I know, i know, sounds totally absurd. Good bottles are like works of art, they require the convergence of so many factors that its really a challenge to make a something beautiful. I have had the privilage of drinking some very fine bottles of wine and have gathered sufficent experience to extrapolate the sublties of a quality product. Price isnt always a measure of a bottle's complexity, the trick is to discover wonderful wines that dont cost more than 30 or 40 bucks, thats the skill.
