I do think at that point it would be confirmation bias, in that if the wine tastes like a 100 pt wine, then the color all of a sudden is beautiful.
It doesn't make much sense to have color account for so much.

At a Distributor expo I did try Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard 2007 (an overinflated 100 pts from Parker), and while I thought it was very good, I would never ever, ever, ever pay $240+ a bottle for it.
I love this post. Wine enjoyment vs. Price is such an interesting topic to me.

That being said, the best Rose I have ever had was Kracher Illmitz Rose made from the Zweigelt grape from Burgenland, Austria. Unbelievable, especially for the price (if you can find it). Anybody living in Savannah, GA go to www.lechai.com to pick some up. Amazing juice, and to add to the point of this post, I had it on my honeymoon on Tybee Island.

To re-focus my point, while restaurant and retail staff influence what customers buy, how much of a trickle down effect is there of retail and restaurant staff being influenced by the press? I can't tell you the countless times I have wandered into a wine store and when I ask for a recommendation the salesman says "This wine scored a 92 in the Wine Advocate," or something along those lines. So, while the buying public is a couple of steps removed from the press and critics, the people selling them the wine usually are not.
Does that make sense? Perhaps I shouldn't be drinking wine while typing this out.
