Burgundy question I've been searching for a decent bottle of Red Burgundy that I may serve with a dinner I'm preparing, of herbed pork tenderloin. I scoured this group and got some recommendations, none of which I've been able to find locally (Portland, ME). The only shop with a decent selection is Browne Trading, and comparing their prices with the median prices I've seen on wine-searcher reveals that their prices for mid range and up Bordeaux, Port, and Burgundy are about 200% market price (as an example, they're selling a bottle of 1996 Carruades de Lafite for $125, where I can buy the same bottle 2 blocks away for $58, which may still be above the median for this). Anyway... Two wines that I've had two different shop owners recommend are wines that I cannot find any reference to in this group. They are: 2002 Dom. François Raquillet Mercurey Rouge Vieilles Vignes 2002 Dom. Brintet Mercurey Rouge Les Vieilles Vignes They are both selling for around $28USD locally. Does anyone know anything about these wines? I've googled this group's history and have found nothing. Any help would be appreciated. If anybody can recommend a widely available California or Oregon Pinot Noir, I might chose to do that instead. Maine is a bit behind the times when it comes to Burgundy and Pinot Noir, though. I can get literally any Bordeaux I want, just about anywhere decent, but the selection of Burg. and PN are about nill everywhere. Odd. - Chris
