Patchen Markell wrote:Based on my own impressions and a glance at the spreadsheet, it looks to me like in the last two years we've pushed the "everyday" cap from about $22 to $29. I'd guess this is because we're in an "actively exploring" rather than "comfortably coasting" mode, including in some relatively pricey regions; and also because I've been building up the "ageworthy" side of the cellar too, which has included buying at price points compared to which sub-$30 seems pretty "weeknight." But that's a cap, not an average, and we still drink plenty of sub-$20 bottles, though much less often sub-$13.
