Paris - Atelier de meubles industriels.

"Il lui manque un je-ne-sais-quoi d'excitant, de viril, de brut de fonderie, de mal dégrossi. Votre appartement, il serait tout simplement parfait avec une touche d'industriel.
L'atelier 154 est situé dans une allée pavée et herbeuse du 11ème. Quand on y pénètre, on laisse la ville lisse en contreplaqué derrière nous. Tout au fond, on entre dans le Showroom et on se laisse guider par Stéphane Quatresous, le maître des lieux."

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.
