Look Carl, I was raised by poor Italian immigrants who held to the motto, "a
good wine is 12%; A great wine is 13". Go with the Stag's Leap unless the BV
says a guy named Chuck (well Charles Latour) is the winemaster, circa 1968
thru about '71, (or maybe '74, I think I remember that right). If it does,
charge two bottles to Nissan, drink one, and bring the other back here and
I'll trade you my car. Deal?
Tony
Hey, they got "Wanda Whips Wall Street" on the pay-per-view there? Most of
my investments decisions since the late 60's were made based on that movie.
