What's next Alaska? In all seriousness I was wondering why he vineyard was at such a high altitude. Does it have something to do with the heat at lower elevations being to extreme?

It must have been tough to set up with all that's goign on over there. I thought I heard some machine gun fire in the background. I agree with the issue of high VA in his wines. Don't know if I agree with his answer. Frank Thanks for going around the world to interview Serge. It must have been tough to set up with all that’s goign on over there.

I read somewhere that he aged his wine in concrete vats and was hoping to hear more about that. I was wondering why he preferred concrete to wood; I never heard of anyone making wine that way. I own a bottle of Chateau Musar red, 1991 vintage. I was saving it for a special occasion but I don't want to drink it with anyone who wouldn't appreciate it. If any of you guys come down to Los Angeles, be sure to look me up and we'll pop the cork. I guess the '91 vintage is relatively young given the amount of aging that Serge does before release, but I understand it was one of the better years. I enjoyed your interview with Serge Hochar.
