Default CLARET WINE

I have a case of 70, a case of 82, and various bottles before and after.
What the hell does that say? Nothing much. You just don't walk into a
restaurant and order Lynch Bages, without looking at the rest of list
and the price.

OK, smart rectum, how many bottles of Ch Lynch Bages do you have in your
cellar, and from what years???
Up yours too.

If you walk into a restaurant and order Ch Lynch Bages by name, you are
paying at least $75 in a marginal year and as much as $500 for one
bottle. If you do this without looking at the Wine List you are
extraordinarily stupid, and can only be living on inherited wealth. John
D. Rockefeller counted pennies to his demise; that's why, though
wealthy, he wasn't a rich bitch. You are, obviously.



As I said, you are one mindless stupid SOB. What I or anyone pays for a
bottle of wine is in no way an indicator of our intelligence. What you
say, otoh, is an indicator that you generally engage mouth, with foot
firmly inserted.

Let's see. One from 79. Three from 85, two from 89 and one case of 95.

It's pretty much the same. They like to show off. Have you never seen people with
huge yachts who have to hire someone to drive them?


Some of us buy wine to drink it. We do quite nicely without any
assistance thank you.


Sorry, but you are only allowed one idiotic response per message.

True, so why did you enter it?
