...have a wine that's in demand, you can sell it," he shrugs. In the village of Margueron an hour's drive away to the east, at Jean Charles' winery just behind the medieval church, the picture couldn't be more different. Charles usually sells his entire wine output to a local merchant, who bottles and markets it for him. But this year, for the first time, the merchant is refusing to take any of it. The stainless-steel vats in Charles' shed are filled with tens of thousands of liters of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from last year...
...refuse a huge amount, about 90% of the wine people offer us," Guiraud says. "Sure, we'll follow our old clients, but only if the wine is up to quality and they don't keep increasing production." On both counts, he says he has "some concerns" about Charles' output. Driving these changes is a new hard-nosed attitude among Bordeaux's main customers: French supermarkets. They're pushing for good deals because per capita wine consumption in France has halved since the 1960s; wine is no longer a staple with meals. Bordeaux made a huge strategic mistake by stepping...
...Marie Courselle knows all too well what he means. Château Thieuley, which her grandfather bought in the 1950s, used to sell about 30% of its output to big French retailers.

They are now busy trying to build up a direct commercial network of their own. That means relying on a handful of merchants to sell into major markets, and doing the rest themselves. When they are not harvesting...
...wall for less mess, but also less flexibility. Both the Tuner and the Pro have pass-through capability so, in most cases, you can leave it connected to your setup without disrupting your at-home viewing. You must connect the Slingbox AV to a secondary video output, or in place of your TV when you?re heading out of town. The downside to the Pro is that to do the HD thing, you have to pay an extra $50 for the HD Connect cable-and you still might have to go to RadioShack for an extra cable...
Harvard’s most disappointing output over the weekend came in New Haven, Conn. at the Yale Women’s Intersectional. The regatta pitted 21 teams against each other, with the bulk of the races coming on Saturday. Both days featured relatively choppy waters, and with most of the top women in Hanover, the conditions affected the less experienced Crimson sailors on the way to a 16th-place finish...
