I dabble in the wine biz. Great 01 harvest coming up if weather cooperates.
Heres the scoop on wine:
The difference between a 6$ bottle and a 40$+ bottle of red in costs to produce is 3$ tops. Its just that the winemakers blend so skillfully that some snob reccommends a high buck bottle due to his/her taste buds.
I dont drink wine, but the snobs all seem to love whatever Silver Oak puts out. They say the best of the best.
