Aeagle.225 net.cooks utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!duke!chico!harpo!npois!houxi!ihnss!eagle!cw Thu Feb 18 17:12:34 1982 A newsgroup for wine? Is there interest in a wine rating news group, possibly a subgroup of net.cooks (what about net.cooks.wine or net.drunks)? In particular, I would be interested in tasting experiences, ratings of value (defined as merit divided by price), availability, and any other spiritous information. For example, I am currently concerned with the problem of laying in a supply of reasonably priced red dinner wine for regular drinking. My candidates are Torres Coronas 1977 Inglenook Vintage Burgundy (all years I have tried have been good) Marquis de Caceres (sp?) 76 I have not yet tasted the last of these. Their cost in case lots is all below $4 and the first two have quite reasonable merit. However, am I missing some good bet somewhere? Would you like to help and be helped?
