As for expensive wines being mishandled, I certainly don't think you can blame the entire Burgundy region if your wine is mishandled. Maybe come here and purchase it yourself and arrange your own shipping? That's much more fun anyways. And you can taste it yourself before you buy to be more certain of the quality. You can even watch the corks being put in the bottle if you like at most places here.
could you please mark a few whites that are available for €20 or less. i assure you that $25 does not buy much in the usa. can you tell me what i can get for less than 30 bucks here in usa?
i'm not saying that the corks went into the bottles incorrectly, i am saying that by four years after they made the wine, put in the cork, put on the label, and shipped it here to the usa, it was garbage, and it is pretty much all the 95-99 vintage of cru classe burgundy.
