Dear friends,
For those who have been following the issue of counterfeiting in the "old
and rare" market and/or the Rudy Kurniawan case in particular, interesting
coverage of the subject appears in an article titled "Chateau Sucker" in the
May 13 issue of New York magazine:
http://nymag.com/print/?/news/features/rudy-kurniawan-wine-fraud-2012-5/.
The highly detailed 25-page Kurniawan indictment, handed down by a New York
grand jury a week ago, is available for your reading pleasure on Michael
Steinberger's blog (winediarist.com) and the free portion of Jancis
Robinson's website (jancisrobinson.com) among other sources.
Enjoy your Spring - and may all your wines be genuine :-)
Russ
