I just bought a couple of 1999 375's for $110 USD. A quick comparison
showed $199 Aus=$156 USD so it's a bit cheaper here in Ohio which is a
surprise since we have fairly high State mandated prices here in Ohio.


Which is a big part of the reason I don't know much about European wines. I
see Dale's posts about what he pays for some of his wines and when I can
find them here in Oz they are always MUCH more expensive. He has talked
happily about wines he has paid $23US for and the same thing here costs
$70Oz. Size of the market, tyranny of distance, the reasons are obvious, but
still irritating!
