Some great quotes:

The fees are not waived if you buy a bottle, but they do include a charcuterie platter.

Its fame is mostly restricted to wine-obsessive message boards, where Anderson is referred to as “the Todd.” :thinking:

Burgundy’s Domaine de la Romanee-Conti around $20,000 on release

Uh, not even close. If he wants the world’s most expensive wine title, he’s going to need to to pick a fight with Liber Pater.

“I started going riper and riper,” he said, “and it made the wines really approachable.” He ages most of his red wines in “200% new French oak” — two years in a new barrel, then two years in a second new barrel.

Yummmm!!!

I remember the berserkerfest in 2010 at Napa wine and cigar (if I remember correctly). The Todd pulled up in his jacked up purple hummer and proceeded to park it in all the handicap spots. he proudly brought in a case of ghost horse wine, opened every bottle and became the life of the party, for a short while. the wine was good, but made in such an over the top modern oak concept that it was hard to have more than a few sips. not worth the price he was charging then and im sure not now either. the people who are buying the wine are doing it for ego reason if I had to guess. I have no issue with him trying to capitalize on their desire to stroke their ego

They could stand to pump a little of that money into some website updates:
