Interesting opinion on what was “expensive” for a bottle of wine at the time.
BTW: $100 had the spending power of ~$225 today.
fun article to read. Thanks.
Irving Smith Kogan is quoted in the article. “Smitty” Kogan. He was basically head of the trade association for Champagne in the 1980’s; kind of a roving goodwill ambassador. I met him at a tasting in Phoenix in the early 80s.
