At least according to the New York Times. Actually I think their point is well taken. Almost nobody comes into the store asking for Bordeaux. And nobody is interested in the under thirty dollar Bordeaux. The good stuff is just over $30 and that's that. It's also a problem. Bordeaux is a very specific style of wine. Remember, "Wine is an acquired taste" to quote a great writer about wine*. And learn to appreciate a wine style you need to start somewhere. And no-one wants to start at $30 a bottle that they might not like the the first five or ten times you try it.
