More Wine Shop Antics!

I mentioned in a post several weeks ago a bait and switch problem at my local wine purveyor. I clearly didn't learn my lesson and gave the shop another shot at winning my business today... Unfortunately I discovered another infraction that was either pure laziness or intentional deceit.

In this particular store, rated wines are labeled with their score beside the price tag. It draws the eye and makes it easier for some to find an affordable, quality wine. Be careful though wine shoppers, make sure and read your labels closely. Make sure the rating and year on the label matches the year on the bottle. A rated wine for a 2006 vintage does not make the 2005 or 2007 equally as good. It's true that a good wine maker can crank out excellent wines year over year, but the one thing they cannot control is weather! Caveat emptor

Cheers!
