothing to do with taste or even quality in some instances. <BR/><BR/>It will just insite the bdx producers to keep living on another planet and keeping their prices high.<BR/><BR/>The thing about Hong Kong is that they just drop what used to be really high tax on wine (the sin tax) and now it is ZERO.

Even the 2nd and 3rd wine of Lafite carry cachet. . .<BR/><BR/>Hong Kong, which is more outward and savvy regarding wine also gets through large amounts of Burgundy (white and red). It's only a matter of time before the mainland catches on!Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020445581810054798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-86342848918787831502008-08-12T21:50:00.000-04:002008-08-12T21:50:00.000-04:00Do you need ninja outfits?
