A. Still too early, IMO

B. Like most "great" wines, it's too expensive, but like many things, there is a law of diminishing returns the more expensive you go.

C. Get a decent Chateuneuf-Du-Pape and be happy.
CNDP or a nice Nuit Saint George or even, if you want to spend a little more, a Gevrey Chambertin

I dunno whether I've had a Gevrey Chambertin. Gimme a good Vintner, and I'll go pick one up.

I have trouble saying Burgundy in French. "Bourgogne"... tough to say properly. The "Bour.." part of it sounds like it's coming from you're upper intestine.
