    Finally caught your radio program.
    Good stuff!:smile::smile:
    Your thinking on the cost of wine production and whether a $50.00 wine will or can be $50.00 next year is very interesting; there are many who seem to be saying that the near term is for a drop in prices (sometimes I see this, for example, Geyser peak Res. Cab. was $44.00 now our local distributor is selling it for $17.99, and that is more and more common), but the long term prices, I am being told, will be for inflationary prices.
    As for me, I’ve bought all I can, but now, I look only for the rare “high quality” deals, reserving the rest for an unpredictable future.
    Oh, if you get a chance, let me know how the 2008 Two Hands Bella’s garden compares to the 2006 Bella’s garden.
    Thanks for your program,
    Dennis

    Well guys, I finally got my answer: the 2008 Bella’s Garden was chosen by Wine Speculator as number TWO on their list of 2010 Top wines!

    I would think that the comment section would be more important than it is!
    Sincerely,
    Dennis
