the bottle is Chateau Cantermerle
the best bottle depends a little on your pallete. the 1990 Chateau de Pez may be better than the 2 1982 vintages only because of the labels. But the 1982 Chateau Leoville Barton may be the best. the 1981 Lynch-Bages though could also be the best bottle, even though 1981 was an off year for some vintners as Lynch-Bages almost always had superior wines
it's posible the Cantermerle could be well past it's play date
the Sancere could either be an incredible white, or it may have become an over-sweet desert type after being cellared this long as Sancere are made for drinking within a couple years. Like many good wines, that particular bottle (I used to have 12) morphoses into entirely different flavors as it ages

Rich, you totally need to talk to Jeannie. She has "abandoned" the hobby and has turned her unparalleled curiosity into learning about wine. If you recall the energy she displayed about Star Wars, imagine what it would do the art of wine.

I seem to go in cycles. I'll buy a bunch and then decide I can't afford more, so I back off completely for a couple of months. Start to buy a bit and then after awhile am back in full swing. Each cycle seems to have a different commitment and level of buying. One time it is just bottom feeding of cool but cheap stuff. The next time it is occassional purchases of stuff that costs more.
I am currently in hibernation, but thinking that when I get back, I am going after a few of the ones I really want and will likely break my former spending limits on just a couple I really want. I am also considering selling off some of the junk.

Despite numerous attempts to quit or moderate, I'm like the Borg, mindlessly capturing and assimilating all kinds and genres of posters from numerous sources. I have given up on movie art prints - I can't compete with the EBeans crazies....

This is a big part of the fun. I have standing collections, like Spielberg, Polanski, Eastwood, Academy Award nominated pictures, that I will probably keep working on for a long time. Then there are the new collections, like Bardot, Cardinale, Belmondo, Argento... Lollobrigida is probably my next one. Since I'm a completist, it adds a lot of stimulus to my passion. The same goes with countries. It is obviously very easy for me to find French posters. But now I'm finding myself more into Italian posters. Or even prints. Three years ago, I had no idea what Mondo was. Thank you, Cockring!

I am the same, I like the female form when featured in a poster (don't care who or what it's how it looks that matters), and I now am finding I am starting to collect a bit of German paper now as a result, there is a lovely style in the art that comes from that country from the 50s-70s that I do enjoy atm |

Luckily my "wall" is limited by my taste in movie posters. I've yet to spend $400 on any one poster. I've bought a few in the 300's. All the posters that I semi-like above $400, I don't like enough to spend that much on them. A few examples are the Alien Advance, Ferris Ferrari, and Jaws. Sure they are cool, but not cooler than $400 bucks.

Ted, that gif is especially unnerving. Wow.
Rich, you should start a wine thread because I would also like to garner more wine info. All I know is that I used to loathe it, now I prefer it, and would like to know what the heck I am talking about past 'I like this one', or 'I don't like this one'.
Re: the wall...to make matters worse for me, I don't even want the 'cheaper' posters I have anymore, I want to sell 10 of them and use the $ for an old Hitchcock one sheet or whatever. I think as I get older, I may have my collection on the wall or wall rotation of sorts...who knows.

Ben.. the 2 best ways to learn are this 1) get a subscription to Wine Spectator and try to find a book by Robert Parker on wines 2) drink alot of them at Cinevent, if you can corner me for a few minutes.. we can talk about wines |

I know what you are saying. I regret buying all this cheaper stuff I have instead of buying a few really great (aka expensive) posters but I never learn, I just just keep on buying the "cheaper" posters. Its just so hard to say no to a poster I like. |
