I introduce the bottle at my shop with my thumb over the price tag in order to get the "oh, what is he trying to take me to the cleaners with today?" effect.

I concur. Chambolle - Duh! Right? People get so prickly. But then again, many people on our side of the biz just think too ass-backwards. Christophe - (yoda)Like milk they are. You speak the truth. Opus One? Excites me it does not. Dona Paula Cabernet for $16.99?? Everyone should buy a case for the holidays. Impressive, satisfied you will be. (/yoda) AL - Sing it! I concur.

However, every now and then, I am surrounded by a lot of McMansion wine schmucks, so I try and get my fill of image margin wines when I can. They are boring and homogenous. So are the wines.
