Why is Gaja's wine so expensive??

Stunned that I agree so totally with Foodie on anything but there it is: Wineries selling wines and telling me to lay them down for ten years is like a plumber telling me I can't use my new bathroom until I caulk the pipes. If you make wine, MAKE FREAKIN' WINE - ready for consumption, best foot forward, heavy lifting done for the CONSUMER. I don't doubt that Europeans have a different attitude about this but we just ARE, doggone it, different from Europe. We except, here in our free-enterprise society, to have the work done when the bill arrives. There's an ocean of wine out there. It's gonna take a heap of fancy 'splainin' to convince me why I should drink your prissy little cellar job in ten years when I can drink something every bit as good NOW.
