Yes it is actually!
People who conider themselves as wine snobs so to speak look for the big named high priced wines to show their friends.
In private tastings in Napa and Sanoma distric of Cal. the Charrdanay had such a difference in taste that it was mind numbing.
The wine business has changed so much in the last few years it is unconciviable for many people.
Hell, I had many first growth French Bourdeauxs in my collection, it was not funny.
But guess what, if you do not drink them then it is grape juice in the friggen bottle. Nice to look at and brag about unless you are a wine merchant.
So what do you know about wines?
I worked for a California Winery, owned a Liquor Store, ran a state part of a wholesaler, was with the Gallo Division of a wholesaler, and the Import Division of a Distillery, am a personel friend of a Kansas Vineyard owner who has won many awards from all over the world.
Wine prices are getting ridicioulous anymore.
Buy a decent wine that can be consumed soon and just enjoy it!
