There were what, 2 barrels = 650 bottles produced, and most of that was drunk up in the 50's and 60's at high-end restaurants in Paris. Yet between Kapon's notes and various other tastings at eBob, there were roughly 6 different bottles of this wine which were drunk in the past year alone. Impossible! Nonsense! Ludicrous! <BR/><BR/>But the whole thread does raise an important point, one which has befuddled the art world as well. If a fake is so well done that you cannot tell the difference and even experts disagree, is it really a fake? And does it really matter? What is the value of an "authentic" art work, anyway?Creative Anarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075675370903881596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-50756912609331317832008-05-21T17:08:00.000-07:002008-05-21T17:08:00.000-07:00It's all so banal.I love the whole blatant ignoran...It's all so banal.<BR/><BR/>I love the whole blatant ignorance of any principles of science or epistemology.<BR/><BR/>I thought rich kids were sent to good schools?the vlmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721550516880594363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-25009137270646422222008-05-21T08:36:00.000-07:002008-05-21T08:36:00.000-07:00Nothing crazy about it.

The comments track rather closely to the participants' economic self-interest.<BR/><BR/>And maybe also to their delusional states and status insecurities, but that's another question.<BR/><BR/>SFJoeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416883255959138934noreply@blogger.com
