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.
I'm saying it was likely the shipping that caused the problems somehow. There are no problems with the wines here.

Here are a few wines I am drinking these days...

You can see the prices on these links. But I have no idea what they go for in the US. And there are countless others out there. Just driving around and randomly visiting a couple wineries on a nice Saturday afternoon is half the fun. Maybe more than half. Use your miles to get here!
