Fabulously Expensive

Margo has already forgotten that Scott is fabulously wealthy. Again.
Fun fact: Chateau Margaux is a real winery. It has a rich history. Maybe I should have known that, but I had to look it up. Even funner fact: according to Wikipedia, "A bottle of Château Margaux 1787 holds the record as the most expensive bottle of wine ever broken, insured at $225,000"
How much do you think this bottle is worth? Probably not that much, but now I'm wondering how that 200 grand bottle was broken, and if it had anything to do with a pregnant woman coming home to find her husband sipping wine with some other woman.

Oui, oui. Sacre bleu!

I hope Margo doesn't make a faux pas. She is a femme fatale with her force majeure.

C'est la vie. A la mode.

"See how proper storage has caused the sediment to settle to the side! Now, watch what happens when I hold the bottle upright and shake it like this..."

I think this is a bottle of BoardO, a cheap red sparkler. Bordeaux doesn't come in Champagne bottles. Also curious as to why someone with a wine cellar doesn't own any wine glasses; they are drinking their BoardO from cordial glasses. Hmmm, DIY nursery and rotgut in tiny glasses? Perhaps all is not well in $cottsville.

Wait.. dude is fabulously wealthy and asks Margo to decorate his nursery for free? If he's going to be dropping some cash (as is apparent by the bottle of wine he's bringing up), wouldn't he be better off hiring someone who *doesn't* put a china hutch in the nursery?
