In this way there would be no danger of creating winery income inequality.

Why do you say that? It's a blend used all over the Languedoc and I would imagine he's encountered those wines before.

I was having this very conversation with Jean at lunch. On what planet is $40 a bottle (FTR, wine-searcher has them at a low price of $65, $42 and $25, respectively) considered "Costco" wine? I think that most US citizens would consider those prices to be quite reasonable for a state dinner.
