Living in Montreal, I am (naturally) a regular reader of Bill's column, and appreciate his 'real world' approach to wine.
And to think that I used to be able to purchase Tignanello for under $8CDN, not to mention Sassicaia for less than $12CDN! Of course, this was way back in those 'early days' when neither wine had yet garnered a wider audience, and long before speculative considerations and demand outstripping supply had tipped the financial equation toward incessant price escalations. (A note of interest: The original edition of Tignanello complemented the Sangiovese component with a small percentage of Canaiolo rather than Cabernet.) Thanks for posting the article, Tommy.
