Apparently, the only good things to come out of last summer's European heat wave are some seriously brilliant Bordeauxs.
If collecting wine is your idea of a good time, you should know that
the futures for the 2003 Bordeauxs haven't gone through the roof yet,
despite the fact they've gotten great reviews. While I still don't
understand how wine futures work, it appears the market is a bit
glutted at present and there are some great buys to be had. Or so the
article says. Go forth and buy a case of Margaux and respond to my
kindness by sending me a bottle, eh? I'll have a red wine hangover
after only a glass (the tannins in red wine don't agree with me) but
I'll offer up my suffering for all the poor souls in purgatory. And
then, maybe, they'll do something nice for you in return. Like let put
in a good word for your heathen ass with the Big Guy. It could happen.
