If you liked Zachy's sales prices before, you'll love them now.

Zachy's sent an e-mail bragging about this. Fine wine and baseball just doesn't sound right to me...

...Well, I don't know, DavidG, I bought that 1918 Haut Brion and the Red Sox have won two World Series since.

Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Cheval Blanc

[DavidG]

That's fine, Jim, but you're not going to drink that 1918 Haut Brion at the ballpark. It would be like drinking Cheval Blanc out of a styrofoam cup at a fast-food joint...

At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeonly snob - both baseball games and fine wine are demanding of one's full attention. You can't do both well at the same time.
