*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH SOME DECENT WINE ***

I am rather upset at a recent purchase that I made at the Liquor Control
Board of Ontario's Rare Wine (ha) Store (ie. one lonely bottle of 
C. Olivier 1981 - Graves, Grand Cru Classe, $19.50). The wine had virtually no
bouquet and tasted about the same as a very ordinary $5.00 bottle of
Graves. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Can you imagine the
expression on my face when I was expecting a superior quality wine?
It was afterall classed "Grand Cru" sometime back around 1855. What happened?
Did the vinyard suffer some form of blight? If enough of us have had
similar experiences we could probably have their vines declassified! :-)

Do forgive my abrasive tone but I am frightfully disappointed.

Yours,

Randall B.
