>>V and XYZ ~ I began to take exception to ya'lls<-(sophisticated) comments regarding domestic wine. I was going to point out that the '85 Inglenook 'Reunion' took top honors and was rated a 96 out of 100. Sells for around $30 when you can find it. I was going to point out that the Lafite Rothschild has bought a winery in Chile (yes, Chile) and are selling the Cabernet for around $6. I then flipped back to my post and discoverd your point of contention: Inglebrook instead of Inglenook. So, not being the General Custer type, I stand down. ~ SippinJack<< Mr. Sman, I stand before you to present my apology, for in stead of exercising what any person of character should have done, and investigate a little further about the "Inglebrook" wine, in stead of being lead by Mr. Klimpl's wit. (My fault and no one else's). In doing additional research I have found out that indeed, "Inglenook", reserve and reunion, particularly the 1985 year are excellent wines. Furthermore, I have learned that the years 1941 (!), 1956 and 1958 are still alive and well. As for the Chilean vineyards, I am sure you know that in Chile and Argentina they still have the old "vitis vinifera" European vine stock, which escaped the attack of the Philloxera pest. Unlike the European vineyards which were wiped out in the mid 1800's and only rescued with American vine stocks, (which were thought to be immune, until a few years ago, that many roots had to be pulled in the US). I agree with you that Chilean and Argentinean wines are excellent value. You have done a far better job than old yellow goldie locks, and in the process humbled me. Cheers to you, Gentleman Jack.
