Prices have come down but i haven’t heard of any going out of business. and i suspect that Ch. Latour will still be profitable at $199 a bottle…

Add the simple fact Gourmet wasn’t designed for people who actually cook. It was as realistic as the photos in Architectural Digest, or a $7 bill. Cooks Illustrated and a number of specialty magazines are far more useful in the kitchen. Gourmet was for rich people who liked the idea of cooking, but ate out a lot. It will be quickly forgotten outside of New York City.
