The August issue of Ebony magazine features several articles focused on wine. Topics include great wine gifts, cooking with wine, and an interview with Stephen Sterling, owner of Esterlina Vineyards.
Of particular interest, Sterling was asked about
differences in wine pricing. Sterling responded, "Wine is one of the few commodities where price and quality do not necessarily have a strong correlation. Generally, the difference between grape pricing has to do with the real estate costs in the area where grapes are grown. Napa and Sonoma area grapes cost more than grapes grown in Texas."
Who knew wine price and real estate were closely connected?
