City hall to auction wine collection
A sad day for Paris, but perhaps an opportunity for someone.
As reported in the NYT (subscription required): http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/20/wo...rtner=homepage Seems to me that Chirac had it right. He acquired the wines at a good price, aged them well, now they're ready to drink (and so worth a bunch of zorros). So, enjoy! That's what official receptions are for. I like Delanoë generally (which he was running for president) but this is too much! To the barricades! -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies

City hall to auction wine collection
Seems to me they both have it right. Chirac for buying great wines early at
good prices. And the new guy for taking the opportunity to raise some money other than through taxes! Seems to me that Chirac had it right. He acquired the wines at a good price, aged them well, now they're ready to drink (and so worth a bunch of zorros). So, enjoy! That's what official receptions are for.
