Chronicles Of Consumption

DRC - Blackmail And Extortion Plot...

Dear me, it seems that some fellow has tried to blackmail one of the most famous domaines in all of world wine, and has unsurprisingly failed! Here is a link to the story from Decanter:

I don't understand how these people think that they will succeed with a scheme like this to be honest... Anyway, I'll leave you to ponder it.

DRC Batard-Montrachet - Not Available!

I just discovered that the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti owns 0.17ha of the Batard-Montrachet vineyard, and makes 2 barrels of it each year, but they choose not to release it. It is only for in-house consumption for their guests and for themselves. Somehow I need to find a way to obtain an invitation to feast and consume at the domaine. Nahthern, use your special skills...
