Word to the wise re an interesting item on Jancis Robinson’s site today:  http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/a20101117.html

It may be that not too many of us buy at a level (cru classe Bordeaux, etc.) that would tend to attract cold callers, bogus or otherwise.  But any time we part with our money before taking physical possession of the wine, we need to consider the identity, reputation and track record of the merchant we’re dealing with.

Happy Thanksgiving to all -
