Wonder if they have any of the super-expensive wines under lock and key. If you want to be considered an upscale wine shop, better have >$1000 bottles.

Rancho Santa Margarita is upper middle income but probably won't be selling many >$1000 bottles of wine.

I like this display for selling wine at those higher price points:

Reason I ask is that flagship H-E-B in the Bunker Hill neighborhood of Houston did (the most expensive one was $2000 I think). There were maybe only nine bottles that fit into that criteria. They certainly weren't big sellers and probably mostly there for show.
