However, the clerk said "I am required to charge you the price on the sticker". I stated that I understood that there could have been a mixup but he was insistant that he charge us just short of a ten spot. Wish the same scenario would happen to me when I buy stocks!
Nice gesture from the store... alas, how was the wine showing??

Not to say that some high end whites cant age, of course...
