Re: The future for Bordeaux?

Posted by abecedarians on November 3, 2005 at 00:05:06:
I feel your grief. I can no longer afford to buy a top growth bordeaux...prices are so ridiculous!! Like yourself, my wine pics tend to be the 5th growths or the lesser known wine houses with the non-classifications, there are plenty for the picking. It's true that some producers are "forced" to change their wine making ways and methods just to survive in this "cut-throat" business (like any other competitive global product). Give them what they want...most of us just don't have the time or patience to wait around anymore...it's very sad.
Although I don't disagree with this new style of winemaking since they are still pretty good right off the shelf, I would rather let them age gracefully, naturally without alterations or additives prior to bottling.
But hey, what do I know...I'm a scotch man!!
