Re: Why doesn’t Bevan sell out?
Bevan wines are REALLY good, obtain very high scores, age well, and are top tier. The wines are similarly priced to other top tier SVDs and his blend is well below. Why don’t they sell out like other similar producers? This is not meant to be offensive to Russell as I and many others would have a B...

Re: Have wine auction lots become much more scarce....?
Not even watching HDH today ... dont want to get mad. I don't get mad; I just shrug and move on with life. 1996 Krug just went for $720. There's a wine I'm not going to get to drink. Whatever. My income is not keeping up with asset inflation. The best hedge for asset inflation is to own assets.

2000 Bordeaux are now 21 years old, finally reaching drinking age
I have begun to drink my lesser ones, like Chateau Jean Gue, especially to keep my hands off my early-1990's California reds.
Still young but finally settled into a nice broad maturity plateau.

First wine I bought to put away was 1994 Taylor Fladgate.

Long gone. The '94 vintage in Napa had gotten rave reviews, and I was indiscriminately grabbing whatever Cabs I saw in SF shops that were 94s and from Napa or Sonoma.
