"Don't worry, you're DRC is safe it just may be harder to get as less of little is imported."

Like it's so easy to get down at my local grocery store (or even at my fancy schmancy wine store) and ever SO affordable NOW.

I've never had a DRC Burgandy or even Petrus. I've had Lafite Rothchild, La Tour, Mouton Rothchild (really good), Heitz Martha's, some Silver Oak and others, but never the really, really big guns.

I've had a really great obscure Burgandy once. It was very multi layered and the flavors just seemed to keep coming. That was a really good experience. It was only about $27 back in 90/91.

Did you know DRC also makes a white wine?

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's white Grand Cru, Le Montrachet the rarest of all white Burgundies of which there are only maybe a couple hundred cases a year.

Tried them a couple times in the last millenia - fantastic of course but for the money I'd take a case of a single vineyard Chablis Grand Cru over a bottle of the DRC blanc.

I snagged the wood pine box where I was the sommelier at the time that the several thousand dollar six-pack came in and use it up north to store my boat anchor in over the winter, LOL!
