Winning the Lottery

This month's article on DRC and the ridiculous price it costs got me to thinking...what wine would I spend my hard earned $$$ on if money was not a factor (e.g. I won the lottery*). Would I, like so many other “newly rich” find the allure of DRC too spellbinding and fork out the necessary thousands to join that illustrious club? Would I drink only First Growth Bordeaux, forsaking all other wine not rated Grand Cru or scoring less than 99.9999 points from Robert Parker?

I'd like to think I wouldn’t. I like to imagine that I would carry on pretty much as usual, trawling through the murky depth of the wine world, head lamp flickering intermittently, always searching for those hidden (reasonably priced) gems.

Of course I’ve always been a romantic dreamer and anyone who knows me well knows that I would be straight off to Burgundy.

What about you? If you suddenly became an instant millionaire, what wines would shortly be gracing your table?

 *P.S.

 This reminds me of a great Bill Cosby joke (apologies to Bill): There's this guy Enid - in short, he's not doing too well. So, every night, just before bed, Enid kneels and prays to God: "Oh God the merciful please help me. My wife has left, I owe 6 months rent, I have no money to pay her alimony and my car needs to be repaired. Please, please God let me win the Lottery". Every night for a year Enid prays to God in this way. And every day he wakes up and hasn't won a single dollar.

 Then one evening, after finishing his ritual prayer, a voice comes to Enid from the Heavens:

 "Enid" booms the voice.

 "Is that you God?"

 "Yes Enid it is".

 "Oh please God" implores Enid "... please, please, please can you make sure I win the Lottery. I need this more than ever. The cat's sick, I've lost my Job, and if I don't pay all my parking fines they'll send me to jail...please, please, please -  let me win the Lottery...".

 "Enid"

 "Yes God"

 "How about this time you meet me half-way...and BUY A F*&KING TICKET!"
