But then so do most New Zealand Savvys these days. CB continues to be sold under an urban myth of allocation and unavailability, thats total bollocks. I can get my hands on about a hundred cases if I wanted. Probably more if I went to the grey market. Im not slagging CB (completely) because I do think it is a good wine, but then I dont think there are any bad wines from New Zealand. Even the supermarket plonk is way better than most wines on the shelves these days. But it isnt the greatest wine ever to come from New Zealand, and no amount of bullshit from LVMH will ever convince me of that.grazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353703883421608731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206779.post-84976686870784455482007-04-22T21:54:00.000+00:002007-04-22T21:54:00.000+00:00In reply to Jules' comment, Just what does Cloudy ...In reply to Jules' comment, Just what does Cloudy Bay aspire to be?

I'm not too sure, I have a funny feeling that Cloudy Bay simply aspires to be Cloudy Bay.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743923372331473214noreply@blogger.com
