When talking about wine I often feel like the little boy who blurts out that the Emperor has no clothes.
Many houses offer us good budget label wines in the hope that these will tempt us to try their more serious offerings. Needless to say, the serious stuff costs twice, thrice, even four times as much as the cheapo. But the expectation is that on trying it we will nod solemnly, say ???Mmm, one does see the difference,??? and??banish all memory of the budget wine.
Often this strategy works....
