>> I'm not a wine expert, but I will say that the Chateau Lafite Rothschild '82 is by far the best wine I've ever tasted. I used to buy it for very special occasions only, given its price tag (about $1000/bottle, if memory serves).

Many wines costing 10$ to 15$ a bottle will taste as good as your $1000/bottle buys. You have convince me there is a sucker born every minute.

French wines I could always do without! But German, I could never give up ny Reislings! I have also had some very good wines from... Missouri and even Arkansas.

I tried the Aussie wines, a lil too dry for my tastes but not undrinkable :)

I disagree, but I suppose it's a matter of opinion. And yes, there are many wonderful wines available for less than $20.00/bottle. But as I've said in several posts, I no longer spend anywhere near that much on wine, regardless of origin or vintage.

Okay. I didn't know that. Most cars can get you from point A to point B as well.
