Shafer Hillside Select tastes as good (Screagle is pretty damned good wine IME) for $225.

At this level, I suspect it is rarely about taste, but much more about status.

Hey, that 2006 is a BPR bargain (Benjamins-to-points ratio).

In my world, no wine is worth anywhere near those prices.

I wonder what percentage of the people who buy those wines store them in cellars and never drink them.

I wonder what percentage of the buyers serve them mixed with Coke.
