Winery setting Prices, please respond

I can understand her putting a MSRP on it. I am not sure I understand her motives though. Like you said, if she wants to put value on her fathers effort AND reap the benefits, she should charge you more. The only reason I can see asking for a high retail is to get the "prestige" of a high priced wine. She can suggest a msrp to her hearts content. She just shouldn't get kersnippity when you choose to price it at whatever you wish. It sounds like she is a bit new to the retail game. Sometimes family isn't always the best hiring policy.

On a side note, price controlling and laissez-faire usually only can be assosiated with government actions. Like gas prices in the 70's. Or in a monopoly/oligopoly situation. Since she ain't "the man" and she sure as heckfire doesn't control the market, she is just being a bit over enthusiastic with her MSRP.

PS - did you buy the wine from her?
