I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

It's not LSD, but it's close.
Domaine Laure, Saint Aubin, Les Eduens, 2005. ($22.99 at Wine Exchange) If you love acid - and I love acid - you will love this little Red Burgundy. It's very rare to see St. Aubin Rouge in the States. The appellation is located at the top of hill, kinda wedged between the upper parts of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The appellation produces mostly white wines, so this red drinks like a white, loads of taut acidity, stony minerality and subdued cherry fruit. This wine NEEDS food or at least cheese or it may be a bit of a shock on your palate!

I thought you drank this once before at 750ml in South Pasadena about two months ago?
