What a great batch of links, today, Dan. I'm honored to be in this company. Thanks!
Re: Seattle Weekly: "la merde promptly hit le ventilateur" - LOL. Oh I just bet it did.
I have had delicious wines at every price point, made almost everywhere wines are made. I have had a few I would call "extraordinary" (and those happened to be highly-rated and expensive, and thus rare occurrences since my usual wine budget runs to Gnarly Head.)
I prefer to think of wine as a quotidien pleasure. It's to be quaffed with giddy abandon *at least* as often as it is sipped and analyzed. So really, the $10 bottle is always my favorite.
Me too Chacha. With wine, what did it for me was doing some blind tastings with friends where almost nobody could tell much of a difference across price points.
One time a group of four of our friends did a blind tasting of Chiantis. We tasted a $40 Chianti against a $12 Chianti. This time, we actually COULD tell which one was more expensive, but everybody still preferred the lower priced one!
It was that day that I stopped letting high prices signal quality with wine.

PS: That sleep post you wrote was excellent. Thanks for putting it out there.
Nice collection this week. I especially love the one about sleep, and I'm bookmarking the vow of silence for a later review.
Glad to hear it Matt, thanks for the feedback.
