$US75 a bottle.

I'm betting there's a couple Martinborough vineyards that could top this stuff without raising a sweat or emptying your wallet.

I'm certain there's Hunter Valley vineyards who would annihilate it with their budget supermarket lines.

Wonder when we'll get a HD logoed Budweiser?

Yet another bloody gimmick to sell wine...as a retailer of the stuff I say let the wine speak for itself. Nearly every gimmicky-sell wine I have come across is gimmicky for a reason - they can't sell it any other way...

It's memento. They aren't purchased with consumption in mind.

Most of them would be corked 5 years before they are opened and by that stage of proceedings in the night it doesn't matter.

When it comes to wine, (and a lot of other things) price is not a good indication of quality.

That was my point really. My favourite Cab Sav Merlot is less than $15. My favourite Cru is $250 a bottle. Don't drink that very often

What about the Kim Crawford Pinot Chocolate?? Anyone tried it?? Sounds just like the drink for us girls!!:clap:
Me, I am not any vineyards lady - I drink whatever label I fancy for the night and try not to spend more than $25 (rarely) for a good quaff.:cool: Red or white, pink or creamy. Bubbles are just for special occasions - of course!!

What a load of marketing bollocks

It is supposed to be about bikes and riding

Not prancing around in some frigging clothes boutique

Or maybe I'm just old fashioned :)
