I worked there for about a month, and I never felt that any of the wines were anything to write home about. As far as relabeling and/or severe mark-ups go, I would be inclined to believe it. I don't have proof, but after understanding how they do business in general, I wouldn't put it past them. It's not until after one leaves there that it really sinks in how thye do business. They "hire" 10-14 people at a time, and fire half or more of them within their first week. I left a perfectly good job because I was "sold" the job at Montesquieu. I was lucky enough to last longer than everyone else in my training class, but I just didn't push enough wine onto unsuspecting old ladies to remain there. C'est la vie. I would never buy anything from them now, and I can't help but feel sorry for those that I sold that two-buck chuck to.
