If you are a CSI New York fan, you may want to watch on March 21. They are doing an episode where they are going to attempt to identify a wine fraud. It’s not clear exactly what they’re going to do or show (and how realistic it will be), but it might be fun to watch.

Interesting and topical considering that fake wine has been in the news quite a bit lately. But you don’t need to spend 170 bucks on a tome like the one linked to above to avoid buying fake wine, just take Steve Bachmann over at Vinfolio’s advice:
Pay attention to provenance and be prepared to pay more for when it’s solid — it’s worth it.
How much more is the real question. Steve figures for older vintages a 30% premium is the going rate. Be sure to have a look at his full post for all the details.
