is the 75 a one ounce pour?

3

Crazy but that seems about right considering the price. Now the comments will be 1oz pour or full bottle of ____ or 1/2 glass or full bottle of ______ or 1 glass or full bottle of ______

I guess if you have the money to throw around… for what its worth I would take the Oreno over that in the picture anyway.

4

FYI a bottle was $1,250

5

Are you bringing some to Rocco’s this weekend, Brig?

6

Yes, one ounce pour divided four ways

7

That’s cool. I have had it a few times, but there are wines I would pay that much for just to cross it off my bucket list and get a taste or half glass.

8

There’s a new restaurant here in Boston (Bostonia Public House) that has it by the 2oz pour ($240), 6oz glass ($800), 14oz carafe ($1875) and full bottle ($3200).

Makes Hi Time seem downright cheap.

9

That’s actually a good price

10

Marcoux VV is better

11

Not something you see everyday! One of the top 2011 California Cabernets I have tasted from a very “challenging” vintage. Now if they only had Second Flight next to it at 1/4 the price! [cheers.gif]

For $75 you can say you “tasted” Screaming Eagle. I guess for some people that might be worth spending $75…

That is actually ok. Last a week a bar charged us $44.00 for a 1.5oz pour of Glenfiddich 21!

14

1250 for a bottle you cant even get one on wine searcher for that. How is the 2011 anyway?

15

The Sandeman rocks. And is way cheaper I’m sure LOL.

16

Why are they pouring 2 1/2 year old Vintage Porto???

It’s a scintillatingly hot and dusty day in the middle of a dry plain, a hundred degrees plus, more than five miles into the nearest tiny town.

Walking along the dirt road in the heat strides a proud cowboy in boots, denim pants, and long sleeved shirt. He’s headed toward town, no shade between him and his destination.

From up behind comes a beautiful Escalade that pulls up beside him.

The window rolls down and the man can feel a wonderful blast of cool clean as the driver asks, “We’re headed into town, would like a lift?”

The man says, “Can’t. Might like it.”

That’s how I feel about delving into Screaming Eagle!

18

As it’s the most current declared (from a ‘classic declaration’) VP, I would assume so one can try it and see how good it is before buying.

19

[rofl.gif] that’s awesome…

I agree. It’s like the tiny pours of Madeira you can get at that famous restaurant that we are not allowed to mention. I had a half ounce of pre-Civil War Sercial Madeira just to try it. I didn’t even like it, but it was worth the experience.
