This confirms their poor taste. Thanks for doing the research.

It’s a micro example of Hannah Arendt’s banality of evil

I didn't realise that the dominant wines here in Saskatchewan both retail and on restaurant lists, much to my dismay, are the SAME. No wonder why I drink at home and only catch up on the world news via your substack ;)

This is the joy of monopolies!

I’ve also got a F91-W and have worn it while driving a Toyota pickup. A Spurrier correlation. Wait…

Is the redaction Chateau D’Yquem?

I mean if I had to guess. And it’s the right sort of cepage (not checked that vintage but it’s usually that general area). But why redact that, and only that?

Too late… here I confirm it is! I guess they were scared someone might sue??

“The 1989 Château d'Yquem is a renowned Sauternes white wine made from a blend of approximately 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, noted for its high concentration due to early botrytis (noble rot) and intense, sweet, and complex flavors.”
