One of the guys last night is in the biz, a consultant for mostly high
end collectors. He was saying most of them look at him like he's crazy
when he says he prefers Roulot to Coche Drury.
So, they did some Blind Faith? Was rest split between their history?

The wines are certainly different animals. I prefer the Coche-Dury
but one could make a compelling argument for either one. Roulot makes
a pretty good Marc from chardonnay as well. They did a little Blind
Faith, and a lot of there own stuff. Overall it was very well done
and having seen EC about 20 times it might be the best I've heard him
play yet.
