Mary Roach Quote
Plays a game with his wine-marketing classes at Napa Valley College. The students, most of whom have several years’ experience in the industry, are asked to rank six wines, their labels hidden by—a nice touch here—brown paper bags. All are wines Wagner himself enjoys. At least one is under $10 and two are over $50. Over the past eighteen years, every time, he told me, the least expensive wine averages the highest ranking, and the most expensive two finish at the bottom.
