i really liked that article a LOT

most notably because it mentions sebastiani....one of my favorite 'cheap' wines...

A Toss-Up

My friend Neil, a wine fancier although not on the order of Irwin, once gave me a blind taste test to disprove my philistine assertion that my bottle of Sebastiani -- which makes make some pretty good stuff -- likely was every bit as good as his loftily priced Grand Cru. I drank some of both and frankly thought it was a toss-up.


it really is amazing how the *perception* of expensiveness affects one's ability to distinguish flavor and taste...

i recently posted a link to penn and teller's very amusing analysis of 'fancy bottled' water (from a hose) on consumers when presented by a water "sommelier" in a fancy restaurant...

and i loved aussie mollydooker (screwtop under $20) well before it got a 90plus rating by robert parker
