Hi PolishAM,
Wlasnie z USA dostaje regularnie emalie rekomendujace rozne rzeczy, miedzy
innymi wina po przystepnych cenach. Rekomendacje te sa dosc wiarygodne, ale
jesli chodzi o wina amerykanskie, to mam ograniczone mozliwosci ich
sprawdzenia, jako ze do Australii malo sie ich sprowadza z USA. Poniewaz ty
wlasnie rozgladasz sie za dobrym winem po "ekonomicznej" cenie aby uczcic
kwasniewskie dziecie piosenkarki Gorniak, przekazuje pare potencjalnie
dobrych rad do zrealizowania na waszym rynku.

3 GREAT WINES YOU CAN
BUY FOR LESS THAN $20
As part of my ongoing effort to help you live as
well as (or better than) Bill Gates, here are three
truly great wines you can buy for less than $20.
Barossa Shiraz 1997 ($11.99). Australia is
known for its Shiraz, Barossa is Australia's best
Shiraz district, and Peter Lehman is considered
one of the most reliable producers in Barossa.
This full, round, velvety red is great with meat
dishes or cheddar cheese. It will continue to
improve in the bottle and can be cellared with
confidence for 5 plus years. (Tego shiraza akurat sobie nie przypominam)
Stella Merlot 1998 Umbria ($5.99). When it
comes to Merlot, you won't get a better value
than this. Here is a wine you can really stock up
on and enjoy every night. Riccardo Cotarella is
considered a "Merlot master" by those who
know. Here he has produced a light, fruity red -
great for parities.
Chateau Charmail Haut Medoc 1997 ($16.99).
Recommended for the third year in a row by
California's Wine Club Newsletter, this is a
"terrific" Cru Bourgeois, proudly produced by
Olivier Seze who has dedicated himself to
producing fine wines from his 56-acre property
in northern Medoc. According to the experts,
Chateau Charmail is one of the finest values you
can find in the Medoc. A blend of 50% Merlot,
30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc
and 2% Petit Verdot, this wine is very dark in
color, has a rich bouquet and a full-bodied taste.
Will age well for 3 to 5 years.
Overlooked Wine Values
Because most wine buyers never take the time to learn much about wine, the
industry is susceptible to hype, promotion, and fad buying frenzies. Thus the
enormous popularity of California Chardonnays. Yes (at least according to
what I could infer from a PBS talk show on wine), Chardonnays are highly
overrated. And because most Americans can discriminate only by price,
absurdly overpriced. So next time you want to drink white wine, instead of a
Chardonnay order a California Sauvignon Blanc, a French Muscadet, or a German
Riesling Kabinett.
Nie zaszkodzi tez dobre, a tanie cygaro:
The Skinny on Cubans
Everyone should smoke cigars. Men, women, and children. Americans, French,
Arabs, Israelis, Catholics, Protestants, Hindus, and Jews.
You should smoke at least one cigar a month. Don't tell me all the reasons
you don't want to. Just do it.
Now here's what you need to know about Cuban cigars:
Cuban cigars are amazingly expensive. Typically, they range from $12 to $25
apiece. Magazines like Cigar Aficionado have perpetuated the myth that Cuban
cigars are the best in the world. A lot of foolish people believe them.
The truth is that Cuban cigars are highly overrated. I've bought plenty of
them
