Prices in tasting notes

[Otto_Dobre]

I tend to post prices on QPR’s especially if the price is…say sub $50.

If I’m at a trade tasting and post notes, I will include the prices.

If I’m at my house crackin’ bottles with friends, prices will not be included.

If I’m smackin’ Zach’s Ass in a side alley, that will cost him a Five spot, cuz that’s how
he rolls.

Wow, i guess you really do like me…you used to charge $20 for that!

To give a more complete answer it kind of depends on when and where for me. When I post notes from a gathering then I don’t bother with prices. I’m not there to make that sort of commentary on the wines just kind of give my impressions on how it all went. When I write notes for things consumed at home where I have more time to consider it then I often make a commentary on the value of the wine though not always. And obviously that is a direct commentary on the price so you might see it mentioned there. Most often for lower end wines where I think that is more important. Once you go over $40-50 then that starts to become a bit less relevant except for instance where it really stands out as a bad or really good value in comparison to similar wines at big prices.

Wow, I REALLY hate to do it, but I have to give it to brother Whetstone…This is pretty much what I was thinking when I first posted. I like the price shown when the price is relevant. A great wine, cheap…or a lousy wine that is a horrible deal.

I generally don’t mention the price in the tasting notes unless I consider it a factor. (i.e. an especially bad or especially good value.)
