The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Looking on the interwebs, that bottle is $70 here in the US. What’s the price in Monaco ?

Sounds right. I think I paid 61 euros straight from the winemaker.

But bear in mind there are multiple houses that sell wine from Beaune Les Marconnets. It's only a few hectares (22 acres), but French inheritance law generally means that fields be split up, so lots of folks own some land, then the little pieces get bought and sold.

The particular winemaker I like is Remoissenet, so it was theirs I was drinking. They own vines in quite a number of good locations, and (unsually for this region) vinify and sell the wine themselves. Their "house style" matches my tastes, and several of their wines in the $40-90 euro range are amazing. Their Vosne-Romanee (a very fancy name if you know your fancy wines) is 86 euros, and it three times as tasty (in a good year) as ones costing three times as much. I don't buy their super pricey stuff (e.g., Montrachet Grand Cru at 1000/bottle). But I don't turn down samples when I see them at a wine fair.

Sorry, I guess this digression counts as way off topic, but another thread today mentions 8 digit portfolios, so maybe not : )
