The Kobayashi Maru - Oh all right, we'll rewrite the rules and increase $10 to $15

Eric Texier Cotes du Rhone. Mostly Grenache, the most northern grown in France. Under $15. Drink Pepiere Muscadet to start, followed by Texier CdR.

That combo wins the $25 Exacta. Top that!

And, Jay, I believe the correct aphorism is, “Az di bobe volt gehat beytsim volt zi geven mayn zeyde.”

Footnotes

  1. Calling David Z. Calling David Z. Incoming.

  2. I wanted to give them a chance. As to my spelling, I was transliterating from right to left.

I like Morgan Twain Peterson’s Shebang NV Blend at $14.

Kaiken Malbec is another sub $15 bottle I have had recently that was decent.
