Good lesson. I'll keep it in mind if I ever go commercial. 8)

This was not a shock. As the article makes clear, there was not an understanding of the market. Linden and Barboursville pricing often gets challenged as excessive for VA and yet she was pricing higher without a track record.

It was ridiculous from beginning to end. All very sad, but perhaps the vineyards will end up with someone who knows what they are doing. Kluge regularly produced the best sparklers on the east coast and you could argue in the US. However their prices could drive one to drink Champagne! :roll:
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
