Stratospheric record for Garagiste wines
I just got word from the Bicycle Transportation Alliance that the Garagistes package I donated to their Alice Awards fundraising auction pulled in a record haul: $285 smackers!
Contrats to the lucky (and so savvy) bidder — and thanks for supporting the BTA so generously!
Let’s break out the slide rule. In addition to DVDs of Life in Vine, The Real Dirt on Pinot Noir, and Mondo Ego, the package included a temporal panorama of Garagiste flavors:
-
2003 Klipsun Cabernet
2004 Peugeot
2005 Cabernet Franc
2005 Peugeot
2006 Merlot
2006 Deux-Chevaux
So, let’s stipulate that the DVDs made up $75 of the price ($25 each – what a deal!). That leaves $210 for the six bottles, or $35 each. Since the 6-pack we donated to the Auction last year pulled in $22.50 each, that’s a new world record!
Start screaming in earnest, Screaming Eagle…

LG as a Veblen good? So awesome. Also, note that production of the cult wines referenced in the Wikipedia entry is as low as 300 cases. We could do 300 cases, easy.
