Well I can tell you that a $200 bottle of Remy Martin XO cognac is much better than any less expensive VSOP. There is a marked difference in smoothness and more of a caramel flavor. As for wine expensive champagne is definitely superior to cheap bubbly but in wine I'm not so sure. I don't think I've had a really expensive bottle. The most expensive I've tried was a $70 bottle of white burgundy. I've had $50 bottles and $30 bottles but none of them seemed any better to me than a $20 bottle. When it comes to wine we usually stay at $20 or less. Especially since we have it so often. It would be way too expensive for us to drink 5 bottles a week at $50 a bottle.

By the way, how do $1.99 wines taste?

A $1.99 bottle of wine (like Mad Dog 20/20) tastes sweet and like grapes according to my expert friend. The cheapest wine I ever had was Boone's Farm it was good, but I was a kid then. Now I stick to mostly $15.00bottles from the Georgia Wineries near here:) I LOVE IT!!!
Doug I was wondering why couldn't you fix some of your menus in matts and frame them in nice frames and use them as a kitchen/dining room decoration scheme! I think that would be so cool! Just an idea!
