Now I think we can all admit to have been snobby about a particular wine, producer, grape, etc. but I applaud your decision! I'm a fan of Four Graces, and had no idea Laurent made their wines!

Sometimes this can immediately devalue what potentially is a good winery. I have to admit though, of all the low ball offers they've had we bought more of that duck than anything else. Thanks for joining us in the wine snob free zone! <br /><br />Josh @Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
