You never really understood the point I was making. You see anyone with the desire will be able to make great ribs. But I was talking about food that is so complex, I could never in my lifetime hope to prepare. You have to understand, there is a reason why people pay money for great cuisine and great wine. If you think about it, most of those people are rich and successful and will only spend money to get great value. So when you drop a grand on a meal, it will be worth it or the restaurant will crash and burn.
As for the wine, the same rules apply. It is called the free market. If it is not worth the price, it won't sell.
A good example. I was reading about this Atlanta madam that got busted in a million dollar house. In my neck of the woods, that is a tear down or a pretty good apartment. In Atlanta it is still luxury. And I gotta say, I wish it was the same here because an apartment....that I can see from my deck...just got listed at 18.2 million.
So the point I am making is value is perception and value is what you can sell for more than you paid.
