	Bear in mind that the Wine Advocate is written expressly for those
_investing_ in wines. It's quite possible that wines not meeting outstanding
organoleptic standards might become excellent barter in the future.

	Robert Parker is concerned primarily with the trading potential
of wines and not its drinking qualities.

	It's interesting to note that the only California wine that the
Advocate will even consider is the Private Reserve Cabernet of Beaulieu
Vineyards of Rutherford, California. It certainly, in a given year, will
not have the best Cabernet, but it's track record (key words) over the
many decades since Georges de LaTour have given it a distinctive trading
and investing value.
