That's cheap Bob. Balsamic can be *much* more expensive than that. Try
hundreds of dollars for a few ounces if you want to spend the bucks.
Balsamic is one of those things that does taste better the more it
costs. A small glass if good balsamic is one hell of an aperitif and
it also great over vanilla ice cream believe it or not. I was lucky
enough to have them both over the years and yum.

Am I gonna buy it? Hell no. ;-) I'm not adverse to getting a 25-30
dollar small bottle though. It lasts a long time because you only use
a very small amount and certainly not for salads.
