"Grandes pièces, fauteuils en cuir... le lieu respire. "Et puis le vin, ça a toujours renforcé la convivialité", souffle le patron. D'autant qu'il s'agit du seul bar de la capitale où vous pourrez boire un cru de légende au verre. Du genre Margaux Château du Tertre 1993. Une expérience saisissante, de celles qui vous marquent le palais pour quelques jours. Et cette fois en plus, vous pourrez en parler avec votre voisin de comptoir."
From Merci Alfred

On Getting Upsold on Wine.
Lettie Teague, The Wall Street Journal Wine Critic, writes about the pain of being on the end of an aggressive upsale of wine in expensive restaurants.
"The sommelier thumbed back a few pages. There were a few wines that she liked to offer "special" people, she said and pointed to one—the 1993 Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron, Les Vignottes, for $160. It was a Burgundy from a very good producer, from a successful year—but it was also $100 more than my original selection."
We have all been there, and would agree that in the end it's bad marketing and should be stomped on.
