Yeah that's my other thought on bourbon/spirits


I need another expensive hobby like I need a hole in the head.

In Burgundy in particular - where virtually every wine nerd ends up - the vines from the top wines are old and the soil/mineral compositions of micro sites + their sun exposure, flora, etc. are very unique and create different wines from one plot vs another that may be as close even as across the street. Usually the younger vines that haven't developed enough vineyard character are declassified down to a simple "Bourgogne" blend that isn't necessarily from a single vineyard, but rather just anywhere in Burgundy.

The problem with wine is that expensive wines are not necessarily objectively "tastier" ... just more interesting to wine nerds. But once the bug bites you...
