I suggest you have been deeply programed with the "my tastes
correlate with expense therefore with quality therefore I am discerning
therefore my esteem is raised" meme complex.
I on the other hand am a truley gifted winedrinker. Although I
can distinguish obvious taste differences, I have no preferences
(especially after the first bottle). Give me 6 bottles of the cheap
stuff over 1 bottle of the expensive stuff everytime.
Still I dont want to argue over matters of taste. Especially not
with the auther of a book I have just invested 22 pounds sterling in
(perspective, this is all my disposable income for a week.) I am away
for a few days but I look foreward to being able to raise a question
with you after I have carefully read the whole book.
