Whoahhhhhh!!!! Hold on a second . ..Premier Cru 2005 Potel pricing . . .

I just had a heart attack . . . .or more appropriately had my eyes lunge out and smoke come out of my ears . . . . Warner Brothers cartoon style. Potel has never been priced like this. What is next? $1000 Girardin Chambertin. 2005 Burgundy pricing is truly an anomaly and this proves it.

Clos de la Roche - $375
Chambertin - $500

    Hang on a second, yourself! This isn't the original offering price, nor even the second offering. It is, I suspect, the 3rd or 4th offering, and by now, what with all the "hype", even the most dedicated Australian Shiraz drinker knows he/she should buy some 2005 Red Burgundy.

    How come you get your 1er cru emails a day ahead of me?

    Do you also get your Wine Advocate early?

    I actually get my wine advocate before everybody else. That's just the way it is.
