No doubt you're right, not only about being an elitist, but also about the relative weakness of burgundy in the more affordable price range. The question of the tertium comparationis is a philosophical one here, I guess, and comparing two very different regions along the lines of price range is debatable. Both Torsten and I have swabian roots, so understand that we are genetically determined cheapskates to some extent. We want bang for the buck, no apologies, and I'll say this: as an elitist wine region, I think it's only right to hold Burgundy to the strictest standard at every level.
