ARTICLES


	A Wine Lover's Diary, part 306 My upcoming Grapes for Humanity event; why Icewine makers should be hearing alarm bells from Spain. Wine Appreciation If you had bought a case of Château Latour 1966, a First Growth red Bordeaux, in November 2006 it would have cost about $6,000. In November 2008 that case was valued at $8,500. Not all wines appreciate as handsomely as this, but investment in wine can be as good as gold – or better.
