The company then prepared a $1.5 million ad campaign to introduce the California wines with a splash. The promotions show Taylor's rose, Rhine and burgundy being taste-tested and found superior to similar popularly priced ($1.90 to $2.99 a bottle) wines. Many of the 27 judges in the tests were not professionals but merely wine buffs who are members of the San Francisco Vintners Club, which meets for weekly...
