Paul,
I just *love* a dose of radicalism from time to time )))))).
Old farts like myself have quite a backlog of fine wine, so the money angle is not so important (by the way, I would never, ever sell any of my wine, whatever price it commands).
I know this: if I took a bottle of great Bordeaux, emptied it, and filled it up again with a good Bordeaux costing a tenth the price, no more that 10% of people would notice anything unusual.
I've had a considerable share of the name wines and, yes, the snob wines. Been around the block on those.
So, my view is changing too, although not quite as much as yours.
And I also like my wines increasingly younger. Yeah, I get the part about tertiary comlexity that only comes with time. But wines with fresh fruit and vigor are becoming increasingly enjoyable for me at the dinner table.
